The Logos of Web 2.0 There is no official standard for what makes something “ Web 2.0 ”, but there certainly are a few tell-tale signs. These new sites usually feature modern web technologies like Ajax and often have something to do with building online communities. But even more characteristic among these brands is their appearance.
Here is an extensive tutorial on how you can create a great looking web 2.0 logo (like the one above that I created for the tutorial). Open Adobe Photoshop and create a new file (file>new): 4500×4000 pixels at 300dpi is a nice resolution to choose if you want your logo to be printable. It will be nice to choose this resolution also for this tutorial to have the same output with stroke points and other blending options that are affected by image size. Choose the type tool and type anything you want in uppercase (I typed Typpz as you see ). Duplicate the layer (right click on the type layer you created>duplicate layer). Choose the new Type Copy layer (in my case Typpz Copy as I typed Typpz) and right click>blending options.
