Free, Quick and Easy Header Graphics Generator

[Colin Evans]

G'day Warriors,

It's been a while since I was last online - living in the sticks has its drawbacks

But I have been busy creating various scripts (I have WAMP installed on my laptop), one of them is a website/blog header graphics generator.

The basic idea is to use it in a auto website/blog setup.

I've installed it on my blog for anybody to use, so can I ask you to give it a try and to let me know what improvements you think it needs?

Here's the link: Logo Maker

Thanks to all who replied, as per your suggestions I have added:
- a font preview facility
- a facility to upload blank header graphics.
- a tabbed interface so no more scrolling required.

Very nice!

The only thing that I would really appreciate is some kind of preview for each font. Otherwise it could take ages to pick a suitable font.

I agree with product creator, other than that, looks like you really have got something there.

[Colin Evans]

OK, will do - I'll work on a custom font drop down which prevues the fonts...

Useful tool, Colin. Very quick & easy. Thank you for sharing.

[Rob Barbour]

Thanks for sharing!

It would be nice to be able to upload a background image or a pattern.

Other ideas:
- save preferences
- ability to revert to last settings (if you change something and want to go back)
- ability to create multiple sizes at the same time instead of just one
- have the preview/final banners off to the left and the main window are up so I don't have to scroll each time

Thanks for all the comments - I have added a preview system for the fonts - next I will add the ability to upload graphics.

It's taking some time because of the seriously long and frequent power cuts here (and too many beers) ...

Thank you for such a top quality post, I will download the tool now and thanks for sharing, I have been looking for something like this for a while

Nice work!

[Colin Evans]

I have now added a system for uploading and editing blank header graphics - I've also added a tabbed interface so you don't have to scroll up and down while editing the graphic.

Next on the cards is a system for automatically generating simple website templates and blog themes based on the colors used in the header logo...

It's not a downloadable tool - this is a resource I have created for my blog readers to use for creating header and footer graphics. It will ultimately be a website template/blog theme generator...
