It’s a dog’s world…

dog_02 A while back one of our readers had requested some new 125 x 125 cards that had dog images on them. As you may have guessed, I have finally got around to these and the new 125 cards that have been added to the gallery is all about dogs :)

I’m actually short of animal images, so if you would like to contribute your own images that you would like for us to include into our free gallery, feel free to contact us using our contact form and we will provide you with the instructions. You can also donate any image/s that you feel that our gallery is lacking and we will review them, so that everyone has a variety of cards to choose from to create their own free logo.

Just be aware, if you would like to donate your images, we will acknowledge that the images are from you (that’s why it’s important you provide us with your name and website url when you send us the image/s), but we do need to watermark them so that they display with the same consistency as all the other 125 x 125 card images that’s already in our gallery. Thanks in advance to those of you who do help out.

Search by colour or tags

Just a little reminder to all our visitors using the free125cards gallery, that we have actually moved the ability to search by: colour or tag descriptions to the top section of each page.

search by

In this way, it will be more visible for all our users in case they want to search for a particular 125 x 125 pixel card by: colour or tag description. Otherwise, if these options do not suit you, there is still the ability to also select your 125 card from the gallery pages. We have also ensured the following:

1. Home - The “Home” tab when selected will display 125 x 125 pixel card images randomly. When you go through the next or previous pages from this screen it will continue to display random 125 card images as each page loads.

2. Popular - The “Popular” tab when selected will display 125 x 125 pixel card images that have been clicked on the most by other people. As a suggestion, if you wish to use a more unique 125 x 125 card for a logo, do not select or personalize card from this list as a lot of other people may be using it to promote their blog/website. There are over 300 cards to choose from in our gallery, so find one that is unique for you. Additionally, we are constantly adding new 125 x 125 pixel card images to our gallery, so be sure to come back and check out what has been added by going into the “New” tab.

3. New - The “New” tab when selected will display 125 x 125 pixel card images that have been recently added to the gallery. When you go through the next or previous pages from this screen it will show you all the cards that have in the gallery in the order they have been added. Therefore, if you really want to see ALL 125 x 125 pixel images in the gallery, this is the tab that you need to use.

4. Colour Search - By selecting one of the colour palletes, it will take you to a page that will show you a list of 125 card images that have been tagged with that particular colour. When you go through the next or previous pages from this screen it will continue to display random 125 card images as each page loads.

5. Tag Search - By selecting one of the tag description, it will take you to a page that will show you a list of 125 card images that have had that particular description tagged against that specific card image. When you go through the next or previous pages from this screen it will continue to display random 125 card images as each page loads.

Here’s hoping the different searches you have available will allow you to find that 125 x 125 pixel card you are looking for so you can give it your personal touch to help you create a really nice logo for your website/blog.

As you may know, I had recently completed new 125 x 125 pixel cards for the flower series. However, after coming back from a brief holiday break recently and going through some of my photographs, I actually have a few more flower images which I wish to share with all of you. I promise, these will be the last flower images you will see for a while - I will move on and create a different theme when I release the next new 125 x 125 card images! :)

Part 1 series: 125 x 125 Flower images

I absolutely love looking at flowers in the garden or in pictures…and ofcourse, I love having fresh flowers in the house. The new 125 x 125 pixel images will be dedicated to showcase the best from the many floral photographs we have taken so far from a variety of places.

fresh_flowers_12

There were so many flower images to choose from, as a result I will publish these images in a two part series. This first part, will display floral and bulb images that were taken at the Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens. This vast and beautiful botanic garden is located in an altitude of over 1000 metres in the upper Blue Mountains in New South Wales (Sydney) Australia. It was opened to the public in 1987 to house over 5000 species of plants from the cooler parts of the world.

The day we visited the Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens it was filled with sunshine. Although the garden is already splendid, the sunshine that basked over it really brought out it’s beauty every angle that you looked at. There is also a nice restaurant that is located within the garden. With the amount of walking that you end up doing, it’s great that you can have a little rest, grab a coffee or a wonderful meal while at the same time being able to admire the expansive and stunning views of the gardens from the restaurant window. It’s certainly worth a visit if you are ever in Sydney.

I’ll let you judge the beauty of the floral images by having a look at some of the new 125 x 125 images below.

Now be warned, as much as I love flowers, I’m certainly not an expert on their names - so advance apologies!

May these flower images inspire you to create a new logo or personalize a new 125 card…Happy flower day!

Free logo creator

According to Wikipedia, the term “Logos” is a significant term used in philosophy, analytical psychology, rhetoric and religion. It can mean to: count, tell, say, or speak.

In modern times with the advent of the internet and websites/blogs, a logo can be used to represent your business, website/blog or something you wish to promote to get the attention of your visitors.

I have seen many free logo creators on line. Some have a lot more font types and colours to choose from. They also allow you to choose from a variety of images and then you can personalize these logo images yourself.

From testing out these other sites, I can see that they serve a certain purpose. However, I found some of them take a little while to load the images and are a little complex to use. I have also noticed that a lot of free logo creator sites only offer a limited number of logo images to choose from. To access more images or have a more personalized logo image a fee is generally attached.

Althought at free125cards, we specialize specifically on 125 x 125 pixel images, we aim to continue to offer this free service and provide our visitors with a wide variety of logo images that they can select from, so they can create their own personalize logo.

Today, I have added 19 new 125 card images entitled ‘Blur‘. Basically, these new logo images were created using a plain background and adding a second layer of swirled designs. The second layer was then lightened and then different filters were applied over each logo image such as brush strokes, blur motion and distortions using the Photoshop application to produce many different effects.

Some examples are shown below, I hope you enjoy these!

Logo image 1: This is a red 125 x 125 pixel image. Blur motion and lighting render filters was applied over this logo image in photoshop to obtain this effect.

Logo image 2: This is a black 125 x 125 pixel image. Blur motion and twirl distortion filters was applied over this logo image in photoshop to obtain this effect.

Logo image 3: This is an orange 125 x 125 pixel image. Blur motion and ripple distortion filters was applied over this logo image in photoshop to obtain this effect.

I’ve also personalized some of the new 125 cards that I’ve recently added. The one in red below, is to support my favourite AFL team (The Sydney Swans), the second personalized card in green just shows the current sentiment of being environmentally aware to help save our planet and the pink card attempts to represent keeping an eye on new fashion trends :)
