New Logo

// May 16th, 2010 // Comments Off // photoshop, Web Development

I finally got my logo done. Thinking of something to use was the hardest part.

How I did it

  • Once I got the idea for the shuriken made of code I found an image of a shuriken I liked the shape of on the web.
  • Then I used my Wacom tablet to make a selection around it.
  • Created a new file with a transparent background.
  • Copied the selection to the new file.
  • Took a screenshot of my sites code in my favorite editor.
  • Pasted the screenshot onto the background.
  • Created a mask layer revealing the selection.
  • Moved and transformed the background image until I like it’s position.
  • Then added a drop shadow and bevel to the image using layer styles.

Nothing too advanced but I turned out to my liking.
