Hhmm. Great outcome although Im struggling duplicating and making it look 3d. When you duplicate they go below each other making it look good and 3d. What do I need to do to make them do that?

Axertion says,

Well to duplicate the layer, make a separate layer below the top layer. Then make it a bit darker. Hold the ALT key and press down on the directional arrows and the layer will duplicate over and over again. Do this until you have a desired height, then merge all the duplicated layers together to make your base. Hope that helps a bit ;)

Thanks, that helped a bit. But I simply can’t do a logo like you’ve done yours. Do you think you could do a Q for me? Use the colours Blue, Red and Yellow? It would really help thanks. And save it as a png? That way I can kinda look at what you’ve done :)

Tut mir leid, ich habe nicht dieses Tutorial in Deutsch: P Aber wenn man sich das Video, das Sie sollten in der Lage sein, worauf es ankommt. Der einzige Teil, den Sie wirklich brauchen, zu wissen, aus dem Text ist es, ATL, und drücken Sie auf die Richtungs-Tasten, um den 3D-Effekt auf Ihre Form

I cannot do a custom logo for free as I have paying clients. I did however upload the PSD I created during this video. You can find it at the bottom of the post above. I hope that helps you a bit more ;)

lol, that happens when I resized it for presentation. I can’t recover that part but it really isn’t a vital part of the design. Just make your own shape and follow the steps ;)

Hello, very nice tutorial! I am entering a 99designs.com contest and I was wondering if I could use your tutorial? The problem is the company I am designing for has an “E” at the beginning of the company name and If I made them it with this tutorial It would look the same. Is that ok? Do I have permission to do that?

Thanks!

Please reply ASAP,

Sabrina
