Hello,
A friend of mine uses Microsoft Photodraw, and Adobe Photoshop. Basically the procedure is get what you want to edit off of the internet (or elsewhere), and save it to your hard drive as a bitmap, or any other photo file. Open up either of the above programs, and using your artistic skills edit the picture. I'm not sure what other information that you wanted programs...etc, but that's about it. I'm sure there are other programs out there, but if you want something professional go with Adobe products.
Take Care.

Hello,
I don't do much editing of pictures...etc, but I think that is correct. If you need more help try submitting another thread, or check around the internet for more information. Sorry I can't help much more. Take Care.

It's just an image so you have to fill in the old text and then add in your own stuff

There are sign generating sites out there like this one http://www.customsigngenerator.com/
probably not exactly what you are looking for but they are fun to use from time to time

Well..I have done this several times myself when i make webpages for people. Lets say you have a "Walmart" logo and you want it to say "Malwort"...LOL. You can either try to match the font with fonts you have installed on your PC, or you can just do a font search in google. I've personaly have found over 300 custom fonts that way. Anyway..just locate the font and match the hieght and width of the other fonts (be sure to do this on a seperate layer, as you will be highlighting and deleting the letters you will no longer need). And if you wanna match the exact color...thats where the eye dropper tool comes in handy. I hope this helps and goodluck.

That is probably the simplest way, finding a font that matches the logo you wish to simulate. Then just block out the text you wish to alter and using that font add your own text.

Yes.......it's very easy and saves tons of work. If I was on my desktop and not my laptop, I'd upload a spoof I did of a "Berry Fresh Massengil box"...LMAO. It's too funny!
