Here’s a light one to make a logo similar to that of Google.

Required: Catull Font, the official Google font. I don’t have the exact Catull font so I used Catull BQ. If you don’t have that, you can use Book Antiqua.

Step 1: Create a new document with a white background, any size. Type a name or logo, whatever.

Step 2: Select each letter of the Logo and give them colour properties of:

Letter 1: #3364C3
2: #F31903
3: #F7D727
4: #3364C3
5: #44C406
6: #F31903
[If you have more letters in your logo, just repeat the whole order]

Step 3: Go to Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options. Give the following settings for “Drop Shadow� and “Bevel and Emboss�
*img300.echo.cx/img300/3046/google12ej.gif

*img300.echo.cx/img300/3778/google28ue.gif

Step 4: Take your Horizontal Type Tool again and type the word “TM� with the font Times New Roman. Also, type a small little slogan below the logo with the Arial Font. Change the Opacities of the “TM� and “Slogan� layers to around 40% and 60% respectively.

You’re done!

It seems distorted because I am not a very big Photoshop Expert.

How to do font Smoothing?

Do you think Goobimama has a trademark?

Thanks for all the comments folks.

Anyway, I think Navjotsingh isn't using the right font. Its very thick(bold?). Also, the letters are very closely spaced. try and space them out...Actually, try and get the official google font....catull.

Do you think Goobimama has a trademark?
and no, goobimama isn't a trademark (might soon be though..)
