Set your size here, in our example we are
using 500x500 pixels at 300 dpi.
300 dpi (dots per inch) is a good starting point as the
image will not look jagged.
We can always resize the image later


We now have our workspace


Now click on the Ellipse tool


Drag the shape in to the work space and size accordingly


1. Whilst the shape is active in the layer go to the upper
shape tool bar and select the gradient tab

2. double click on gradient colour stop,
this will load the colour pallet


1. Choose your desired colour

2. Now select the other colour stop and double click.


1. Choose your desired second colour

2. You will notice the gradient bar is showing your
chosen two colours as the fill for your ellipse shape.


1. use the colour midpoint slider to find the desired gradient level,
e.g. more red than black

2. now use the rotate the gradient tool to adjust where the
gradient angle will be finalised.


In our logo we adjust the gradient angle
with the rotation tool to the bottom right as a shadow
Effect, with a light source coming from the top left.


Now select the ellipse tool again and make a second
smaller circle and position opposite the shaded area.


With the new circle in place select the solid fill tab from
the shape tool bar and select the colour white


With the white ellipse selected click on filters, blur and lens blur.
This will blur the ellipse to give a reflective light source effect.


Click on OK again and accept
default settings


You should now have a nice pin point reflective shine.


2. Now select the font, size, colour etc...
from the text tool bar options

1. Select the Text tool


Type and position your text.
This will look flat so we need to curve it now


With the text layer active, click on the create warped text icon


Select bulge, the use the below sliders
To adjust the text so it looks like it's
bent round the ball


The text on the logo will move real time to
get that perfect look.


To add some depth to the text we are going
to add a drop shadow. Select layer, layer style,
then drop shadow


Using the layer style options you can adjust the shadow
Angle and depth, also the light source direction


I really hope this helped you and inspired
you in some some of the simple but
effective tools Photoshop has to offer.
