Make your own Google Logo (Photoshop Tutorial)
Here’s a light one to make a logo similar to that of Google.
Required: Catull Font, the official Google font. I don’t have the exact Catull font so I used Catull BQ. If you don’t have that, you can use Book Antiqua.
Step 1: Create a new document with a white background, any size. Type a name or logo, whatever.
Step 2: Select each letter of the Logo and give them colour properties of:
Letter 1: #3364C3
2: #F31903
3: #F7D727
4: #3364C3
5: #44C406
6: #F31903
[If you have more letters in your logo, just repeat the whole order]
Step 3: Go to Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options. Give the following settings for “Drop Shadow� and “Bevel and Emboss�
Step 4: Take your Horizontal Type Tool again and type the word “TM� with the font Times New Roman. Also, type a small little slogan below the logo with the Arial Font. Change the Opacities of the “TM� and “Slogan� layers to around 40% and 60% respectively.
You’re done!

It seems distorted because I am not a very big Photoshop Expert.
How to do font Smoothing?
Do you think Goobimama has a trademark?

Thanks for all the comments folks.
Anyway, I think Navjotsingh isn't using the right font. Its very thick(bold?). Also, the letters are very closely spaced. try and space them out...Actually, try and get the official google font....catull.

I don't know if I'm allowed to spell it out. But I got mine through p2p (shareaza).
Cool avatar by the way. I always liked the sony ericsson logo.

No I did not use font smoothing.Even Goobi hasn't mentioned it anywhere in his tut.I guess Navjot goofed it up somewhere bcoz of which the font appears distorted.

Incidentally, I am using "Sharp" as the method of anti aliasing (Its on your options bar when you select the text tool). Though, I don't think it would affect the effect to such a degree. I think Navjot is using Book Antiqua BOLD....Its very thick....
