: : : Hey, I really like alot of the Indiana Jones-ish logos being made. Does anyone know how to make them in Adobe Photoshop? I am very fluent with the program, as I have taken many classes on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

: Wouldn't it be easier to get the "transitional" look using Photoshop's Gradient tool? Once you choose your starting and ending colors, you can use a linear gradient and adjust the midpoint to your liking.

: Select the text, then shrink the selection so only the letterforms are selected. Then use the Gradient tool to apply the gradient.

Hi Zippy,

You could use the gradient tool as you describe, I just found it fun to
draw the color transition free-hand :-).
