ok so i am making a button for my robotics team. i have the initial stuff set up (but i suck at photoshop) so things are a bit weird right now and well literally the design sucks.
im not sure if this is against forum rules, but can someone "do" it for me.
when i say "do" i am lightly using it. i will provide the ideas and the pictures. all the person has to do is "Photoshop" it out and if he/she wishes add some of their own magic to making it look awesome.
i would say Monday would be a good time to have it done .. but if anyone wants to try their skills at photoshop or something.
you may not believe me, but i will say that the person did it for me (i wont take the full credit for it).. i know thats a bit hard to believe, but trust me please.

these are two that i did ( the 2nd one is after playing with the settings, the first one is the original) but it would be doing something like that, making it more techie and adding a cool phrase or so..and shrinking the pics so they fit in the circle or something like that
the more people who want to try it out the better it can be [ if it really is amazing and cool, i can have the team make all sorts of buttons i suck at photoshop, and illustrator and GIMP is still confusing to me...
so once again, i am not sure if this is against forum rules because of the "do" part, but like i said, i won't take credit for it. so if you want to help me out, comment below :) [and like i said, multiple people can help me out, the more designs the happier we all are!!]
*PS tell me if this is against forum rules :)
the details:
like i mentioned before, this is a button you pin to the shirt. Now for this button we need it to include about 4 things (maybe 5)
1. we need the mascot

2. we need the following design (triangle, circle, square included:

3. It has to be a techie design
4. it has to say: "Team Paradox 2102"
make this in somewhat fancy letters. (not too boring, but not tooo glamorous.. just perfect :) )
~i actually like your cogizio font, it has that ring, but if you have another one with that ring to it, than go for that
5. Draw in the inner circle
see if this link works: https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=088746274e&view=att&th=12e027a37a0fed5f&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=f_gjw0qdtf0&zw
if not then this: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Lx2jWoq4dqKSzAj6j-OUUQ?feat=directlink
ok so like you can see the design i did in the first post, its not what i want (1. its not in the inner circle, and 2. admit it, it is horrible :) )
also as you can see in this horribly done picture [one below] (my painting skills need work ;) )
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/EAYbZ-BVXYcC30g0FAd1Rg?feat=directlink
make it interesting. if possible, can you take the logo (triangle circle square) and make it so it spells paradox.. i tried to do that, but i think i would need that ability to twist and turn things so they are molded like that. [feel free to make your own as long as it is similar to the original]
(that was just an idea, if it is too hard or complicated to understand/do feel free to back out, but we need to include the logo someplace where it stands out… maybe we could shape it like a boombox or musical note
6. and for the "phrase" maybe something like ~ Team Paradox 2102 Loves You!..
personally i like : "Do the Paradox" so try adding that one first and see if that fits the style :)
7.oh yes, the team colors are yellow and red (so you can center around that, but im sure it wont matter)
PS> tell me if this is confusing.. ill make it easier to understand :)
thanks man, i really appreciate the work and effort. kudos
lets shoot for monday->tuesday, if thats okay with you..

1) You find the piece of paper and rescan it.
2) You re-trace it on the computer.
3) You re-trace it on paper.
4) I re-trace it on the computer.
I don't want it to be #4--that takes hours and hours and hours and hours to do. 
ok i retraced it :)
here it is:

EDIT:
hey locutus, can you do another favor. can you make two buttons (exactly the same and all), except instead of that first picture of the pegasus, use this one:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/mDEWs0iZF_OxEI2bYLMlJA?feat=directlink
so two buttons with same formatting and all, but with just another pegasus..
tell me if its possible?.. :)
thanks prema

OMG!!! I love it! it is sooo cool!
thanks so much locutus!
BTW is it possible to add a background or is it too late [as one of the req. is it has to be techie]? Im just wondeirng
thanks prema
one word:
SEXY!!!it seriously looks bitchin!
although the font colors might have to be different, cuz they sort of blended in [im talking about all of them], but im sure you know that too :)
also can you shrink the "Team Paradox" so we see it completely?
you are one heck of a photoshopper! ;)
oh hey.. not a problem.. i know youre busy and all… but yeah it would be cool if i could get the changes.. and the second one..maybe if you have time then late tomorrow? or thursday?
EDIT: i emailed my "boss" and she said that it has to be on the inside circle, so you will have to shrink it.
thank you
prema
Sure–but that second pegasus won't look as good because it has less contrast with its background.
