With a little inspiration from logos from the 1980's and their revival in things like FarCry 3: Blood Dragon, I show you how to whip up a retro logo from the 1980's in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. If you're lazy and don't want to make it yourself, scoop up the full layered and styles PSD file for only $2 over at the QuintalDesigns.com store, or for $3 over on Creative Market. $2 - http://quintaldesigns.com/downloads/80s-scifi-logo-psd $3 - https://creativemarket.com/RyanQuintal/10056-80s-Scifi-Logo-PSD And the font... well that cost a bit more: http://www.typography.com/fonts/vitesse/overview/

7. Pretty good tutorial.
   
   I don't have Photoshop or Illustrator, but I can replicate most of this in free open-source KDE software called Krita, its basically got all essential tools like Photoshop does, the ways of doing all this stuff as shown in this tutorial is pretty do-able just that some things are done differently to get the effects you want.

12. can someone help. I'm having trouble when i copy my grid and paste it into photoshop it doesn't appear.
13. very helpful thanks
14. I used Gradient Diamond Tool but it covers up everything. Everything on white color :/
15. Does anyone has free Vitesse Sans free font? I'm not paying 2-10 dollars for this one font.
16. Can you resale me this font for a cheaper price...?
    or do you recommend a similar font?
    $200 for that font is kind of bonkers! :/
17. What color code you have for that red beam, and the gradient stats? Because I can't get the same result, I wouldn't mind my own result, IF it wasn't that shitty looking, because I have tried all kinds of reds and pink, transparent or not, and different locations for a color, nothing works, it looks like washed out crap, like washed out red color...and I have no idea how did you got it, but you instantly say - And for gradient style I gonna choose the second one ( you say it as if everyone has that style, might as well please show the color code, transparency, and placement, because nothing looks alike when I try...because for me your laser looks like laser, it looks like perfect laser(the one you made as a star), and as I said before, mine looks like washed out red color with visible transparent edges on a black background.)
18. Nvm, my units weren't the same haha.
19. Why do I get a black screen behind my grid? Alsso my grid is way too tiny once I paste it onto photoshop...
20. Great tutorial!
