Quake 3 Logo (Exclusive Tutorial)


Everybody remembers the popular game "Quake". It has been the most popular FPS game for the last several years. In this tutorial I will describe how to create the logo for it.

Create a new document (Ctrl+N) 200x200px with the black background in Photoshop. Create the new layer (Ctrl+Shift+N) and make selection 183x53px in the upper side of the canvas with the help of the Rounded Marquee tool (M). After that fill the selection white and deselect (Ctrl+D).

Now make a selection in the shape of triangle from the central rectangle up to the top of the canvas using Polygon Lasso tool (L).
