How To Create an 80's Style Chrome Logo Text Effect in Photoshop

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



In today's Photoshop tutorial we're going back to the 1980s to create a rad text effect based on those 80s style chrome logos we used to see for games, movies, TV shows and more. The overall design incorporates the classic bold chrome text effect with a hot pink script font. It's all done in Photoshop using a mix of layer styles and colour overlays to reproduce the shiny metal effects and vibrant colours.
