Hi, I do not have too much knowledge in creating computer art and was wondering if you guys can please help. If you look at the website whichpoker.co.uk, I was wondering how would you go about creating their logo, what software and hardware do I need? Thanks

You could basically use every image software. Photoshop is the professionals choice ( though its quite expensive ).

Start by getting the apropriate fonts. Create the poker writing and replace the 'o' by three nested circles ( red, white, red ), add the cogwheel like blocks into the white circle. create the crown ( similar processing, just a few basic geometric objects, that are added or subtracted from one another ). now select the whole thing, and add a gradient ( the 'o' gets a gradient in a different color ).

now add an arcuated writing ( 'which' ) on top of the 'poker' writing. apply gradient. select everything. expand the selection by some pixels ( say 8 ) , and fill that selection with the dark blue color ( be sure to use a new layer ). now lessen the selection by round about 3 pixels, and fill it with white. put the layer with the two writings on top of the outline one and there you go...

Cool, I thought I had to draw the damn fonts by hand, I was going to buy a tablet. LOL!

I dont know much about logo making and all that...but here are some free alternatives to the PHOTOSHOP and FONT products, you can use GIMP (great free program) and DAFONT.com( many free fonts)
