Simple Black and Yellow logo/header/banner.
Here I will tell you how to make a simple yet effective logo in PhotoShop, just like this one:

NOTE: Basic PhotoShop skills required.
First off, make a document. Make it big (500*500) so it is easy to work with.
Select the Rounded Rectangle tool. Set the radius to around 30px; make it around this size:

Now we will set a gradient background on the rectangle (Right click on Layer > Blending Options > Gradient Overlay). Have the settings like this:


Now set a 3px stroke with a nice yellow, I will use #ffe71c .
Yours should now look somthing like this:

Now we are going to do the main text. Select a nice font like Verdana, and use a medium-high font size, i will use 36, use white for color. and place the text just above the middle.
Now we are going to add a simple drop shadow to the text. (Right Click Layer > Blending Options > Drop Shadow) Use similar settings to mine.

So far, mine is looking like this

Now on to adding the sub-text, or slogan, whatever you want to call it. Use a nice font or the same font you used for the main text. and do it a bit smaller, choose the color you used for the stroke/border (the yellow) and do the text a bit below the main font.
Mine now looks like this:

You’ve pretty much finished the main part now, but you can always make some modifications.
Here I changed the text colors around

Here I added a simple text effect that you can learn how to do here (coming soon).

Theres heaps of stuff you can do with this so start changing it around and get something you like!
Nice. Ty!
