This LOGO looks more textured, with the text extending outwards and not rigidly attached to the web page. If you look carefully, you will easily find that the brightkite text uses color "gradients". Yes, the text The colors are not monochrome fills, but "gradients". Why does "gradient" look more textured? This is because it simulates the effect of natural lighting, that is, the highlight part is above the text, and the low light is below .At the same time, don’t overlook another detail, which is the “shadow” of the text.
So how to do it?
Pay attention to numbers 2 and 3 in the picture. If you still don’t know how to add a gradient, please double-click the blank space to the right of “Layer Name” in the layer panel, or click the second button in the picture below (in the layer panel below) to open the Styles panel.

The shadow is still the same. Click "Shadow" on the left side of the style panel, and then set it as shown below:
