Thanks, Rep, And Nominate if you liked this tutorial.

Also, if requested, I'll make a video tutorial.

PS: I couldn't find the exact font that they use for the 2 in the actual logo. If someone can find it, It would be much appreciated.

I followed your tut and this is my outcome :

You forgot to make the 2 layer below the modern warfare 2.

Drag the layer underneath the mw text layer and problem solved.

Thankyou for this post.

Then thank and rep

Nice tut but you should do a tut on how to do the dripping text in your sig.

LOL everyone asks me to so I'l probably make the tut one day

Nice guide but where are the sideway scan lines, and the lime green glow?

download the mw2 number's font, it's a stencil...

In the photo I was recreating, there were none. I can always add to the tutorial though.
