Cutting Logo And Recreate With Psd

Hey all. I'm trying to recreate the blur effects of the logo(s) used for the Tate Modern.

The logos:






The topic has been discussed befo
http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.c...o-in-photoshop

One of the solutions suggests using gradient masks, feathering and adjusting the curves. This works but falls short of achieving the more exaggerated effect of for instance the last two photo I've posted above. Are there other things I can do to bloat/obscure the shape of the letters? I also want them to still look like there going in/out of focus.

In addition I've had trouble with the gradient masks:



As you may be able to see, part of the text (diagonally across the middle) is masked over slightly. The idea was to create two complementing gradient masks so one masks over the top left one layer, one masks over the bottom right of one layer so when the layers are placed on top of each other it creates one seamless, solid color. I thought I could do this by copying the gradient mask of the first layer, moving it to the second layer and inverting the colors, but as you can see a grey area appears, where the two fading gradient masks seem to overlap. Here is the text with the gradient masks disabled:



Also the original typeface they used is supposedly VAG Rounded.

Thank you so much for your time!

Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Darko, I'm from small country in Europe Montenegro. I have a passion for sports, mobile phone's and graphic design. I'm 21 years old and I'm studying telecommunications.

This year I'm planning to open my own gym for material arts (ju jitsu, judo, bjj, sambo, grappling, Judo and karate). I have black belt in judo and I'm grappling and sambo instructor.

I'm here because I want to design professional logo for my gym, something to be proud on and it represents me and my personality. I'm very bad at drawing, but I've found some designs from which I want to take some stuff. (Create it myself no direct copying).
I have general idea how I wish my logo to look like. As for now I'm not decided for the name, but that doesn't really play huge role yet.
I know I want my logo to be in circular form like this ones:









So I need some pointers how to make a circle like that. I think it looks very neat with border around it, what do you guys think?

As far as the inside of the circle go I'm thinking of leaving it blank for a logo on witch I'm not decided yet all I know is that I want to have that belt included



Preferred all black with withe letters in Japanese name of the gym on it.. That belt will be in the bottom of the circle and it will be kinda sticking out.. Something like that but a little lover:



Or something similar to that:



As far as font goes I'm pretty much undecided, I like fonts from all of the circle logos, if someone knows the names of the fonts I will be very grateful, if someone has some suggestions for the font I'm totally open to it also.

I want to learn how to do wrestling and judo and bjj mat, so maybe I can make that in logo also







Then there is secondary thing, logo for myself for T-shirt for business cards to represent myself to sponsors and for my personal team, my fans and supporters.. I'm thinking of the same circular logo as those for my club and I really want to include geek glasses like this ones:



And a beard as I have a beard and glasses..



I fund that one on the forum, I have similar beard

The font choice is still the same as for the gym logo..

That's all I have in my head for now.
I want to say I'm not requesting anyone to make something instead of me, because I want to say that I've made my logo myself and be proud on it for the years to come. Neither I have enough money to pay for your brilliant skills.
And I'm no pro in Photoshop I have it for about 5 years and everything I know I've learned myself I'm not a total noob, but comparing to you guys I'm pretty much exactly that. I know it will be hard but with help from you guys i think me/ with you guys can do it ! I will be really happy for any and all the help I can get!

Thank you very much guys.

Hi all

I understand my thread title may not make much sense but i will describe what i want and then go into detail below

1. The background image i want is for a blog, it needs to be a mixture of these colours http://i2.aroq.com/1/aldi-lidl.jpg whatever is easiest for you to do is fine with me but the nearer it is to all those colours the better

2. I want a rectangular logo for the header of blog, could someone please create a logo with the name LIDALD and for the LID part of name try to make it similar to the text of the LIDL logo and for the ALD part of the name try to make it similar to the text of ALDI however if you are unable to achieve this i will appreciate the best you can do even if it just something basic i will like it

The blog is http://lidald.blogspot.co.uk and is a blog i am starting to specialise in reviews for grocery products they sell, it is not a blog i will be making any profit from, it is going to be a hobby where i will post random product reviews in my spare time which i have plenty of

I will appreciate anything you can make for me, and i hope everything i have requested is within the rules

Thank you

Any questions please ask

Hi, I'm currently trying to design a logo for my very own streaming channel. I am having problems merging two pictures together but I don't have Photoshop or any Photoshop knowledge and I would appreciate it very much if anyone could help. I was recommended to come here by a friend who was having similar issues.

I'll attach the two images with an explanation of what I would like it to look like :)

I would like the blue picture to be the main background and the other one to be overlaid over the top with all the gaps to be transparent.
All of the small images have white backgrounds or glow/shadow effects so when I tried transparent effects on Paint, lots of little white dots where surrounding everything and thing with glow like effects still had their glow only in white.

Thank you in advance
Andrew

Hi Guys,
I need help with a Logo and possibly a banner.
Im making a YouTube channel and i'll be posting gaming videos.

I was wondering if anyone here had experience with youtube banners/logos and if they could give me an idea of what i could use
The channel name is the same as my username MasterSpud

I was thinking that the logo could have a potato with some extra features but not sure what they would be

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

Hi, I am an owner of a candy company and I would like to have help cleaning up this logo for use on my website. I would just like to have the logo nice and clean so that it stands out and it very sharp looking.

I would like you to clean up the gold metallic all around and just have the black logo with the gold in the star popping out without all the gold around it. Thanks.

I have the image attached in jpg.
