How To Create A Professional Logo Design On Adobe Photoshop

In this tutorial you will learn how to create an elegant logo that would fit in nicely with most any design company. The techniques taught in this tutorial can also be altered in many ways to create an almost entirely different company logo.

Process # 1
open an existing document in photoshop, or create a new one. I will be using a document that is 440 x 312 for this tutorial. Fill the background with white (#FFFFFF).

Double click this layer and apply the following blending options:
