I am trying to design a logo/image for my site but I have zero knowledge of anything graphics-related. I have the Mac program Pixelmator but don't know how to use it. I don't have Photoshop. I am trying to make something that looks like The Wall Street Journal newspaper's logo but that says "The Fight Journal". Here is what that logo looks like:

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

first try to find the same font. Acid fonts and 1001 free fonts have alot to offer. when you find it put in your windows/fonts folder then your good to go.

Thanks. I'll do that. I have no idea how to use Illustrator. Any sites you would recommend with good tutorials or tips?
