- Create a Beautiful Logo Out Of a Mere Text String -

Shaded is a simple desktop application that lets you create a beautiful logo out of a mere text string. Basically, all you have to do is set a text string to the input field, selecting a font family and selecting a material. And, voila!  


- Features -

1. Store font families that you frequently use in the favorite font list.
2. Selecting a font family will give you a list of available typefaces that comes with it.
3. Cast or not cast a shadow around the logo.
4. Select a material from a list of 40+ materials.
5. Save the logo appearing over the canvas as an image file (BMP, GIF, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PNG, TIFF) to your disk.
6. Save current progress as a document file for this application. Choose Open Document to resume progress from a saved file.
7. Change the background color of the canvas.
8. Set up the shared folder so that you won't be prompted to name a file every time you save the logo as an image file to your disk.
9. Overwrite or not overwrite an existing file in the shared folder. If you turn off the overwrite checkbox, the application will automatically append an underscore + a number to the file name.
