Sandy’s Great Graphic Find: CoolText

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 9:16 am

Create Logos and Buttons with CoolText Graphics Generator

Great Find: CoolText

Permalink: http://cooltext.com/

Target Audience: Computer users who want to create buttons

Content: Every now and then I need a button. Sure, I have all the programs to create my own, but why spend the time when there are tools out there that can finish the job quickly.

There are a lot of button generators, but this one caught my attention because it worked so well. Recently a few people told me the ‘hire me’ on my site doesn’t look like a link, so it seemed like a good time to try out CoolText. Here’s what I created.


Hire Purple Wren



Then check out the logo designs. I’m not crazy about the terminology and would prefer banner, or something more descriptive. But it doesn’t really matter what they call them, there’s a great selection. Remember to save the image files on your computer because they don’t store them.

It took longer to write this post than to create the buttons/banners.

Joy



Here are six things I like about CoolText:

  1. You can create an account to save your designs
  2. There’s more than 1200 fonts available
  3. It’s easy to use
  4. You can edit your button until it’s just right
  5. There are several file types to choose from
  6. It’s free!

Let me know how you use CoolText!

See you next time!

    :) I read your recent article on problogger. I am pretty sure I will be a regular visitor to your blog now. Since, I am a new blogger (aspiring to be like urs), blogs like yours are relly useful to me. Keep it coming. Thanks.

    I don’t know why, this is the second time in two days, I happened to come across your website.

    Yesterday it was for some 800+ Wordpress templates and now, a click through from Pro Blogger’s Blog.

    I guess I’ll have to bookmark and be a regular visitor to your web log, because there’s always something to learn in here.

    Allan.
