Speech Bubble Tutorial

i made my speech bubbles in flash. I started by creating a grey background. I then made the fill colour white and the stroke colour black. I then selected the oval tool and created an oval shape on my document. After this I selected the line tool and made to lines coming of of the oval to make the tail of the speech bubble.after that i then used the paint bucket tool to fill the gap inbetween these lines. I then used the selection tool to select the bit of the outline of the oval between the two new lines I have made and deleted it. I then selected the selection tool and curved these to lines to make it look better. I then double clicked in the centre of my speech bubble and pressed F8 to make this a movie clip so i can use it over and over again rather than making new ones. I the placed two more speech bubbles onto my document and adjusted them to make them come from different directions. I then used the text tool to add text to each bubble to get a conversation going.

Logos

A logo is a graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. Logos are either purely graphic or are composed of the name of the organization. An example of an abstract mark is the blue octagon representing Chase Bank, while an example of a representational mark is the Everyman icon of PBS. Examples of well-known logotype are the striped IBM design, Mobil written in blue with a red "o" and CocaCola written in flowing red script.
