Making reflections in GIMP
What you need:

  • A transparent logo
  • GIMP

1. Open the file.

2. Duplicate the layer.

A layer should appear in the Layers dialog:

3. Using the Move tool, move the new layer below the old one.

4. Flip the layer horizontally.

5. Rotate the layer 180 degrees.

6. Create a layer mask.

It should be all white.

7. Select the gradient tool, with the gradient as a White>Black.

8. Drag a gradient from the top of the lower logo to about the middle.

It should look like this:

9. Apply the layer mask.

10. Merge the layer down.

11. There should be one layer left. Save the file as a .PNG.
