P.S. Don’t delete the path you’ve made with the Ellipse Tool.

Step 4:

Go to PATHS (Window> Paths) and hit the Interrupted Line Circle; so the path circle you’ve made with the Ellipse Tool will transform into a selection area.

Now hit Delete button on your keyboard.

Sathu sathu sathu sathu sathya……Punchnama on YouTube Box Office. Absolutely Free!

As a logo designer, I am frequently asked to make a logo for blog owners. Mostly, blogs have this Web 2.0 styling which is a simple

design, eye-friendly, three-color scheme and WordPress powered websites.

If you paid attention to their logos, you can see what they have in common: glossy, reflected (often) and light-colored text. Actually

it doesn’t take a real gifted artist to create such a logo, so in this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create a nice-looking,

simple, eye-candy logo for your blog in Photoshop.

Thus, before dropping me an email ordering a logo for your blog, try it yourself (hell, am I losing my money here?) just to find out

that you can’t make it better than me.

Open Adobe Photoshop and create a new document (Ctrl+N or File->New). Set width and height to 400 and 100 pixels

respectively. Make resolution 72 pixels/inch, leave the background as white. Note: these size and resolution settings are

only web-friendly. For printing, use a higher resolution (like 300 pixels/inch).

Using the Type tool, choose a clear, rounded font like Arial, set the size to 60 and type some text (i.e. your blog’s title).

Set the color to sky-blue (hex code: #0099cc):

Right-click on your text layer, select Blending options and set as shown on screenshots below:

(Drop Shadow: Structure: Blend Mode - Multiply, Opacity- 61%, Angle – 120, Distance – 5, Spread – 0, Size – 5;

Stroke: Structure: Size – 3, Position – Outside, Blend Mode – Normal.)

Click OK. Here’s what you must have came up with:

Almost done. In the next step, we will add a glossy effect to the text.

Ctrl+click on your text layer to choose the text only:

Create a new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N or Layer->New Layer->OK).

Using Paint Bucket tool , fill the selection with white color:

Deselect (Ctrl+D) and with the Elliptical Marquee tool make a selection as below:

Now we need to invert the selection. For that, press Ctrl+Shift+I or right-click over the selection and choose Select

Inverse. Press Delete and deselect:

Set the opacity of this layer to 32:

Take a look at your now-glossy blog title:

Let’s add some keywords under the title. Using the same font, size 12 and light-grey color (hex code: #b0b0b0), type

something like I did “Internet. Life. Future.” (I don’t know why, just from the top of my head, you use yours of course)

just under the main text:
