Personally, I use Photoshop. Its some obsure version of Photoshop 2 that isn't really PS 2 but something just before it became Photoshop CS series. Anyway, Here is what I do:
1) I go to Jetabout. (freewebs.com/jetabout). Under the templates section of his website, you can find some common airliners. The list certainly isn't complete, but it works. Use the Fokker 50 template for F27's, btw.
2) I open Photoshop, and paint the non-detailed parts of the airliner, say, if I wanted the plane light blue or gray, The fuselage gets painted that way. I also color the engines if its needed for the scheme. Once that is done, i duplicate the layer so I can have one layer that I use as a transparency for airline names, logos, decals ect.
3) I make the logos, decals, ect in Photoshop and add them to the plane. I send the respective layers to the back and delete the colors on the duplicate copy layer so they show through. This way, the places that you want to remain colored (components, ect) don't seem "overlapped."
4) I create the logo and add it to the top of the canvas, and its done.
I can make you a livery/ logo. You can see my latest examples on the last few pages of the liveres thread in this forum. I'd need your airline name, some corny tagline if you want it, colors/preferred logo style, ect. A link to your AM airline would also be good to see for fleet selection.Thats it
