TypoGenerator might create an image of total confusion or a beautiful work of art. We typed in our text Mandarin Design and it created this image. It's a fun tool where you continue to click TRY AGAIN until it renders an image that you like. The image is always 400 x 300 pixels.
The image is 400 x 300. We can resize it in a tool like Adobe and maintain the aspect ratio or just tell the browser the size we want our Logo to display.

That's pure colored text. No graphics required. Copy the code then change the words and colors to suit your style.
It's easy to make your own banner without any graphic tools. This one will stretch or shrink to fit in your space. You will need to pick up a spare picture or two and we have plenty to share in the gallery. Size doesn't matter. One image can be big while the other is small. The images are used for the background and automatically repeat or crop to fit in the defined space.
Things you can change
The banner will automatically adjust to 98% the width of the space it is in. We made the height 50 pixels with a font size of 42 pixels, but you can change the code.
We used two pictures for the background with white text and a black border. Change it to any named color (red, orange, yellow, blue, pink, and black work well).

The Scribbler lets you scribble then start coloring. We aren't artists but you might be able to get this one to do what you want it to do. It's free and fun.
We were going to demonstrate how to overlay your text over the image using CSS Style. But, we accidentally overlayed an image over the image and text over that image. The mistake has potential.
