Thanks for the copy and paste job:

Even if this is your blog, it would be better to post a summary of the post and then a link rather than just copying and pasting - copying and pasting makes you look like a spammer, especially if its your first post

Exactly, we're not hosting tutorials and you shouldn't be offering stuff and taking credit unless you actually did write it.

Well its definitely his/her tutorial coz its on the main page of the website which is in the last line of his/her post.

Thanks for the tutorial (is it realy copy pasted?) . But I prefer to use the online generator to generate such logos.

If you follow Web 2.0 closely, you’ll see similarities in the way logos are designed: Simple, glossed, gradient, bright-colored and often came with a slight reflection.

Some notes:

1. In Adobe Photoshop CS, started with a new 800×600, 72 pixel/inch document with white background.
2. The font used which you want, 80 point and hexadecimal color 3399CC. You may use similar fonts such as Arial, Tahoma or Helvetica.Set the opacity of the reflection to 50% and that of the white gloss to 30%.
3. For the starburst (where BETA is written), you need to open Character Map (Windows only) via Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map. Switch to the Wingdings font where you can find the starburst . Copy the starburst then return to Photoshop. Pick the text tool, click on the workspace and paste. You will initially see the “®” character. Highlight “®” then choose the Wingdings font from the toolbar. Set the size to 60 pt and hex color FFCC00. The two colors used for the gradient are FFCC00 and FFFF66 at a 135 degree angle. set the drop shadow to 30% opacity.
