Step 9
Create a new layer by clicking Layer > New > Layer or Shift+Ctrl+N
Give the layer a name, preferably something meaningful E.g. Windows Logo
Open the Vista logo or whatever you can find to fit.
Select > All
Go to your orb creation, on the newly created layer .
Go to Edit > Paste
Use the free transform feature to increase or decrease the size so it will fit your image.
Go to Image > Adjustments > Auto Levels. This will make the Logo stand out a little better.
Double click the Logo Layer for Layer Style Properties
Select > Drop Shadow > multiply > 30% Opacity and set Size 15px.
I also adjusted the Brightness/Contrast of the Circle Layer to make the green a little darker for better result.

Works with other colours as well. So play with the colours that you see are worthwhile.

You can also add a drop shadow as well.

This is great a example. Awesome tutorials.
I followed all the instructions and was able to create my own looking orb. Instead of using the windows logo, I inserted my own and its look pretty good. |
