Real Logo	Created Using Photoshop

Step1: Click here to download the shape and brush set I used to create the logo. Now create a new image 800 x 600, and set the background color to white. Create a new layer by pressing (SHIFT+CTRL+N) or click on Layer New Layer... Use the shape that you downloaded to create the shield, change the color to #00549b. It should look like my image below.

Now hold CTRL and click on the shield layer to select it. When it is selected it should look like the image below.

Click on Select Modify Contact and change the contact to 8 pixels.

Now click on the Rectangular Marquee Tool make sure the Subtract From selection is selected . With the shield still selected subtract the selection until your image looks like mine below.

Step2: With your selection still selected create a new layer, Layer New Layer... Click on the Paint Bucket and fill the selection with white #FFFFFF. At this point your image should look like the screen shot below.

Create a new layer; we need to add the stars. Click on the Brush Tool and select the Star brush make sure the dimension is set to 19 pixels. Change the color to white and start adding the stars. Create three stars on different layers as shown below. To make it a little simple after creating the three stars as shown in my example, highlight the stars layers and press CTRL+E to merge the layers. Now just duplicate (CTRL+J) that layer to add more stars. When you are satisfied with the stars and their positions, merge then all into one layer.

Step3: Now we will add the Football in the middle of the stars. Create a new layer by pressing (SHIFT+CTRL+N) or click on Layer New Layer... Using the brushes that you downloaded at the beginning. Click on the brush below, and set the dimension to 61 pixels.

When you add the ball it will be a little transparent, as shown in the image below.

Hold ctrl and click on the Layer with the ball to select it, using the paint bucket fill the selection with white #FFFFFF. Your image should look like the example below.

We need to add a Stroke to the ball, right click on the ball layer and click Blending Options and add the setting below.

Step4: You should still see the stars showing up behind the ball. We need to fix this. Hold CTRL and click on the ball layer to select it, as shown below.

At this point your image should look like the example below I hope.

Now to add the text which I provided to you in the download. Create a new layer, click on the Brush tool , change the brush color to #db2228, and place the text so your image looks like the example below.

That is it; hope it came out to what your expected.
