Every time i run
this script in File/Create/Logo mode it runs through the script, throws an error that it has an unbound variable for gimp-image-insert-layer. (which is no where in the script)
Then it creates nothing - until i close Gimp and then a phantom text document with 3 layers pops up!
And it is just a white bg a black layer and a text outline layer.
This is very weird to say the least. :)
Filters/Alpha to logos works nice though - no problems although it does throw that same error it still works and displays new.
Anybody got a clue?
Definitely a cool script; not
Definitely a cool script; not sure why I missed this one. Thanks a heap maj. :)

Error in Gimp 2.6.7
I don't have it under "Create", but under Script-Fu and I get error:
Error while executing script-fu-steel-metal-logo:
Error: eval: unbound variable: spline1
Error in Gimp 2.6.11
I've just installed this script in Gimp 2.6.11 and also let the same error.
I also have in under Script-Fu and Alpha to Logo.
Error under Script-Fu:

Calling error for procedure 'gimp-gradient-get-uniform-samples':

Any help on this would be appreciated.
A tale of strings and languages
Are you perhaps running a non-english version of GIMP? It seems that the script opens with gradients called "Flare Rays Size 1" and "Golden". The error message in your post says it could not find the first gradient. According to http://registry.gimp.org/node/15748, the gradients are called differently in translated versions. If this is indeed what's causing your problem, there's quite a probability that the same solution applies.
I've taken the liberty to link a patched version in which strings referencing to gradients "Flare Rays Size 1" and "Golden" on lines 172, 174, 205 and 207 are replaced by (list-ref (cadr (gimp-gradients-get-list "")) gradientid) where gradientid is 34 for "Flare Rays Size 1" and 43 for "Golden". These numbers will probably need to be changed when the list of gradients is changed, as those numbers are the indexes of the gradients in the gradient list. Either way, as long as you have more than 43 gradients, the script should now be able to open its dialog. Let me know if it works! :)
Not sure why you are having
Not sure why you are having problems. I too have GIMP 2.6.11 and it works fine for me; this one is a pretty good substitue for Photoshop Styles by the way. Very cool indeed. :)
