Signature Stop, Photoshop signature tutorials, renders, tag tutorials and signature backgrounds!

Welcome to this tutorial. This tag was designed by Scalper, we will be featuring more of his great work very soon, this is one of his simple yet effective cinema4d tags. To create this tag, you will need a few cinema4d renders. You can find plenty in our resources section. You will also need a pattern, which I will provide in this tutorial. The result of this tag tutorial:

The pattern we will use is (copy this pattern and paste it on a new file, then select Edit > Define Pattern):

1. Create a new file, and fill it with a dark greyish color:

2. On a new layer, fill a section of the top with the pattern I provided in the previous step.

3. Set this layers blending mode to overlay and reduce the opacity to 30%:

4. Create a new layer, and start brushing with a hard brush. Use a few different colors, and turn on airbrush to create some different colors. Smudge this with a splatter brush or other sharp type of brush. Sharpen whatever you end up with. Our result at this point:

5. Repeat the previous step, and texture some more in the background:

6. One more time to fill most of the background:

7. Make a selection horizontally across your canvas, and fill this with white. Divide the image like shown below:

8. Create the same effect vertically:

9. Add a cinema4d render effect on the canvas. Remove parts that cross the horizontal line we’ve made. Set this layers blending mode to Linear Dodge:

Blending mode set to Linear Dodge:

10. Repeat the previous step, add a render, remove the area on top of the horizontal line, and set it to linear dodge:

The result after setting the layer to Linear Dodge:

11. Add a render in the bottom left section of the canvas, and remove the areas outside of the lines. Change this layers blending mode to Linear Dodge again:

Layer set to Linear Dodge:

12. Select your gradient tool, and use the eyedropper tool to select some good looking colors on your canvas. Create a gradient, and remove everything outside of the bottom left section. Our result:

13. Add some more cinema4d renders, and remove some of it.

Set its layer mode to linear Dodge:

14. Add another cinema4d render, and use the eraser tool to remove parts of the render again. We’re going to set the layer mode to lighten:

Set this layer to Lighten:

15. Repeat the previous step, set the layers blending mode to Lighten:

16. Add a render to the bottom right section of the tag. Use the burn or dodge tool to make it match and blend into the side.

17. Add a texture to the bottom right section, and remove the outlines:

18. This step is optional. Create your text, and create some effect around it if you like.

19. Grab a splatter brush, and tap once on a new layer. We’re going to add a clipping mask to it.

20. Apply the image on a new layer, and either press CTRL + ALT + G, or select Layer > Create Clipping Mask, then move the render around.

This brings us to our final result:
