Using a font that is not installed in another PC
I have to use text in the logo that I am designing>>
I use adobe illustrator for designing, I will use a font that is installed in my pc, and then my design will be sent to some people that I am not sure if they have the same font in there pc or not >>
Is there any whey that can make the font visible in any PC?

If you are "designing a logo" then your final product will be some kind of image file. It does not matter what fonts you use in the image.

Hi romram,
Actually, there's no need to Create Outlines if you're sending the file as a PDF; but if you're sending it as an Illustrator file then yup, Shift-Ctrl-O to create Outlines will convert the text to paths. Mind you, it won't be editable as text anymore.
Good Vibes!

I'd love to help you, but these are design questions...
I would save your original as a .bmp and covert to other formats as needed.
Take a look around the 'Net and pay close attention to logos.

There really isn't a standard size because everyone's need and/or eye for design are different. Color can greatly impact a visitor's perception. (Studies have shown that blue shades are more "people-friendly" than other shades, for instance...but may not work for the theme of your site or project.)
In regards to being able to re-size it, for the most part: yes...although different compression methods will yield various results. To avoid this, once you've decided on a basic design, crete several logos in different sizes for use in various applications. That way your logo looks just the way you designed it...rather than "squished" because someone didn't want to dedicate sufficient room for it.

if my logo is going to be used in a web site also what are the colors and resolution to be used? shoud I design my log in different sizes???
The colors will depend upon YOUR choices. The logo colors should not only complement your site layout, but they should also contrast the rest of the site slightly to better highlight it. You don't want your logo to get lost in the page.
The higher your resolution, the clearer your logo will be. The downside is it will take a lot longer for your logo to load. Your best bet is to just use the Windows default.
If you are sending your logo out for someone else to use, then I would suggest laying it out in several different sizes so you don't have to worry about "squish factor". Depending on how complex you make your logo, you may not need to spend a lot of time in this area.
If you haven't checked it out yet, go download the GIMP and play around with it a bit.

It is an open-source graphics editor that rivals just about anything else available...and it is FREE.

Sorry HeadIdiot>>
I just picked the questions that helped the most>>>
" your final product will be some kind of image file. It does not matter what fonts you use in the image."
I don't want to submit the image, because I have to submit the original file...
