3. Hold down the Shift key to constrain the aspect ratio of the custom shape, and drag it out over
the center of the illustration (see Figure 9.31).
4. In the Layers palette, double-click the shape layer thumbnail to open the Color Picker. Select
medium gray (HSB values of 0,0,50). Click OK to close the Color Picker. Change the blend
mode of the Shape 1 layer to Hard Light. The logo disappears because hard light blending
works for grays that differ from medium gray.
5. To make the logo appear dimensional, add a bevel that will create grayscale variation on the
shape layer: Add the Bevel And Emboss layer style effect to the Shape 1 layer. Change Depth
to 300%, Size to 4 px, and Soften to 4 px. Click OK to close the Layer Style dialog box.
