Learn how to make the famous Sony Ericsson logo.
1. Start by opening a new 200px by 200px file and draw a circle using the Elliptical Marquee Tool and pressing Shift while doing it to get a perfect circle
2. Create a new layer, fill the selection with any color and add this layer styles. This layer is going to be
- Gradient #56575b to #f0f0f0 from top to bottom
3. Now using the Ellipse Tool(U) draw a smaller circle in the middle of the logo, again color doesn’t matter. And duplicate this layer.
4. In one of the duplicated layers, select the Pen Tool and Ctrl+click over the circle paths
5. Now move the selectors, and add some if necessary, to make the following shape
6. Repeat step 4 in the other duplicated layer, and step 5 to make this second shape
7. Press ctrl+Click over one of the shape thumbs to select it, then select the first layer, where the gradient is, and delete your selection by going to Edit -> Clear. Now do the same but selecting the other shape layer
8. In a new layer, create another circle that is the same size as the first one and fill it with any color
9. Now apply this layer style and move this layer down the first one
- Gradient #47a453 to #1d4f2a
10. Create a new layer and make a small circle in the middle with the Elliptical Marquee Tool and fill it with any color
11. Now apply this gradient to the layer
12. Ctrl+click over the layer thumb and, in a new layer, make a White to Transparent radial gradient over the selection
13. Change this layer’s blend mode to Overlay and move both, the small circle and this gradient, layers down the first layer(the one with the silver gradient) and over the other big circle.
14. Press ctrl+click over the first layer thumb(the one with the silver gradient) and, in a new layer, make a White to Transparent radial gradient as in the image below
15. Select the bottom layer, the one with the big circle and green gradient, and make in a new layer a White to Transparent radial gradient
16. Change this new layer’s blend mode to Overlay and opacity to 50%
17. And that’s it. Your logo is done
