Thanks tbone and LD . Yes, I am unhappy with that. Used pen tool to draw over a official logo; I am very bad in using the pen tool. (Need Nick's advice).

 

[lorddenis]

I think you've done a nice job pal. Unfortunately it looks like you've used PS for the whole design.
I would have gone the vector route and used CorelDraw. But there's a nice quick and easy PS tutorial to make the wordpress logo over here if you want to give it a go how to make a wordpress logo
I don't know if you use Corel but if you would like me to make a CorelDraw tutorial to achieve the same results just let me know.

Thanks mate You are right, it 100% PS.

I nearly never used CorelDraw. But I can download and use to see how I can use it (I guess it gives 30 days trial). It will my pleasure if you can make a tutorial; please do only when you have time in hand

Fantastic tutorial It is something close what was in my imagination. But shortened the steps a bit for the circle parts, I dont know if its "against the rule". I made one, copied twice; made outer and inner slanted circles from it (stacked it below the ring facing us). I was not aware of this site; thank you very much for the link

Its a fantastic tutorial and I enjoyed every minute of it. I have no word to give you thanks. I will download CorelDraw today and I think it will be great to follow the tutorial and create some other thing like that.

Someone please pass my rep for him; I have spread it before giving rep.

Nick mate, the tutorial link you gave plus the videos you created is really helpful. I saw something like this in some website logo and created it. As you can guess the last steps of adding the reflection is done in PS. I am just a starter so...have done that cheat

Additionally, the tips on canvas/document size helped me too. Thanks a lot pal.
