![[GIMP] Create a Glossy Logo 16hsy2h](https://2img.net/h/oi51.tinypic.com/16hsy2h.jpg) Difficulty: Beginner Time: 5 Minutes | Resources: - 130 Ultimate Web 2.0 Gradients for GIMP
If you don't know how to install gradients, you will have to read
this tutorial

- Step 1 - New Image:
- Create a new image. Approximately 400*125.

- Step 2 - Adding Text:
- Grab the text tool, and stretch across the ends of the canvas. Enter your text, and then center it.

- Step 3 - Selecting Text:
- Create a new layer and name it "Gradient - Name". Now right click on the layer with text, and select "Alpha to Selection". This will select your text.

- Step 4 - Gradient Text:
- Make sure you are on the layer "Gradient - Name". Drag a gradient from the bottom of the text to the top. Make sure it's a straight line.

![[GIMP] Create a Glossy Logo Slk0fp](https://2img.net/h/oi56.tinypic.com/slk0fp.jpg)
I used the gradient entitled "Neon".
After this, you may delete the original text layer.
- Step 5 - Bevel (Optional):
- !! You can skip this step if you don't want a bevel !!
Go to: Layer // Duplicate Layer.
And then: Filters // Decor // Add Bevel. Input the following settings:
![[GIMP] Create a Glossy Logo 6ih5on](https://2img.net/h/oi56.tinypic.com/6ih5on.jpg)
And then hit OK. (A new image will appear. We will work this from now on.)
Rename the new layer "Bevel" and lower the opacity to about 30%

- Step 8 - Drop Shadow:
- Deselect by clicking outside the canvas with the magic wand tool or going to: Select // None.
Go to the layer "Border". Then go to Filters // Light and Shadow // Drop Shadow. Input the following settings and hit OK.
