 |
|
Hello everyone. I was wondering if I could get any help regarding recreating a game logo in photoshop. The logo is from "Sonic Adventure", a game that was developed by Sonic Team and released for the Sega Dreamcast in 1999 (the picture is attached for reference). I'd like to know how to replicate this kind of text effect in photoshop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ok here we go....
1. make a layer with an image of clear sparkling water
2. make a layer above the blue sky with a sun and some clouds
3. on the sky layer, use the eraser with a soft brush, or a soft brush on the layer mask, to blend the sky and the water into each other.
4. merge the sky and water layer together. (creating skywater)
5. make a new layer above skywater with an orange stone pattern.
6. now add your text, warp the text if you want to add the curved look. To make it the same as sonic use arc lower and change the bend to negative.
7. you should now have one layer for skywater, one for orange stone, and your text layers.
the next part is a bit tricky because it involves shortcut clicks but once you understand what your doing its a piece of cake.
--- layer thumbnails and layer mask thumbnails are the small boxes to the left of the layer names which visually represent whats on each layer ---
8. hide your orange stone layer.
9. hold ctrl and click the layer thumbnail of your text layer to create a selection. keep holding ctrl and hold shift as well to click any other text layers you have. ctrl + shift will add to the existing selection.
10. you should now have marching ants/marquee around the shape of your text.
11. select your skywater layer and click the add layer mask at the bottom of the layers tab.
12. the skywater layer should disappear except for the parts hidden under the black text.
13. hide the black text layers to reveal the skywater text.
14. make your orange stone layer visible again, it should hide your new skywater text/skywater layer as it is above it.
15. repeat step 9 so you have a selection of your text again.
16. go to Photoshops menu.. Select > Modify > Expand: expand by 10px - now you have a bigger selection
17. select the orange stone layer and click the add layer mask just like step 11.
18. now drag the orange stone layer down below the skywater layer and you will have something that resembles the sonic text.
19. select the skywater layer and click the layer style (FX) button down the bottom of the layers tab.
20. check 'drop shadow' and 'bevel and emboss'
21. do steps 19 and 20 for the orange stone layer as well.
and that's it.
