The Umbrella Corporation is a fictional bioengineering pharmaceutical company appearing in the Resident Evil series of survival horror games by Capcom and in its film adaptions. In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial we will create Umbrella Corporation logo.

For the beginning create a new file (File>New) of 1280×1024 px and 72 dpi. Using the Paint Bucket Tool (G), fill the new layer with black color.



Next we’ll represent a kind of geometrical figure, like the next one, applying the Pen Tool (P).



Make several copies of the last made element, placing the copies the way you may see below. The copies may be done, pressing the combination of buttons (Ctrl+J). The turning over and the elements’ corrections may be done with (Ctrl+T).



Changing the color of four figures, we’ll get an umbrella.



Set the next shown parameters for each element, making a mouse click on the layer in layers’ palette (Blending Options>Inner Glow).

Blending Options>Stroke



You should get the next result:



Change the Blending Options>Stroke parameter on the white color on four next shown figures:



Create a new layer and fill it with black color. Select also Filter>Render>Clouds



Select now Filter> Sharpen>Unsharp Mask and set the next demonstrated parameters:

Change the Blending Mode with those from below:



It’s the result we’ve got:
