Expert Hazir :P
first of all CMYK mode does not support bright colors. and there are lot of limitations in CMYK. This is why Logo is developed in CMYK mode. So that it can be printed in anywhere. Its because Press printers are not so smart as desktop color printer or monitor. So you have to be very careful while you design a logo, which will be used for marketing purposes later. All of the colors above will be dull while you convert it into CMYK.

Your colors in the above will look like this while converted in CMYK:

So my suggestion for all is Design logo in Illustrator in CMYK mode. It will easier your life if you think about marketing/printing :)

If you again want to take the risk by choosing RGB for printing just be careful about the notification in Color Palette box. for detail please read this: http://www.distortedesigners.com/forum/ ... f=67&t=724

Thanks

ya you are right....like Iron Maiden or other bands' t-shirt / poster artworks are designed in Photoshop but in CMYK mode. CMYK page nile khub bright/fluorescent color gula pawa jayna, but kacha kachi kichu ekta pawa jay....

ok now fluorescent color :D ei color gula PANTONE theke pawa jay. PANTONE model is used widely used in fabrics industry. Printing eo use hoy. for like golden/silver effect you have to use Pantone. ekhaneo kicu idea pete paren :) http://www.distortedesigners.com/forum/ ... ?f=71&t=28

onek jhamela...hahahahaha...

ya Illustrator sucks, but for me it works :D

Start designing in Illustrator, I bet you gonna love this.

Ya zakir bhai, if you see the message/icon after choosing any color in CMYK mode, it means that you will not get that color in final output. What you will get in output also showed beside the icon.

As a designer we have to design for both web and printing. Both industries are huge. So as a web designer(generally designer for client) you may asked to design logos for any start up company. If you design logo for them in RGB mode and use photoshop and make it complex then the company will suffer later for their marketing promotions. Exactly what our zakir bhai is facing right now. I also learned by facing these type of problems.

My first lesson(just sharing):
It was in 2003. I designed a leaflet for a hospital in RGB mode. Before print I got a call from printers that I used RGB color. They confirmed me. I didn't understand. I said ok just print :) when it was printed I was shocked. Logo was totally dull. 40,000 leaflets :shock:
here I have shared the design :D
