In this tutorial I am going to teach you an awesome way of making a cool green logo.
Step 1
To start off with create a new document (500 by 400 pixels - File > New) and using the Linear Gradient Tool make a green gradient from the top left to the bottom right. The colours that I have chosen are #445e00 for the dark green and #688a02 for the light green colour.
Step 2
Now we are going to be making the basic shape for the logo so create a new layer (Layer > New > Layer) and make a selection like below and fill with white.
Now because the plain white thing looks very boring we are going to add some layer style...
Layer > Layer Style > Outer Glow
Layer > Layer Style > Inner Glow
Layer > Layer Style > Satin
Your logo should now be looking something like:
Now we will be adding the text, so using the Text Tool chuck in the title of your site.
Duplicate your layer styles from your logo layer to your text layer, but remove the inner glow one.
Lastly we are just going to be adding a quick reflection to our text, so just duplicate the text layer and go Edit > Transform > Flip Verticle. Now lower the opacity of the layer down to 20% and you are complete!! Woo ;)
Step 3
Next up, move the selection down a bit and to the right, now hit delete. Now you should have something like below.
Step 4
Now because the plain white thing looks very boring we are going to add some layer style...
Layer > Layer Style > Outer Glow
Layer > Layer Style > Inner Glow
Layer > Layer Style > Satin
Your logo should now be looking something like:
Step 5
Now we will be adding the text, so using the Text Tool chuck in the title of your site.
Step 6
Duplicate your layer styles from your logo layer to your text layer, but remove the inner glow one.
Step 7
Lastly we are just going to be adding a quick reflection to our text, so just duplicate the text layer and go Edit > Transform > Flip Verticle. Now lower the opacity of the layer down to 20% and you are complete!! Woo ;)
