This tutorial is
designed to walk you through a simple example of how
to edit a logo using Photoshop, then placing it on
one of our Blank Helmet Templates.
This was an actual
request I received from a Logo Forum Member.
The original logo was taken form Chris Creamer's
Sports Logos. (sportslogos.net)
|
| |
 |
This is the
original logo, I believe it is an AHL Hockey
Team logo. The person that requested
this wanted it on a Gray Helmet, but for
this example I am using one of our blank
helmets (Brown, Black, Black). Since
this logo is going on a helmet, I wanted to
flip it around so the Moose was facing
forward. But, I don't want to flip the
words. Plus, the fantasy team is not
Manitoba, so that has to go too. Also,
it looks a little washed out, so we will
take care of that. |

|
 |
Using the
Polygon Tool I trace around the word
Manitoba, as indicated by the Yellow trace
lines in the example to the left.
After the are is selected I use the
Eyedropper tool and select the background
area behind the words. It isn't
exactly black, so I don't want to just pick
black. The Eyedropper tool allows you
to pick the exact color. |
| |
|
 |
Once I have
the color selected and the area is traced, I
choose the paint brush tool and paint in the
entire area covering the words and the
result is in the example. |
| |
|
 |
Next I want to
separate the Moose from the "Moose." I
want to make the animal and the words two
different layers. I trace around the
words as shown by the yellow line.
Select EDIT> COPY> then EDIT> PASTE. I
move the "Moose" letters into position on
top of the logo. Now I have two
separate layers. |
| |
|
 |
After that I
make sure the background layer is selected
(or the main logo) and I use the square tool
and just do a quick outline of the Animal.
|
| |
|
 |
Next, while
the square is selected I choose EDIT>
TRANSFORM> FLIP HORIZONTAL. This will
obviously, by the example, flip the Moose
the other direction.
Note: Here you
are probably going to have to rotate or
resize the Animal a bit to get it lined up
right. |
| |
|
 |
Next I want to
get rid of the partial circle and trees.
Personally, I just don't like it and think
it will make the logo look better without
it. I trace around that area,
indicated again by the yellow line. |
| |
|
 |
Once traced,
like before when we got rid of the words
Minitoba, use the Eyedropper tool, change
the color to white. Why do I use the
eyedropper tool here? Sometimes the
white isn't always exactly white and I want
it to be the an exact match. After
selecting the color, I paint in the area
with the Brush, or if it is a huge area, you
can use the paint fill.
The result is
an almost completed logo. |
