Create a glossy emblem
September 21st, 2009 by ART-D Posted in Adobe Photoshop, Designing
One flame is made up. Now we must combine in a group all the layers composing the flame (press Ctrl button to mark out the necessary layers and hold on the left mouse’s button while moving the marked layers on Create a new group option)
Make a copy of this group and turn it over by horizontal position (Ctrl+T, changing the gradient’s direction of the flame’s color)
Applying the Ellipse Tool (U), try to represent a circle, placing it under the layers containing the flame:
Set the Fill parameter on 0% and choose the next indicated Layer Style:
Blending Options – Stroke
Gradient Editor
It’s the result we’ll get:
Make a copy of this new made circle, making the copy smaller (Ctrl+T) and placing it above all the layers:
Let’s represent one more circle under the layer containing the first circle’s copy and apply to it the next Blending Options>Pattern Overlay. Choose the appropriate texture in the Patterns library.
Create one more new layer, marking it out both with the grid’s layer, using Shift+left mouse click and then put them together Ctrl+E. The new got layer will be turned over, applying Ctrl+T.
… and then Blending Options>Inner Glow.
It’s the result we’ll get:
Use now the Pen Tool (P) to represent a lightning:
Set the next parameters for Layer Style:
Blending Options – Drop Shadow
Blending Options – Outer Glow
Blending Options – Inner Glow
Blending Options – Gradient Overlay
Blending Options – Stroke
Gradient Editor
Now it’s time to insert the last element:
Create one more half of the lightning with Pen Tool (P):
… setting the next Layer Style for it:
Blending Options – Inner Shadow
Blending Options – Outer Glow
Blending Options – Inner Glow
Blending Options – Bevel and Emboss
Blending Options – Stroke
The final result!

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.
