Hey folks - I've just dropped a few more vintage/retro style logo tutorials for Photoshop - go and check them out in my videos section! They look awesome!
if you select the object you are trying to center and the background at the same time. At the top, there are buttons that center it for you! great tutorial!
I searched for this tutorial, very helpfull and clear to understand (not to fast like some other tutorials on YT). Thank you and kind regards from The Netherlands!
Thanks for posting this. I followed your steps and was very pleased with the result, and I learned a few new tricks. The graphics designer who told you nothing is black is correct. True black is no color at all, hence RGB 0,0,0 or #000000. I've been using #090909 for black backgrounds for years. The only thing I use true black with is printable versions. The logo I made here was an army green background (#002200) with smoke white text (#F2F2F2). I think it adds to that vintage feel. The steps I tried to skip were rasterizing the circles and cutting them to break them up. If you make the background color of the rectangle the same as the background color of the image, it hides them anyway. That worked until I went to make a version of the logo with a transparent background. Then I had to go back and do it right. Now I'm glad you included those steps.
Great tutorial and straight forward... Please, I don't know what is wrong, after making selection on my rectangle and I clicked on the ellipse, my ellipse is not selected. Thereby, cut is not visible for me to use... Help!!
I don’t understand how to make the upside down text flip? I used the ‘Path Selection Tool’ but all it did was center the word and delete some of the letters. Are we supposed to hold down a key while using the tool?
hey master i just wanna say a BIG thank you for sharing please the crtl key and selecting the little rectangle mine is not showing please is there any other way that can be done i mean the marching ants is not showing thanks
Great tutorial! My only question I have is I made my logo and now Im trying to export as a PNG so I can print on T's, but when I get rid of the black background it shows the bar in the middle that I used to make my shape. How do I keep the circle shape I created while blending the bar so it doesnt show up when I export as a PNG?
Great tutorial, I know it sounds silly but presumably if I want to use it on photos etc I turn off the black background merge the layers together and save as a PNG?
@@GeekTutorials1 Thank you, but that simply does not work on my iMac using the latest PS versions (It used to work just fine, but now ONLY draws from outsude, away from edge of circle no matter what keys are pressed).
GREAT TUTORIAL!!! - But can not get the Crown downloads. I followed the link then search, but all the Free are not Free, at least where I looked. At any rate this video is still a great help for my students :) Rob
I tried to do this and create a hi res transparent logo but when I erased the background to do that there was still black in the top and bottom of the center circle
Why do i not have all these custom shapes? I have 4 folders, like leaves and boats. And when I click on the little "cog" or whatever you call it, I have a much smaller option box not a long list like you. help?
how to do this on 11:36 I already click the (ctrl k) does not work theirs no dash line on the rectangle, also it says: "workspace changes will take effect the next time you start Photoshop" plss help me. BTW I'm using Photoshop 2019
To get rulers up, simply press "Ctrl R" on a Windows machine. "Cmd R" on a Mac. Maybe select a circle and move it with your arrow keys? I hold Shift and move my shapes with the arrow keys to move them in larger increments as well.
Do a Google search for 'free Photoshop brushes' - and include a category in your search to narrow them down. You will be able to download an .abr file. That is the file you need to import to Photoshop.
Also - these guys are my friends. I do some work with them and they have awesome shapes for download. Some free, some for a small price tag. Brilliant stuff! www.heritagetype.com/?ref=geektutorials
11:56 I do not have an option to "cut" it is not bold as yours is......... also i cannot see my words on top of my rectangle unless i lower the opacity on the right side... how can i change that? is it bc i didn't chose black as my background but burgundy??? please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @geek tutorials

You're right! Those align tools are brilliant. I wish I'd known about them earlier (when I made this video). Thanks for sharing your tip!
Literally, you saved my day. Thanks for showing in a proper simple way the logo process...

Is it free to use this Logo as a shirt or Wallpaper??
AWESOME -- THANK YOU
Great tutorial, I know it sounds silly but presumably if I want to use it on photos etc I turn off the black background merge the layers together and save as a PNG?
Hey mate - sounds like you are on the right track. Make sure you have a transparent background rather than the black. And yes - save it as a PNG file.
@@GeekTutorials1 Got it sorted buddy, made a new logo for my photography thanks ever so much for the tutorial :-)
Great instruct -= Thanks! BUT HOW can I draw the circle from the CENTER rather than from the outside???? There MUST be a shortcut key.
From memory, hold Alt and then draw your shape.
@@GeekTutorials1 Thank you, but that simply does not work on my iMac using the latest PS versions (It used to work just fine, but now ONLY draws from outsude, away from edge of circle no matter what keys are pressed).
thank you so much
Simple yet great logo
Thank you for making this, it was really helpfull! :)

Got it :)
This has been so helpful! THANK YOU :)

Maybe start with a transparent background and go from there

Do a Google search for "Photoshop Shapes Free" and you can actually download more shapes to Photoshop.
Very helpful! Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Amazing tutorial! However I tried going back to change the color of the circles and it won't let me. Any ideas?
Try double clicking on each of the circle layers and add a colour overlay effect.
@@GeekTutorials1 OMG it worked. Thank you so much! I'm a complete noob when it comes to photoshop. You have my sub good sir :)
@@paultaylor9963 Sweet, glad it worked!
when im trying to cut 12:29 it says that the layer is not editable
Maybe right-click on the layer and Rasterize it?
Well done!
So cool to learn from u
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks! Subbed.
Nice video mate! Keep uploading.
Thank you so much! ♥

Thank you so much
cant type on bottom of circle
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍amazing tutorial
The video was really helpful
Thanks for the help. :)
Thanks for the help :)
How do I get the custom one instead of default? Is it a certain template to download?
Is that the shapes you're talking about?
i cant find CMYK on my settings
Ummm how do I get the rectangle to cut on a Mac my control P doesn’t do anything but bring up the menu
Real Rare try Command and then double click on the rectangle
it's better to create a mask than to cut. That way if you don't like it, it's easier to fix. Cutting is destructive editing.
top tutorial
Man, I'm so drunk now hahaha
So for some reason i cant cut out the circle bits at the side? anyone got any ideas?
Edit: Trying to make this logo for my football tipping service.
Make sure you have the correct layer selected.
got it working, just had to select 1 layer or circle not both layers.
Thank you!
great video! thanks
how did you get the ruler on your the top of your screen and how are you able to move your circle because when i try to it will not allow me to do so?
To get rulers up, simply press "Ctrl R" on a Windows machine. "Cmd R" on a Mac.
Maybe select a circle and move it with your arrow keys? I hold Shift and move my shapes with the arrow keys to move them in larger increments as well.
Where might I find other shapes? New to it and only have leaf trees, wild animals, boats and flowers

@@karinaazuara5297 HOW DID YOU DO IT, I CANT
why toogle cut can't clik?
You know I don't speak Spanish
love your video but i can't download the shapes any suggestions?
Judy download another set of shapes and use a slightly different shape. Or use a free crown vector. Heaps online to download
HOW DO YOU MAKE THAT LETTER SOUTHSIDE WIDE SPACING? I CANNOT DO
Adjust the 'tracking' in your font properties panel. A quick Google search will show you where that button is.
Thanks )
THANK U SO MUCH BRO . U TAUGHT TOO MUCH
wow
The Crown Shape download link is dead.
Apologises. Any crown shape will still work.
how to turn on the purple line when you move objects?
These are you "Smart Guides." Go to your View menu to turn them on.
cant find custom shape tool
Hold your mouse down on the Rectangle tool in your toolbox. It will be hiding there.
thanks sir do it more
