The creation of the new Mixx logo.

I also decided to re-create the Mixx logo as I felt it was to plain to represent the station. I used www.dafont.com to chose a more suitable font I went with: Lemondrop. The first thing I did was create a background gradient I used pink and purple colours as i feel they best represented they style of the station.

I then used the stroke tool to have the letters contrast with the background. Were the back ground faded from pink to purple i used the stroke tool to put purple around the edge of the letters in the pink section and pink around the letters in the purple section.

to follow the theme of the Buzz logo i made the 3rd letter white and decided this would also look good with a contrasting boarder to the back ground so i used the stroke tool to make the edge of the X black.

The word Mixx makes me think of something being swirled together so i decided to use the brush tool to draw a swirl across the lettering, then to make the swirl look like it was weaving in and out of the lettering, i used the eraser tool to achieve this affect by rubbing out the lines over lettering at certain points. i then used an affect called outer glow to make the swirl stand out in a neon green kind of colour to symbolise the party style this station represents.
