Step 1
Create a new document with the following properties:

Width: 1000 pixels
Height: 800 pixels
Background Color: #b1f6ad

Step 2
Now use the Ellipse Tool (m) and make a selection like below, fill that selection with black:

Create a Circular Selection and fill it with black Tip: Press Shift to make a perfect Circle Selection

Step 3
Follow the same procedure but this time create a smaller ellipse near the top of the other circle and slightly to the left. Also fill it with black.

Add another Smaller Circle

Step 4

With both of your circle layers selected press ctrl+t (transform) and then while altering the top left vertex press ctrl+alt which allows you to skew only one side of the pear that is taking shape, move the mouse to the left until it looks like below:

Press Ctrl T and the Press Ctrl Alt to Skew only one angle of the Pear

Step 5
Now Press Ctrl+e to merge the topmost Circle with the Bottom Circle Layer

Make sure Both Circle Layers are merged

Then ctrl+click on the Layer Thumbnail this will generate a selection of your pair logo, go to Select > Modify > Contract and Contract the Selection by 10 pixels Fill that selection with white to come out with the following:

Add in a Middle White Area, kind of like an Oreo Pear

Step 6
Do the same thing as last step except for this time Only Contract by 5 pixels Fill this selection with #31e727 To come out with:

Fill the inner middle area with #31e727

Step 7
The next few steps might be a little confusing but here goes:

ctrl+click the layer thumbnail of the “Green” part of the Pear
Pull out the Elliptical Marquee and Press Alt to do a Substraction Selection and Un-Select the Top Half of your pear
Press Ctrl + Shift + I to invert your selection
Fill the inverted Selection with White

You should come up with something like below, if you find the steps above hard to follow let me know, I might make a video tutorial of this one. but basically you have to make a selection like below: (doesn’t need to be exact) Press ctrl+alt+g while the white layer is selected to mask it to the “Green” Pair Layer.

Do your Best to get this kind of a selection and fill it with White

Step 8
Now you need to change that White Area to a Gradient of White to Transparent you can do this by duplicating the white layer, and then ctrl+clicking the thumbnail to make a selection of that layer, then fill it with a white to transparent gradient with a angle to the left, set the layer mode to “overlay” you should come out with below:

Make a Gradient of White to Transparent, set the Layer Mode to "Overlay"

Step 9
Now you need to add the following Inner Shadow to your “Green” Layer

Apply these Innser Shadow Styles to your Green Layer

Step 10
Add a bunch of similar “Pear Spots” to the top left of your pear, fill them with #23a71c and then Set their Layer Opacity to 60% to come out with:

Add a couple of Spots to the Photoshop, change layer opacity to 60%

Step 11
Use the Pen Tool to create a Stem Like Below:

Use the Pen Tool to create the Pears Stem

Step 12
And finally I added some text for the company, and some shadows around the edges:

Description

In this tutorial we will be creating a Logo with some cool effects and a
professional final look.

Objectives

• Layer Opacities and Styles
• Text Effects
• Blending Options
• Text Reflection

Final Result:

Step 1:

Create a new document 439×153 pixels, fill the background with Black #000000 and
write your text, in my example “Company Name”
(i used the font “Helvetica” for the text).

Step 2:

Let´s put some colour to the text. Fill the word “Company” with #FF9600 and “Name”
with #6B6B6B.

Step 3:

Now we are going to create the reflection. This is done by duplicating the text
layer and going to Edit>Transform>Flip Vertical

Step 4:

Now rasterize the layer (Layer>Rasterize>Text), take the Rectangular
Marque Tool
and select the half part of the layer like this:

Step 5:

Now press Alt+Ctrl+D and write 25 in the box, then press the Delete buttom two
times, Ctrl+D to deselect the layer and change the opacity to 60% (you can play
with this number if you like), you will have the reflection like this:

Step 6:

Select the Text Tool and write the slogan, in my example “your slogan goes here”,
i used the Trebuchet MS font and with a space between each leater to make it
looks better, like this:

Step 7:

Now let´s create a new layer (Ctrl+N) on the top of the text layer (not the
reflection one, the Company Name layer), and let´s select the Elpitical Marquee
Tool. Press D and X to use the White colour and draw an eliptical selection on
the text like this:

Step 8:

Then fill that selection with White (Alt+Backspace), you will have something
like this:

Step 9:

Then press Ctrl+G on the white selection layer to get this:

Step 10:

Then change the opacity to 20% (you can play with this number too), you will get
this:

Step 11:

Finally you can add some symbol to your Logo, i added an orange parrot on the
last “e” of the word Name (i used the Personaliced Shapes to add the parrot),
and finally you will get this:

Conclusion

Well I hope you enjoyed the tutorial, if you have any questions be sure to leave a comment below!

First start by creating a new Photoshop image, 500 x 400 pixels, with a white background. Make a new layer and use the circular marquee to create a selection like below and fill that selection with Black #000000.

Now using the circular marquee tool make two selections like below and press delete to make the circle have divits and breaks.

Make a selection like below, then go to Select > Transform Selection and rotate the selection like the second image, then press delete.

Ok, now create a new layer and ctrl+click on the layer with the black ‘Circles’ to make a selection of that layer, then go to Select > Modify > Contract and contract it by about 5 pixels it should look like below:

Now making sure you are in the new layer use the paintbucket tool to fill the top two “shapes” with #0084B2, the bottom two shapes with #00B4D6, and the top right shape with #EC4E3B.

Now apply the following layer style settings to the layer:

That should produce:

Drop the opacity of the black layer to about 20-30%

Now we need to work on the Logo text I used the font Trebuchet MS below with the text ‘company’ being the color #0074A8 and the text ‘name’ being the color #F57558

Now create a new layer above the ‘Company’ Layer press ctrl+g to make this layer a mask of the layer below (ctrl+alt+g for cs2), use the rectangular marquee tool to make a selection of the top half of the text then pull out the gradient tool, set the color of the gradient to white to transparent and drag from the top to the center of the marquee, like below.

Do the same with the ‘name’ text to produce
