How To Create an 80’s Style Chrome Logo Text Effect in Photoshop

[ad_1]
In today’s Photoshop tutorial we’re going back to the 1980s to create a rad text effect based on those 80s style chrome logos we used to see for games, movies, TV shows and more. The overall design incorporates the classic bold chrome text effect with a hot pink script font. It’s all done in Photoshop using a mix of layer styles and colour overlays to reproduce the shiny metal effects and vibrant colours.

    How do you do the gradient on the outline? Mine says the content of the layer is not directly editable 🙁

    Those colour burn overlays are boring and time consuming! I had 13 characters to do :'( Though, great, concise tutorial!

    While applying the small gradient overlays to the "lazer", some of them come out blurry and not very messy. Any idea why that is?

    Im on the color burn part and I'm doing exactly what you show and the corners are coming out blue not black?

  27. Dee Lane Arts Avatar

    It took me legit 2 hours to do this trying to understand what exactly he was doing… Amazing work, you are extremely talented! But wow for a novice, this is nearly impossible to follow

    I agreed with everybody in these top comments. bro its very frustrating when a person who is a complete noob tries to do photoshop and you fucking talk and record the video at times fucking 10 speed… I don't mean to be rude but I think your problem is that you assume people know how to get to these menus and know all the steps when they don't, most of your viewers are noobs just as I am . don't get me wrong I'm no moron I got this thing done all the way to the end but for example with the grain texture layer I didn't know I had to make sure "show transport controls" was clicked or It wouldn't allow me to resize the image. and the reason I didn't know was because I didn't have to do it with the other layers. Slow down on your tutorials bro, go a little more In depth. You are in fact talented no lie, but youtube is relentless and people will start thumbing you down. I got way to the end and spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why I couldn't get the texture photo larger. Just keep these things in mind for the future. Nevertheless, keep up the good work!

    Hello, thanks for sharing. I tried to pay someone with a full version of Photoshop (I only have elements) to make this for me, but it didn't work out. Would you be interested in simply changing the words and background (a pic that I will supply) for an album cover for me (for a fee of course)? Thanks.
