Creating my Logo

Firstly i opened the program Adobe Fireworks CS5 and then made a new project

 started with a dark black background to keep it simple to an logo, this is my first basic start.

 Secondly i started writing the text of my logo, Specialist Pictures.

 Adding the off word to connect the full outline of the logo.

 Combining them together to create Specialist Pictures Presents.

 Now onto creating the logo, I drew out a circle originally then moved the 4 pins to create different dexterity, changing it into a multiple star circle of difference.

 Then completing the image with the words into a final product.

This is my final and completed logo.
