Logos Guide: Creating Standard FM08 Logos

First obtain the action file from here if you don't already have it.

1. To open the action file just drag and drop it into Photoshop, whilst Photoshop is open.

2. Next you’ll need to pick somewhere to save the created graphics to on your Hard Drive, I’d select somewhere that can easily be found.

3. Once you have picked a location, create four new folders and call them background_left, background_right, normal and small. One for each type of logo. (For FM08 the huge and normal logos are from the same image, but with different config files).

4. Now you’ll need to edit the action file so that the export location corresponds to your chosen location.

5. First open any image in Photoshop, something small but it’s not important what.

10. Now to run the action, open an image in Photoshop, select the action and tick the green arrow at the bottom of the actions panel.

11. Alternatively if you have a complete folder that you want processing goto File -> Automate -> Batch. Under Set select FM08-standard and under Action select the action you want to perform. Under Source select Folder (unless you have opened all the images you want), then select Choose and browse to folder that the logos are located in. Select OK to run the action. Now just wait for the action to finish.

12. After the action has finished, browse through the completed logos to make sure they turned out fine.

13. For any image that is wider than it is tall you’ll have to run the Wide Action after running the All_standard action to replace the Normal and Small logos. (You don’t need to replace the background logos).

14. And that’s it, now all you need to do is make the config files, and put them into you User Data Folder.
