How to design a youtube logo

hi friends.. i thought of designing a youtube logo while i was watchin videos in youtube.. and thus sharing my creativity with you..
the original logo is..

for this i required a font which is ALMOST similar to youtube.. i googled it and found it..

now we'll see the steps involved in it..

STEP-1

first open a new document.. type 'you' and 'tube' in seperate layers.. give black colour to 'you' and white colour to 'tube'.. give a inner shadow in the colour #ee3e3e with default settings in the blending option of 'tube' layer..

STEP-2

in a new layer draw a round edged rectangle with a colour of #ee3e3e in a smaller size and then transform it as it looks like in the original logo..

STEP-3

in the final step use a brush of white colour and just click in the top right corner of the new red box in a new layer..then use lasso tool to remove the unwanted brush effect outside the box.. and adjust it to the inner part of the box..

now compare this with the original logo..

except some minor changes the logo looks perfect..

how to design facebook logo

hi friends welcome to my another blog..
this time i've tried to design the facebook logo..
the original image is..

STEP-1

create a new image in the size of 500x500 pixels.. create a round edged rectangle in a smaller size then transform it to fit the image.. then apply a radial gradient of #365497 to #466ecf from the bottom of the image to center..

STEP-2

create two duplicate layer of the round edged rectangle.. in the original layer give a drop shadow with 5 distance, 5 size, 15 spread, and 120degree angle..

STEP-3

now give the colour overlay in the first duplicate layer with #466ecf and shrink it using free transform.. and do the same to the second duplicate layer without the colour overlay..

STEP-4

type 'f' in arial font in a new layer..

STEP-5

cut unwanted regions from the font.. by first rasterizing the font layer and then cutting it using lasso or marquee tool..

STEP-6
now create a round marquee tool with a fill of white colour and opacity 50%..

now check the above with the original logo
