For anyone curious as to how I worked on this, I first imported the original graphic into CorelDRAW. I then used that program to work with the "Forest City" type and get it into the shape that I wanted. I also redid the "Lumberjacks" type as well so I could change the colours. Fortunately I had a script font which was very close to that used in the original logo.

Once I had things set the way I wanted, I exported the CorelDRAW file using Photoshop document format. Corel allows you to do this, and it retains all the layering used in the original CorelDRAW file. Very handy feature. Once opened in Photoshop I did a few small tweaks, making the background slightly bigger and making a copy of the tip of the bat so it sits over the "Forest City" type. Once done I flattened the file and saved it as a jpeg.

Here it is:
good work LGO, but I think you may have taken the long way in doing this. You can actually alter the small changes right in photoshop since the only changes required here are adding the text and altering the colours. Simply select the white with the magic wand or colour range in photoshop and you can instantly change the colour of the script without redoing it in corel draw. Just my 2-cent.

Even though the text defintely looks cleaner now that you have redone it, but personally I think it's not really worth the trouble to redo the entire script just for a colour change. Nice work as always though.
