Logo Design

Step 1

Step 4
Now press CTRL + J to duplicate this layer.
Go to "Edit->Transform->Flip Horizontally".

Press 'V' on your keyboard to get out the move tool, and nudge the duplicate layer over as l've done in this image:


Step 5
Next we'll add some text to it. Set your foreground color to white (#B4B4B4). Get out the text tool, and pick a nice thick font that you like.


Double click this layer and apply the following blending options:
Drop Shadow:


Bevel & Emboss:


Satin:


Gradient Overlay:




Stroke:
