I am a relatively new user to Corel Draw X5. I have been trying to develop a font the has a black outline, a red fill in the middle and a thin white line between the black and red. The font I'm using is Gils Sans Ultra Bold. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave
Hello deigel; most of the font's you use if you notice are black and white, If you are working on something for your self colors may be ok, if it a logo you are working on what kind of help do you need?
My Thoughts George
Yes, this is for a logo. It is for a company I purchased and I'm trying to match a previous logo the company used.
Can you clarify your question a little? Do you really need to "develop a font," Dave?
Or is it enough to create the logo based on Gill Sans and dress it up from there?
If you only need it for a logo, it probably doesn't need to be type at all. Understanding what you really want to do would help us to help you.
Thanks for the replies. I'll try to be a little clearer. I'm trying to use the Gils Sans Ultra Bold font to match an old logo. This font isnt exactly the same but close enough. My main problem is trying to learn how to have a dual outline of black and white with the center fill of red. The older font I'm trying to match was created in AI. The goal is for a thin black outline with a thin white outline inside the balck then the fill. Hope this helps.
Hello Again deigel; if you can post the old logo here we can take a look for you. Keep in mind when you make a logo make it so it can be used on more than just a sheet of paper. Doors, Windows, Vehicles, ect. ) If it's to big to post you can email it and tell me what you want and I'll try and give it a wack for you.
