More badges to plastify

[eggwaveguy]

Hi all, this is my first post here so not sure if it's the right place for it.

I've made a logo for a create club I've done however because I downloaded the plastic logos megapack this new logo looks out of place. I wondered if there was anyone who knew of a way to make my logo more like the logos in the pack and if they could teach me how to do this it would be very much appreciated. I had managed to get it looking slightly embossed but nowhere near as good as any of the ones in the pack nor did i get the embossed patterns either.

Included is the logo I have made and the an example of one of the pack logos as reference. 
Thanks in advance

Thanks for that mate. looks just great.

Any chance you'd be able to tell me how you edited it to be like this? have you got a photoshop blend preset or something to apply the emboss and the pattern or something? would be nice to know how to make these in the future without depending on you or others to do it

It's a template I've developed for the site mate. I don't share our templates but always happy to help by making them.

Hi all

sorry to post right after my last post but i realised the badge i had been given would not work because it is a create club which has to be red green and blue. also if you could make this other badge like it also that would be appreciated, this one is fine as red and white just needs the embossing stuff.

That's no problem. If you have a lot you can send them to me in bulk too as thats just as easy.

on another note, if you’re interested in making and recreating templates yourself, i recommend starting with video tutorials on youtube.

depending on which program you use, there are numerous lessons that are usually easy to follow along - here are a few, just so you know what usually are the tools for graphics manipulation:

 

photoshop (standard, but pricey - they offer a time-limited trial version … there are also versions out there that have been »upgraded«)
gimp (open source and freeware)
affinity photo (affordable one-time purchase)
there are more, but the above are the most common and powerful editing programs

 

the techniques applied are usually the same across programs. keywords for you are LAYERS, OVERLAY, TEXTURES, BLEND MODES - you’ll branch out once you go from there.

here are a few example tutorials to give you an idea:

photoshop

 

gimp
