Final Image Preview

Create a new file (File>New) of 1600×1200 px and 72 dpi. Select then the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to give to the new file this color - #707070

We’ll apply for this layer the next selection - Filter>Noise>Add Noise


…and also Filter>Render>Lighting Effects


Select for this layer CTRL+SHIFT+U

Make a mouse click on the bottom part of the layers’ panel on Create new fill or adjustment layer>Curves


Take after that the Pen Tool (P) to represent the left half of the logotype’s element we want to have in the end. Its shape may be changed with Convert Point Tool. The color in this case should be selected the black one.

Make a copy of the recent made layer and select the Free Transform option to turn around the copy, placing it the same way indicated below.

Put together both halves into a single rasterized layer. Press Ctrl button to mark out the necessary layers and finally press Ctrl+E. Select for this layer the parameters shown below by making a mouse click on this layer on the layers’ panel. Blending Options>Drop Shadow

Blending Options>Bevel and Emboss

Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:


Select the earlier applied tools (the Pen Tool (P) and Convert Point Tool) to represent several more elements of the same logotype.

Put together the new made elements into a single layer the same way described above with the previous elements, choosing for the new layer the parameters from below: Blending Options>Drop Shadow

Blending Options>Bevel and Emboss

Make a copy of the rasterized layer, containing the elements from the bottom part and choose the Free Transform option to turn over the copy, placing it the way shown below:

Rasterize this layer too. In this case we have to create a new layer, pressing Ctrl button and marking out both layers and then press Ctrl+E. Create a new layer under the new layer that we’ve got and choose for it the Brush Tool (B) to paint it with two colors not getting outside the logo’s edge.


Select the next parameters for the layer with the brush: Blending Options>Bevel and Emboss


Put together now both of the layers, the brush’s layer and the layer containing the Harley Davidson logo. Press Ctrl button, mark out both layers and then press Ctrl+E. Also select for this new combined layer the parameters demonstrated below: Blending Options>Drop Shadow

Create a new layer which must be placed above the Curves layer, but under the logotype’s layers. Using the Pen Tool (P) and the Convert Point Tool, try to make the bottom part of the logotype.

Make a copy of this layer and select the Free Transform option to turn over the copy, placing it as below. The copy’s layer must be situated above the previous layer:

Put together both layers of the logotype’s basis into a rasterized layer (pressing Ctrl button and marking out the corresponding layers and finally press Ctrl+E). Set the next parameters for the rasterized layer: Blending Options>Drop Shadow


Blending Options>Inner Shadow

Blending Options>Bevel and Emboss


Blending Options>Color Overlay

Blending Options>Pattern Overlay (the set of Patterns II textures)

Blending Options>Stroke


Make a kind of deepening under the logotype. Create a new layer above the Curves effect on which we’ll apply the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) (the circle option) The top part of the circle should be painted with the usual Brush Tool (B) of black color and the lowest part – with the white color.
The layer’s parameters: Fill 53%

Create a new layer and choose for it the standard brush (Opacity of 20%) to dark out the top and bottom parts of the made deepening.


On the last stage, we’ll just introduce the necessary text we want to have on the logotype, keeping the next demonstrated demands:
