You’ve been doing an awesome job with these! Just wanted to pass along a few tips here:

Image → Trim → Transparent helps cut out any extra transparent pixels. This makes a big difference in Big Box, especially when your logo is displayed alongside others.

The Fill tool is great for reducing unnecessary colors. In the example here, you can see how the black is now consistent across the entire logo.

When the edges of a logo look a bit discolored, there are a few easy fixes:

If the edge is one solid color, a quick Layer Style → Stroke → Inside usually does the trick.

If the edge has gradients or patterns, try Layer → Defringe, it often cleans things up nicely.

And if anything still looks off, you can always touch it up with the Smudge or Paint tools.

Lastly, when you're upscaling, try to avoid working with transparent images. The edges tend to get fuzzy. It's usually best to upscale first, then cut out the transparency afterward. If your best source is transparent, then put a contrasting color as the background then try.

Thanks for the tips WoodysrZ.
I will take up some of them. (minus the ones I already practice, upscaling for example I never do on transparent images.)

I can't find any decent version of this front cover. So I hope this one I already 3/4 made and now completed will suffice.
