Creating a nice green logo

Creating a nice green logo

In this tutorial I will show you how to create a nice green logo

Start off by creating a new 400px x 400px document. Create a new layer and fill it with 292929.

Using the rectangle tool first create a white rectangle then using 838d12 create another rectangle inside our just made one. You should have something like this:

Apply the next settings to the green rectangle:

Using the type tool type a text and apply our style used at the rectangle, you should get this:

Ctrl + Click on the white rectangle (in the layers palette) to make a selection of it. With ellipse marquee tool set to Intersect with selection make a selection over the rectangle and create a new layer and fill it with white. Lower the opacity to 15%. Repeat this to have more and more shiny spots. I made this:

Marge the layers beginning with the white rectangle to our shiny spots into only one layer. Duplicate this layer. Go to Edit > Transform > Flip vertical. Move this second logo down as in the image below:

Apply the next layer settings to the reflection:

Lower the opacity to 34%

The result:
