Ok, This is my first Tutorial on the forums so here goes.

I am only a beginner at photoshop, so please don't flame me when im doing
something that can be done alot simpler. If you think you can do better/simpler
please upload your own tutorial to show every one the way you would do it.


Step 1: Click File/New And enter in the information seen below. (Image 1)



Step 1a: Click the paint bucket tool in the toolbar and Select Red (ff0000) (100% Opacity) now click on the image.
(The reason i choose red is because i find it the easiest to work with whist creating this logo, you may choose
any color you like just not white or black.)


Step 2: Download My IV font HERE. (Please note this font i have created only has the letters "I" & "V" nothing else)


Step 3: After you have installed the font, Click The Text Button In the tool bar And browse for the font "Ja750 IV"


Step 4: Enter 400pt as the Text size And Text color Black then position it so the "IV" is centered, you should now
have something similar to this. (Image 2)



Step 5: Next, Click Layer/Layer Style/ Stroke, now enter the information in, shown in the image below. (Image 3)


Step 6: Now Right click on the background layer in the layer window (f7) then click on delete Layer (Image 4)


Step 7: Now click layer / New / Layer (Shift+Ctrl+N) And select Theses Options (Image 5)


Step 8: Hold click on Layer 1 In the layer window (F7) And drag down so this layer goes under The Text
layer "IV" (Image 6)


Step 9: Now use your paint bucket tool again and select Red and click on the White of the image. It should
Now look something like this (Image 7)


Step 10: Right click on the Layer "IV" in the layer window (F7) and select "Group into new smart Object"


Step 11: Now click Layer/Layer Style/ Stroke, Now this time we will be selecting a Black stroke.(Image 8)


Step 12: Select Layer 1 and then use Magic Wand On the red background then delete layer in the layer
window (f7)


Step 13: Now create a new Layer (Shift+Ctrl+N) And then right click on the new layer (Layer 1)
Merge visible.

Step 13: (Right this is the only way i know how do straight edges after a stroke so bare with me)
click the "Rectangular Marquee Tool" In the toolbar (top left) and then select
one edge, once selected use either paint bucket or paint brush to fill in with black. (Image 9)


Step 14: Go right around the whole image untill you end up something like this (Image 10)

Step 15: Select the line tool, from corner to corner make a line in white (#ffffff) (Image 11)


Step 16: Repeat previous step until it looks something like this (Image 12)


Step 17: Now right click on any Shape Layer (1-25) and select Merge Visible


Step 18: Now Select Magic Wand in the toolbar and select one edge, use this Key (Image 13) I've
made for the edges colors or simply use this Image (Image 14) and color pick the edges with color
picker. use paint bucket or paint brush to fill in with the selected color. (Image 15)


Step 19: Color Pick each edge untill it looks something like this. (Image 16)


Step 20: Repeat step 11, Layer/Layer Style/Stroke (With all the same information)


Step 21: Create new layer; layer/ new/ layer (Shift+Ctrl+N)


Step 22: Repeat step 13 Untill you have something like this (Image 17)


Step 23: Now right click on Layer 1 in the layer window (f7) and click merge visible.


Step 24: Add another stroke, Layer/Layer Style/Stroke with the following information (Image 18)


Step 25 Finally Touch up the rough edges with line tool with the appropriate colors (Image 19)

(Please remember to merge visible after every line you create, Right click on any shape
layer, merge visible.

Final product (Image 20)

Nice if you can do that you can make names in that font

[Funk3h]

Was expecting quite a sh*t tutorial tbh, but Damn. That looks really good, very close to the original.

[Stuch]

Very accurate! Great tutorial, you should add the reflected gradient as well, then there would be no difference!

[Jay]

This is very surprising. Good work
