This tutorial will provide you with the basics to create
your own 3D Logo.
Step 1: Open a new document. Create a new
layer. Go to Shape Tool and select custom shape tool. From the
dropdown menu, select the shape of your choice (more shapes can be loaded
by clicking on the dropdown arrow and selecting Load Shapes). For
this example, I chose a Shamrock.
Step 2: Go to Layer/Rasterise/Rasterise Shape. Widen the shape as far as you can on the base
using the perspective tool, then scale accordingly.
Step 3: Double-click on the layer to
bring up layer styles dialog box. Click bevel & emboss (at this
point you can experiment with pattern or gradient overlays etc to make for
a more sophisticated looking logo).
Step 4: Holding down the Alt+Shift Key,
use the up arrow to duplicate and move the shape up - 4 - 6 times (your
preference). When you are happy with what you have, turn off the eye
to the background layer and merge all the shape layers.
Step 5: Now you are ready to add your text.
Select the Text Tool and and type in the name to be assigned to your logo.
(Remember if you want to use any patterns or gradients on the text, you
should select a chunky text). You also need to rasterise your text
layer to use the perspective tool.
At this point you need to decide whether you want to leave your text as
is or following the same procedures we did for the shape part above.
You also need to near in mind how small you want your logo to be (a lot of
text does not size and remain clearly visible). Here are a couple of variations
among the many possibilities!
