rock was just using my template that I sent him.
How is it the thread starter has only 1 post and has never posted again? In particular to his own thread....
knuckler asked me awhile back, to come up with a tutorial on how I made it, but I'm really not that skilled. I played around with this template for a good 5 months before I got the logo to look like a shiny button, which is what I was going for.
I saw my shiny logos on my buddy's laptop, once, and they looked like crap and have forever been turned off by them, since. They looked good on my computer...but it just killed it to see them look that bad on his comp. Couple that with WAY overusing it, I'm kinda done with this template. Luckily, I didn't delete the PSD of it, so now someone can, at least, download it and check out some of the layers on how it was accomplished.
A few things to explain about it....
Layer 7 and Layer 6 are purposely white on the template so that you can easily see them. They fix a couple of 'smudges'. Just click 'Blending Options' and then click 'Color Overlay' and then click close to the color to blend them in. Like I said, they are purposely white in the template, so that you can easily see where they are located. Layer 6 is real small and located on the top left of the logo. This brought the 'shiny' white part to the yellow edge. Layer 7...I have no idea how it came to be.....like I said, I messed with this thing a good 5 months before I got it how I liked it.
The 'gloss' layer is a couple of layers combined and if I had kept them separate, it would of been easy to see how that was accomplished. That is not the case and that knowledge it lost. Like I said, I fiddled a long time with it.
The 'gloss copy' layer is simply an extra shiny corner with the extra shade of the 'gloss' layer. Sometimes it appears their is not enough of that shine on a logo and I would add this extra 'gloss' to make it shine a little better.
The trick that made it looked rounded and like a button is in Layer 1, coupled with the shade in the 'gloss' layer. This color yellow is a real good color to shade and show contrast to get the rounded look. Click on 'Blending Options' to see what I had used to accomplish that. That's about it, I wish I explain it a little better.

Here is a link to my photobucket to see how the mlb and milb logos turned out using this shiny logo template, for those that may have never seen them. This was for the 2007 season and updated 2008 logos have not been included.
