1st time using PS, copying tutorials off YT

I have been playing around with photoshop for the first time, exploring its features. I youtube searched for logo tutorials, and tried oneout, here's what I came up with.
Lol yes, I am proper noob, but am enjoying the program!


Its a designbased around a family members business name, meh have to start somewhere. ^_^

1st attempt:


2nd attempt:


Oh well, I plan to practice lots more, there was something quite relaxing doing this ^^

Sharpen the edges btw, you can see some pixelation.

The 1st one is actually quiet good! Nice job for a first attempt.

Have you watched any comprehensive tutorials on the fundamentals of photoshop? If not you should do that first instead of jumping in not know the tool in front of you it can boost your skills quickly.

I know about someof the tools as I used gimp in the past, it's the keyboard shortcuts I am getting to grips with, but from watching tutorials I am learning them!

I like the 2nd one because it actually links with your business unlike the 1st attempt which looks slightly unprofessional.

Nice design. Keep practicing upon it.

Looks cool like a badge or something .

It's cool nice for a first attempt

I like the first one a lot, pretty neat. Good job!
