In this lesson I’ m going to create a professional logo using Adobe Photoshop.

So start by creating a high resolution document.

Then using the Ellipse Tool, create several circles ? flipping between white and red color. I’ve created 5.

Align the layers using Grid:

If you are satisfied with results just merge down the entire circles layer.

When you have one separate layer use layer stiles on it.

After that select a color range ? grays the are lighten.

Something like this. Layer via copy and overlay the new layer with white color.

Layer positions:

And result:

The areas have become more lighten.

Link the layers and merge them down (using merge Linked command).

Now I want to write something down on the path. You can actually transform the text using path.

So create one ? using Line Tool.

Then just transform it a little bit and write something on it ? I want to write ? TOP 1000– the name of the logo.

Copy the text layer, carefully watch the layer position (top).

Use the following layer blending setting, LAYER 1000:

LAYER TOP 1.0.0.0 copy:

Select the area on the background and just fill it with black and maybe several gradients. And crop it.

A fresco filter can do wonders! Play with settings:

Do a little copy paste manipulation and we have an amazing background effect.

And we are done here:
