The amount of customers demanding glossy colors is diminishing…I think the day that glossy-whatever is outdated is not so far away. Meanwhile, we’ll keep on doing what you described:).

Thanks Mark, I guess the gloss effect on the star was a little something I threw in, again there’s loads of tuts on how to do it all over the net but I might do one for it this week.

Re: Orangeninja – which btw is a really cool logo in my opinion – my guess is not that they stretched it but that they only took the bottom half of the legs, then sliced them into 2 layers – 1 for each leg then re-aligned them to create a more perspective reflection.

Definitely something I will look into and may lead to another tut, thanks

Simple and effective. Would have been nice to add the little extra to teach people how to add that shine to the star, not that you couldn’t find it elsewhere.

Have you managed to create a decent looking reflection when you have characters that fall below the reflection line like ‘you’ or ‘green’, for example? The characters would have to be stretched I assume.

Check out http://www.orangeninja.com/. You can see the ninjas legs are realistically reflected but the title text is not.

Cheers.
