How to design the glo logo in photoshop
This simple tutorial will show you how to use the blur tool to make surfaces look reflected. The aim of this tutorial is to let beginners get used to some basic tools in photoshop.
Step 1:
Create a new photoshop document of 650x520px. Using the ellipse tool, create a circle and fill with #16B809. Let’s call this layer “circle”.
Step 2:
Ctrl+click on the “circle” layer thumbnail & on a new layer, apply a linear gradient from black(down) to transparent(up). You can reduce the opacity a little.
Tip: When using the gradient tool, hold shift to constrain it to vertical, horizontal & diagonal gradients.
Step 3:
Ctrl+click on the “circle” layer again and make the selection below using the pen tool then subtract the selection. On a new layer, apply a linear gradient of transparent(down) to black(up). Then reduce the opacity to 10% or less.
Step 4 (Adding some shine):
Select the Elliptical marquee tool and make a selection on a new layer. Then apply a Gaussian blur (Filter >Blur >Gaussian blur).
Step 5 (Some more shine):
Apply the effect to some other areas.

You can them add text or whatever ;) I hope you learned a thing or two. Below is my final image.
What font are you using?
Thanks for d reply :) I used Ambrosia Demo you can download it here.
The final image is a bit different from the original but I still picked up some tricks which is your aim. I created something similar with fireworks a few months ago. I’m making the jump into ps and ai presently.
I’m a little confused on STEP 3 onwards, help? I can’t find make selection
@CA: To make a selection, hold CTRL and click on the layer (in the layer panel).
