Orb Logo Tutorial

Made by: Nick

In this tutorial I plan to show you a simple way to create a nice looking orb logo like this one:


First use the Ellipse Tool to draw a circle


 

Now from the blending options make a gradient for the circle with 90 degrees angle


 

Make an Inner shadow too


 

and finally Drop shadow


 

Now rasterize the circle's layer (right click>rasterize layer)


 

make a new layer




then make a ellipse selection on the top of the circle


 

and fill it with the gradient of white and transparent white


 


this is how it should look so far


 

now using the Elliptical Marquee tool set the feather 13px and make a small circle in the bottom of the circle


 

and fill the circle with white in a new layer


 

then change the layer's opacity to 50%


 

Now we'll make a reflection for that circle


 

merge all the layers by selecting them all, right clicking


 

and then duplicate the merged layer


 

From Edit Menu, Flip the copy vertically


 

and then move it under the orginal circle


 

Now make a selection from the half to the bottom of the new circle


 

make the feather of the selection 30 pixels


 
 

and delete


 

Finally change the Opacity of the circle's layer to 25%
