Milwaukee Blue Ribbons

This was a request to resemble the Pabst Blue Ribbon logo. I came up with 2 things here, but I can tell I need to clean or change them up a little. The border doesn't look clean, in the first one and I think I need some kind of border line, to bring it all together, around the second one.

Very nice Truth!

The only way I could get the edges smooth was to redraw the whole thing as a vector. Just add your other images to it and you're good to go.

Permission to use that diamond in the future? It's outstanding!

Thanks....that's just what it needs....a clean line. Which vector program are you using? I am thinking cs2 is definitely not the only way to go with some of this stuff.

**edit**

Maybe I am wrong and there is a vector side of photoshop with the pen tools. I am checking. I am pretty sure I am doing it wrong to accomplish what I need to make the diamond just like you did. But I still would like to know which vector program you are using.

I'm using Xara Xtreme.

I still need to use the Gimp for image editing, but Xtreme does everything else.

To show you some of what it can do, here's what I turned that field into...

Excellent, thanks justafan. 79 bucks seems like a decent price for a pay software. Just starting to read up on what I can do, it's apparent I have to do something different than what I did on those 2 logos above.
