I want to know how to create a logo similar to this. Can anyone post a tutorial that teaches how to make a metallic effect similar to the one below. I also want to know how the gradient around the pen work was achieved and most of all how they managed to place the purple circle in such a manner. I want full originality and do not want to use any sample brushes or patterns... rather, if there need be any, I wan't to know how to purely make them myself:D

Please if anyone knows post clear detailed instructions with step-by-step pictures.



I do hope to see assistance from all of you skillful photoshoppers Open Mouth Smile

This video is an indication of how many steps are involved in making this type of logo.

Here is a much simpler version which should help you.

Crumbs! the music hit me like a brick in the face (forgot I had speakers in), however...

Well nailed! to put it succinctly :)

Great advice. With the information Auieos has given you and a little more you can garner from the net, such as 'gel buttons', 'liquid gel', you won't go far wrong.

I managed to complete the second tut. Thanks for sending me the link. It's not perfect but I was using Cs5, and some styles were coming out a tince differently. I mainly wanted to know how to get that cut through the circle. Managed to pull it off. Now I just need to learn how to get a more realistic metallic effect:D

I'm using Photoshop Cs5. I enjoyed the second link much better than the first since the first one was a bit to fast and it seemed as though the guy was doing trial and error himself + the software he was using did not look like photoshop.

This is how mine came out:

Good job. As far as the metal effect it almost looks like its reflecting clouds in the first image. You could try using the polar co-ordinates or radial blur filter to get a circular cloud pattern to place on top.

Also you can always check out things like how to make a chrome ball etc to get a grip on the individual parts of the overall design. Good luck with it.

Thanks for the tip. I tried my own style after learning the tutorial in the previous. I came up with this:



Please give your feedback, greatly appreciated:D

I hope you guys like it. I decided to make one that was a little different from the odyssey logo. Rather have a slightly hollow hole I decided to put a background behind the ball. I thought it would suit the concept that was in my mind. I just hope it does look a little futuristic. I still need to pick up on more skills.

Nice one, i really like it, reminds me of the start of a life, like an egg i guess, something starting to grow. That scary song with the fetus singing.

You did a good job with changing it enough to make it look unique. Definitely feels much less like the Sony Erickson compared to odysseys version.

Probably the only thing i can fault is the shell with the holes in it looks thin because of no visible edges.

Great job on that one.
