Learn how to create a marine logo by following this step-by-step guide. In this tutorial we will use Pen, Brush, Marquee tools and other effects. Logo is the combination of characters and/or graphics to create a single design that is used to identify a company or organization.
1. Create a new document in Photoshop of any size (I have used 300 / 200 px) with white background contents.
2. Now create a shape as shown below using Pen tool and Right-click> Make selection, select the default options. Fill the selection with #2859c9 on a different layer.
3. Repeat the above step to create new shapes and arrange them as shown below. You can use different colors to fill the selection (here I have used ##2859c9, #17367d for bottom and top respectively) and each shape on a different layer.
4. Create a circle just below the top layer using Elliptical Marquee tool and fill the selection with gradient color tool (#fa3a07 foreground and #eeb037 background color).
5. Now press Ctrl + D to deselect and then double-click the circle layer and apply the blending options as shown below:
