Create an Engraved Wood Logo in Photoshop

Learn how to create an engraved effect in Photoshop from this easy to follow Adobe Photoshop tutorial. You can replace the logo used in the tutorial with your own logo, with any font type, any text size, any vector shape, etc. And of course the wood texture can be replaced with any other wooden surface or with other textures like stone, leather, etc. For this tutorial I choose to show you how to create an engraved burnt wood effect in Photoshop but this effect can be applied just as well on other surfaces.

In this quick tutorial we will create an engraved burnt wood effect in Photoshop. You can use any type of layer, text shape and raster. For this tutorial I will use a combination of text and shapes, an insignia badge that you can download it for free here. The badge can be edited and customize with your own text and shapes.

To start you have to choose a nice looking wood texture ; I will pick a vintage rustic wood.

Let's add some adjustment layers to make the wood more vintage and old looking. First add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment and second add a Hue/Saturation adjustment to decrease the saturation level.

Time to add your logo, badge, insignia, etc. I will use a retro insignia that I made; you can download the retro insignia badge PSD for free. It is fully layered editable insignia badge that you can customize.

You can also choose one of these amazing premium retro badge insignias PSD files and customize them with your own text, logo, etc. These premium files come fully layered, fully editable, with vector shapes as PSD files.

Add the insignia in a new layer above the Wood texture layer. I have converted all the badge layers in a smart object ; it will be easier to edit.

As you can see the badge and the texture have different perspective. The insignia has a fron view and the wood texture is inclined. For that we'll use the Edit>Transform>Distort to change the perspective for the Insignia layer.

Now all we have to do is to add the following layer styles to create the engrave wood effect and also the burnt wood effect.

So here is the final result for the engraved burnt wood logo made in Photoshop using basic layer styles. You can easily replace the wood texture with any other texture like stone, leather, etc.

Sewing Embroidery Effect in Photoshop

Stitching and sewing can be created also in Photoshop with very realistic results. So in this tutorial we'll create a embroidered logo using only layer styles and of course a fabric material. I chose a denim fabric texture but you can of course choose any fabric you want. If you change the material automatically you will have to adjust also all the layer styles. Here are some other Photoshop stitch tutorials and brushes that you might also like.

Step 1
For the background you can choose any type of linen texture; I will use one of these jeans textures ; make sure you adjust the texture to obtain a dark denim background otherwise the embroided text will not look good.

Step 2
For creating the embroidery effect we need a font type that looks good on that kind of sewing effect. You can embroid any kind of image but for this tutorial I will use a text. So for the embroidery text I will pick this free calligraphy font type called Mardian . Download the font type and install new font in Photoshop like shown in this tutorial.

Step 3
Convert the Text Layer(s) into a smart object ; you may have more than one text layer so you have to select all of them and turn into a smart object. Call this new layer Embroidery 1. Make two more copies of this layer and call them Embroidery 2 and Embroidery 3.

Step 4
For each smart object we will add different layer styles and other effects like smart filters. So let's start with the Embroidery 1 layer; we'll create a pressed effect using these styles:

Step 5
The pressed jeans effect should now look like this:

Step 6
Go to the next layer, Embroidery 2, and add a Pattern Overlay using a pixel pattern with oblique stripe lines. Also you have to reduce the Fill to 0%

Step 7
Convert the Embroidery 2 layer again into a smart object. Add the following layer styles to create the embroided effect. You can pick whatever color you like for the Color Overlay effect. You can also add a Ripple Filter (Filter>Distort)

Step 8
Go to the next layer, Embroidery 3, and add these layer styles to create an embossed effect.

Step 9
Make a selection using the Embroidery 1 layer (keep the CTRL key pressed and click on the layer thumbnail to make a selection). Go to Select>Modify and choose Expand by 15px.

Step 10
Create a new layer below the Embroidery 1 layer and call it Pressed Effect. Fill the layer with any color; copy the layer styles from the Embroidery 1 layer and paste the styles to the Pressed Effect layer. Your embroided logo should now look like this:

Step 11
For the final touches I have added some stitching and sewing effects using these stitch brushes . I have also resized all the text layers to 110% to create a more realistic embroidery.

Step 12
To make the jeans and embroidery effect more realistic you can add a crumpled paper texture in a new layer above all the other ones; set the blend mode to Overlay or Color Burn, depending on the texture. Set the opacity to a level that creates a soft result.

Step 13
I have also increased the contrast of the entire image and sharpen the result. So here you have the embroided text effect made from scratch in Photoshop. Hope you like it.
