Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV. This is Part 2 of my tutorial showing how
to create own, cool-looking, vintage, vehicle logo.
Picking up from where we left off,
reduce the Fill of your logo to 0%. Making the Fill 0 makes the logo invisible, but will retain
the visibility of all the effects that we'll be adding to it. Double-click on the thumbnail
of your logo to open its Layer Style window. Click Gradient Overlay and change the Blend
Mode to Color Dodge. If your gradient bar isn't black to white, open your gradient presets
and click the black white thumbnail. The Style is Linear. Make the Angle: 90 degrees and
drag the Scale slider all the way to the right. Click Bevel & Emboss. The Style is Inner Bevel
and the Technique is Smooth. Make the Depth: 20%, the Direction: Up and the Size: 7 pixels.
Soften is 0. Uncheck Global Light. Make the Angle: 135 degrees and the Altitude: 37 degrees.
Open the Gloss Contour presets and click the double-ring thumbnail. Make the Highlight
opacity:35% and the Shadow opacity: 100%. Click "Contour". Open the presets and click
the half-round thumbnail. Change the Range to 33%. Click Inner Glow. Change the Blend
Mode to Linear Dodge and slide the opacity to 100%. Click the color box and pick a medium
color that compliments the color of your vehicle. I'll type in a medium blue: 3B8FED. Then click
OK or press Enter or Return. Make the Choke: 80% and the Size: 6 pixels. Click Stroke.
Make the Size: 1 pixel, the Position: Outside and the Blend Mode: Screen. Click the color
box and pick a rich color that that fits within the color scheme of your logo. For mine, I'll
type in 1858FC. Click Drop Shadow. Change its Blend Mode to Normal and click the color
box. Pick a very dark shade of your color. I'll type in: 010103.
Make the Opacity: 100%.
Uncheck Global Light and make the Angle 90 degrees. The Distance is 5 pixels, the
Spread is 100% and the Size is 10 pixels. Then, click OK. Next, we'll add a soft drop
shadow. Make a copy of your logo by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J. Hide all the effects except
Drop Shadow. Double-click Drop Shadow to see it in the Layer Style window. Change its Blend
Mode to Multiply and reduce its opacity to 25%. Make the Distance: 24 pixels, the Spread:
18% and the Size: 18 pixels. Then, click OK. Next, we'll add a reflection on the middle
of the logo. Click the New Layer icon to make a new layer. Ctrl-click or Cmd-click on the
thumbnail of the logo to make a selection of the inside of its shape. Go to Select,
Modify and Contract. Contract it 6 pixels and click OK or press Enter or Return.
Press "Q" to make the selection into a quick mask. Open your Pen Tool. We'll create an arc path
like you did earlier. Click to the left of your logo approximately a third of the way
up from its bottom. Release your cursor, go to the right of your logo and press and hold
Shift as you left-click to make a horizontal path. Release your cursor and go to the middle.
Press and hold Alt or Option as you left-click to add an anchor point. Then, press and hold
Ctrl or Cmd as you drag the anchor point up approximately this much. Complete the work
path surrounding the bottom of your logo. Right-click directly on the path and click
"Make selection". We don't want to feather it, so type in 0 pixels.
Press Ctrl or Cmd + Delete
to fill it with the background color, which is black and then press "Q" again to
make the quick mask back into a selection. Press "B" to open your Brush Tool and increase
its opacity to 100%. Reduce the brush size by pressing the left bracket key on your keyboard.
Keep your brush mostly below the selection and brush across your logo. Then, deselect it.
Reduce its opacity to 70%. The last step is to add a lens flare. To do this, first,
make a composite snapshot of your image by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E on Windows
or Cmd + Shift + Option + E on a Mac. Then, go to Filter, Render and Lens Flare.
Make the Brightness: 80% and the Lens Type: 50-300mm Zoom. Drag the lens flare to a point on the
top of your logo that's vertically aligned with the sunset. If you're using a different
background, drag the lens flare to any point that looks good to you.
Then, click OK or press Enter or Return.
