May as well post something here cuz I hardly even post here [Twisted;Reality Logo]

[Aix]

So this is a logo I made for an RP I'm hosting. I'm not going to ask you to check it out here because that would be advertis- *shot and warned by Rinne*

[spoiler='Steins Gate Logo for reference'][/spoiler]

 

I made it in Photoshop Elements. I do realize that the semi-colon is a little too far to the right for comfort.

 

I dunno how to make the thing transparent. I made the tattoo-like things in the background by finding a black and white version of it online and then using the Magic Wand tool to cut it out on a clipping mask (hitching on the back of a Levels Adjustment layer), however, the problem is that if I remove the background, the things disappear as well.

 

Any idea of how to make the stuff that you see in the Steins;Gate logo? I mean the debris around the text.

What I'm guessing is: They took a bunch of random splatter/grunge brushes, applied them randomly all around the text, then deleted 1 stroke width of the part over the text layer to create the "border" effect. You can these brushes everywhere, I think some come with the defaults too.

I didn't get this... couldn't you just merge everything and make that part a new transparent layer?

It doesn't work to merge. The problem lies in the fact that the clipping mask doesn't belong to the coloured part, it belongs to a Levels layer and if I merge it, it all disappears.

Can you upload the PSD?
