In this tutorial, you will learn to create metallic Transformers Logo using Photoshop. I decided writing this tutorial after I watched Transforrmers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen. You will know that the process of making metallic Transformers logo is not too hard. I believe you will learn a lot from this tutorial.

1. First download several files below::
- Vector file for Autobot Logo (EPS, RAR) or Vector file for Decepticon Logo (EPS, RAR). You can choose to create Autobot logo or Decepticon logo. Note: This tutorial only shows you how to create Decepticon Logo.
- Metal texture image (JPG). This is not the best texture for creating Transformers Logo, but this is the best I can found so far.

2. Open Photoshop. Choose File>Open. Open Decepticon EPS file. Use 350x400pixel, 72 dpi, RGB mode. From top menu, choose Image>Adjustment>Invert to change its color to white.

Enlarge canvas (Image>Canvas Size). Use 120 percents x 120 percents.

In Layers Palette, create new layer. Rename this layer 'background'. (To rename, just double click at layer name). Position this layer at the bottom. Fill this layer with black color.

3. Open metal texture image and drag into document. Press Ctrl+T, then rotate and resize metal texture. When finished, press Enter.

4. Next, we need to change texture color into greenish color. Create new layer. Fill with greenish color (R=54, G=75, B=70). Change its blending mode to Color.

Next, select both texture and color layer(hold Ctrl while selecting both layers), and right click at these selected layers. Choose Merge Layers. Rename this combined layer to 'base texture'.

5. Make sure 'base texture' layer is selected. Ctrl+click at Layer 1 icon to load selection. Then click Add Layer Mask to create a masking.
