Create a glossy emblem
September 21st, 2009 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Designing
This post will present you how to make a special metallic emblem with flames. Emblems normally look very simple and unique, as its job is to send the impression of your company/product to the reader or customers. Just try to make an emblem for yourself!
Final Image Preview
For the beginning let’s create a new file (File>New) of 1920x1200px/72dpi. Then take the Paint Bucket Tool (G) and fill the new background layer with the color #B2B3B5
Now we have to enter Filter>Noise>Add Noise and choose the next parameters:
We’ll get the next result:
Now enter Filter>Blur>Motion Blur and set the next parameters:
It’s the result we must get:
Press Ctrl+T and stretch out the layer, turning it over.
Select the next parameters for the last made layer:
Now press Ctrl+M and select the next demonstrated parameters:
It’s the result we get for now:
Change now the background’s opacity:
We’ll get the next background:
Now we’ll select the Brush Tool (B) of black color with the next adjustments: Master Diameter – 300 px, Hardness – 0%, Opacity – 100%.
Now we have to choose the Pen Tool (P) to draw a flame, like the next one:
Next we’ll select the Layer Style, make a double left click on this layer on the layers’ panel and set the Blending Options – Inner Glow:
Blending Options – Bevel and Emboss
Blending Options – Gradient Overlay
Gradient Editor
Blending Options – Stroke
Gradient Editor
It’s the flame we’ll get:
Make a copy of the flame Ctrl+J (moving off the copy all the Blending Options parameters) and make some corrections on it with the Direct Selection Tool (A), the same way as in the next image:
Set the layer’s Opacity as in the picture below:
Then apply the Layer Style: Blending Options>Stroke
We’ll get the next result:
Make a copy of the last made layer and correct it by moving off the anchors with the Delete Anchor Point Tool, to get the next result:
Set the next Layer Style:
Blending Options – Inner Shadow
Blending Options – Outer Glow
Blending Options – Bevel and Emboss
Blending Options – Stroke

I think I’ve seen better emblem than this. The tutorial too is a bit complicated for beginners and casual designers. Better luck next time.

The final result is not something I would personally create, yet the tutorial does teach you how to work around layer properties to retrieve a desired affect. Keep it up, and keep posting tutorials!

Great tutorial. You did miss a few steps. And it took me a while to figure it out (I’m new to Photoshop, I used to have Photofiltre), but in the end I did.
The logo looks superb.
