Colored Circle

I Found this really nice image on the web and i am going to try and re-create it and post the result here .

Ok so as the title says i need a logo for my CSGO (Counter Strike Global Offense) Team. I already have a picture drawn out, but i need the skills of a Photoshop master to make it come to the computer screen. if you can, make at least 3 different styles of the logo. if you cant do 3 different styles that's perfectly fine, i just really need help making this on the computer. Here is the Logo that i have drawn and would like to be made.



As an extra note. if at all possible i would like for the hawk to be colored with blue and white and the eye be black. But as i said above if you can do 3 different styles of the hawk with the words " Team Pantheon" added to it, that would be great and i would be greatly appreciative of it. Now for the background, i really don't care if its just the hawk itself, but if you think it would look better with a shield or a hexagon or a circle in the back then go ahead. I only provided the drawing (i would really like to see your guys' creativity as well since i have non when it comes to Photoshop).

I would like to see what you can do with it. i would like the words "Team Pantheon" to be put into the logo somehow but don't make it too big. here are some examples to reference to if you need to



If you do decide to help me out, just post a response either saying you will do it and we can exchange contact. or just re post the finished product here.

Probably a bad subject title so let me explain what I am trying to do.

I have a very basic image (screenshot 1). Trust me, this is not an exercise but similar to the image I will be using,ha!

I select each white circle and using smart erase I can erase each circle (screenshot 2) but I want a feathered/gradient effect like (screenshot 3).

Then when I add a background color it gives the effect I am after (screenshot 4).

So here is the issue - Each image will have 100's of white dots and they will be random on each image (sort of like a star field would be a good comparison). So I need to find a way to perform the same procedure all at once on all the dots (preferred way I would think), sort of like using smart erasure but with a feather effect, or need to create an "action" that will do that.

So I guess my questions a

1. Can one create a gradient that goes from "eraser-to-black", and then save it as a mask? (to use for question 2)

2. or perform the same task on each selected spot at the same time using a mask or

3. If I need to create an "action" for this how would one move from one spot to the next to perform the task on each spot?

Since I am new here I am beginning to search through the massive forums here but thought I would throw this out will I keep searching. Thanks so much.

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.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to recreate the multi colored gradient shadow effect on the image below. I have the black outline of the object that I want to be surrounded by the gradient, and I want to recreate it so that it is exactly how it is in the flyer below. Thank you.

Hello Everyone!

I have been having a difficult time turning a rectangular strip into a semicircle to make a seamless whole. So far I have used a circle as a guide and warped & puppet warped the strip. My results have been less than satisfactory. I was wondering if there is a better way? I am using CS5. Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated!!


Thanks!

This illustration appeared in today's NY Times Sunday Magazine. I've been trying all afternoon to achieve the same effect in Photoshop using the photo of Charlotte Rampling (sigh!) as an example, but having no luck. When I looked closer at the NY Times article I noticed that the credits say "artwork by Michael Mapes; photograph of artwork by Stephen Lewis", so it appears that Michael Mapes may have actually cut a printed photograph into a thousand circles and stuck pins into each one. But still, it seems like this ought to be do-able in Photoshop.

My idea was to create a custom brush of several roundish shapes and then use scattering and shape dynamics to randomly scatter circular shapes across the photo, create a clipping mask from that, and add the white strokes that are present in most of the circles. (I was going to worry about the push-pins later.) But that didn't work at all... all I did was create an amorphous blob rather than hundreds of individual cirles. Now I'm not sure how to approach this without actually creating each circle one at a time, which would take forever. I'm going to keep plugging away, but I thought this might make a good challenge to see if anyone can re-create the effect.

Hello Photoshop Guru forum, I think I need one such guru's help for something- I'm trying to conform a graphic logo image with text (currently using a non-vector) to curve along the edge of a circle without distorting the letters and such. The warp tool is somewhat helpful but too haphazard. In general I use PS more for painting and such, so my experience working with paths is limited.. anyone know what technique makes the most sense in this situation?

To reiterate, this is for a sticker project, so I'm trying to wrap a logo along the edge of a circular sticker. It doesn't occupy too much space, as it's going along the curve with other text. Using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac. Thanks for any assistance you guys can offer.

I want to create a mockup like this

I know the complicated, time wasting way, and with actions etc. , I'm way too lazy to do that.
and since I just upgraded to the extended version, I want to use the 3d mode.
I already googled, found none helpful. Please help. Thanks and please excuse my bad English.
