    I am officially giving up on my monogram and would completely utterly appreciate some help or suggestions. My new last name initial will be an O which seems like an impossible letter to make a unique tiffany themed monogram. Or maybe I have reached my creative limits.

    Any help or suggestions

    What do you mean by Tiffany themed? Just the color, or are you trying to add some graphic element too? Are you just looking for a nice "O"?

    I am looking to combine a Tiffany Element with a nice O, with our intials. I had started and just can't seem to get it right, I created a box and painted it blue and added the ribbon, I have the ribbon stretched out at the top so it doesn't turn into a bow, but that the top of the ribbon is our names, so the O should be the tie per say ( if that makes sense) but I am having horrible luck putting it together.

    So I am looking to trysomething new.

    I did this one quick while I'm in a lull at work. I had to use powerpoint since I don't have access to other design programs on my own computer here, but this is a standard simple monogram. I just saw your description above which I could try to work with at home a bit, but I thought I'd throw out this one for you too. I saw your website said Bobby, so I just put Robert if you're going to be formal. Also, I put in my own wedding date since you didn't have one listed :) Use a tiffany blue on the O and then the dots in the date are reminiscent of the period after the Co. in Tiffany & Co. Also, it would use the same font as the Tiffany & Co. logo, but I don't have that on this machine.

    That's actually really pretty, oh and I think my Page might be confusing, his middle name is Bobby, which is what he goes by, but his first name is Noble. You did that one in powerpoint?

    I am consistently amazed at how creative, talented and helpful everyone on this site is. 

    Alli: you just created that during a lull at work?  It is beautiful -- very elegantic and classic!

    Sorry about getting the name wrong!  Noble's a cool name!  I did that one in powerpoint, but I have illustrator, photoshop, and indesign on my home computer. If you would like it in any one of those formats I can do that for you.  Just message me or let me know and I'd be glad to help out!

    Heather- WOW! you are one creative person. I ended up paying a company to make mine and they're still not exactly what I want but, I gave up making mine long ago.

    Hi folks, sorry I am just getting on here ( I have been missing my addiction to Weddingbee) So I am back in action. Heather Lynn, those are beautiful!

    Here is my general question, are you all using illistrator and publisher which is the best program to use to create some of these.

     

    Alli and HeatherLynn you guys are amazzzingggg!!!

    dmitchell08 - I used Adobe InDesign to create the logos, however it's usually better to do these sorts of things in Illustrator. I don't have Illustrator here at work, only InDesign and photoshop (I do have Illustrator at home though). If you only have powerpoint available to you, you could probably still create these with that program, although the logo with the curved text might be tricky. If you like any of these that I did for you, I'd be willing to give you the correct file type, I'm happy to help out at least one bride :-) Or, you could check out etsy, there are a bunch of designers there who will create custom monograms and I dont think they charge too much.
