A couple logo requests using - Reflection and Transparent, (completed)

Hi,
I would like to have new logos for fast dial, in the format listed within the subject for the following sites:
Also, I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for your guys' help. Thanks for the great service and quick responses to logo requests, I admire how the good the quality you guys provide, giving my fast dial page a nice professional look.
I'm hesitating on adding http://yootheme.org/ as my third request, since I've been using for my first practice project. However, after a couple failed attempts to produce anything close to the look of what I get from here. I figured since their site offers a reflection type of service for graphic files in their templates, i would be able to start off easy with some extracted logo from their site...but the more I spend time on it, the more I realize how much more practice I need. =)
I tried using the WTF site to check the font they are using in Yootheme.com, but it gives me a several different options as which font that they are using. Anyways, if the third site request for, http://yootheme.com, does not require too much more time and effort, I would like to have that as well. i will probably also use it towards my long time work in progress attempt, and use it as a reference.
thanks!
Here you

Submitted by mikwalker on Wed, 12/23/2009 - 23:29Wow, nice! Thanks a lot, I love the added glow & bevel effect =)
You guys are awesome. I tried doing the yootheme one, but couldn't get the right font looking as they do. I tried to reccreate it starting with the same font using What The Font (WTF) at http://new.myfonts.com/. But the results showed many dfferent font possiblilties. I tried a couple, but couldn't get it looking right, the other ones that were listed in the result was not a part of my CS4 Illustrator set. However, this site has link to sale you the fonts that they match, but I unfortuneately, I can't afford them, especially on top of what CS4 collection costs by itself.
Great job again, you did exacly what Ihad in mind, plus making i\t even better with the glow and bevel touch. If you don't mind could you very briefly describe the stes you did tyo produce a logo, for example, the Yootheme one, I would reallluy appreciated it, buy only if you have the freetime, I'm already so impressed by the threee you did for me as well as greatly impreciated for them. You guys are great!!!
Thanks,
Mike

It's not hard doing logos like these. For this I used Photoshop CS3.
First I got a original logo image with nice resolution (this one), used the magic wand tool to remove the red background. That's waaay easier than searching for the original font. Then I added some layer effects (bevel, glow and gradient), nothing special at all, until the final result was ok. Copy and paste this layer, free transform the new layer to flip it vertically, adjust the position, add a layer mask and create a gradient for the reflection effect. And that's it! Nice and simple.

Once you identify the font it's easy to search your collection, install the font and use it in your favorite image editor.
I have around 4 GB of fonts waiting to be used ;)

Where is a good place to download font packs? I wanted to try doing http://www.tutorial9.net/, but I found that the font was bleeker and fishmonger. I tried getting the fonts, but couldn't find anywhere to download them for free.
Thanks for your help :)
