Hi,
I am trying to create a radar type effect that will start from the bottom of our logo and gradually get bigger and fade. Any idea?
Thanks for the help
Mark. |

I usually think of a radar effect as a circular sweeping line from a central point, so I'm not sure what you mean.
Could you post your logo? |

Hi,
I have posted our logo. I am trying to get circles coming from the dot of the question mark. They should start small and get bigger, they should also fade as they get bigger. Not sure if I"m getting the message across well...? I want it to look like a signal coming from the dot.

Hey there, kalkm.
Don't know much about Pohotshop but I want to tell you my idea 
You can make selections of a circle with the marquee tool
then make a stroke, and later on add outter glow to the layer that will make it look smoother, etc..
and to make it "symmterical" you can use the Fixed Size thing, and gradually make the size bigger, say start with 50x50 and move on to 65x65, etc.
Hope you make it  |

i spent about an hour last night making a radar its actually quite easy....you need to use mostly gradients. The rainbow circle gradient from the special effects gradient is good for this. heres what i came up with.
