Kitty Soules Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I need help making a sunshine effect on my logo. The logo consists of a circle (being the moon) covering over an empty space with an outline (being the sun), and I'm trying to recreate an effect seen when outside. Sunshine, if you will. Here's what I mean: However, I need this to appear simpler, as simple is always better. This is a logo, so it needs an iconic look. Can anyone help?

david.atwell Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 As a designer, may I warn you against making a full-color image as your logo? You may want to consider reading some tutorials online for making a good, iconic logo. You want it to be reproducible at many sizes, and in color as well as black-and-white. That's why simple shapes and wordmarks make such excellent logos.

The moon is simply a black circle overlapping a white, empty circle with the words "Eclipse" around it. So I wanted a simple little sunshine to accompany so you'd know that it was a sun.
