[Faun]

is that a problem ?
I guess Vista logos are popular

[MetalheadGautham]

wrong section. After over 3000 posts you are still not familiar as to where things must be posted.
I guess all M$ fanboys are like that, that way they can match with their OS

yeah, the orb just doesn't have 'that' look.

the first orb is aweful, the second can still pass...but try finding the type in ur avatar

[Gigacore]

Anyways I guess this the image u want. I am not in Windows now...so will look into it later in PS.
But from the look it seems that the main Windows Vista logo(inside the circle) has been Radial blurred(zoom mode) many times and then played with layer opacities and blending modes. Try it.

[iMav]

yes that image is the 1 that comes at the vista startup bt the size is too small of the original .... i will try the radial blur method tonite and will see how close i get thanks for th help

@devil & ravi: thank u

[ax3]

many wsites have a tutorial on vista orbs & imo, on this forum 2 ......

[blueshift]

iMav, I tried in Photoshop and came up with this.


I radial blurred the inside logo many times(initially in draft...then final to good or excellent). Put the layer in Pin light mode. Also using Liquify tool, I made outer strokes on that duplicated logo layer..then followed the previous process of radial blur again.
For the glow I created white filled circle overlapping it. Then made fill opacity to 0%. Then applied Inner Shadow settings with blue color in Overlay mode. or you can also use Dodge tool.
I have uploaded PSD for your reference.
