Hi guys , hope this is the right section for this.
I am in urget need of a font . its the one that is used in writing the SHOLAY title as seen here



Can someone help me create it ?? I need it sort of urgently.

Cheers
 
If u know a bit of photoshop, then i can help you out..its pretty easy actually..

Btw, Do u want the font style only or the pattern as well?

Something like this??

thanks guys , Ryan , thats a good one , but i need the colour pattern too , as well as the font style , coz the S and O are kinda different than usual......
 
Thr are many ways to attain this effect, but i'll tell u an easy way... I assume u r using PS..

1. Take any image, go to filters > Textures > Stained glass. Select it. The stained glass option window will open. Now u can define the cell size and make sure u keep the border thickness = 1. Click okay. Be aware tht the border color is the foreground color u've selected. (in this case, black). Check the image below.

a) Original..



b) After applying stained glass filter..



2. now go to edit > Define pattern > a pop up will open, give the new pattern a name n click ok.

3. Now open a new blank image...and type in any text. I chose "impact in this case....Click on warp text and choose "bulge"..reduce the 'bend' and increase the vertical distortion a bit...So u'll have something like this...



4. In the layers panel, right click on the text layer and choose "blending options"... Now check Pattern Overlay option in the blending options. As u choose it, a default pattern is applied. Now in the right side, u'll see pattern's window. Remember the pattern we saved?? Its already added there...:D Go ahead and choose the pattern from the drop down list.



And BINGO!! your sholay effect is there.. Adjust the scaling according to ur taste. :)

Also u can add drop shadow in blending properties of the text layer to complete the effect...

So finally u'll get something like this...



Hope, tht helped...:)

Lol..i've got no work today...:p
 
cool man....thats brilliant....just one last thing as i had mentioned , i found that the font is similar to the one mentioned in the link by Kumar , ie the Comicraft Dropcase font...can anyone help me find a free version of a similar font , or help me create one ???
 
I'm sorry, i dont know whr to get tht font..but this is the closest i cud get with tinkering the fonts in PS..:p



Btw, wots so gr8 about this font?? :p U can try ur own variations too...:p
 
actually the place i m gonna use this is based on the sholay theme , .... btw which font did u use in the last pic ??? it seems nearly the same......
 
Check the attachment for the font..its got a weird name, "Vipnagorgialla"..:lol:
Neways, i had to tweak it to match the font in tht poster...the horizontal scaling was reduced and the vertical scaling was increased, along with the 'bulge' warp text...

you also need to click the text layer, right click and go to "blending options" and you need a gradient overlay, with the gradiant being from "red - orange - yellow"
or just "red - yellow" and the one logo you came up with, good job, just remove the black stroke and increase opacity of the drop shadow a bit.
 
ok forget that: heres what to do.

open a file in ps, type "sholay" with the appropriate font (i used the one Private_Ryan provided, thanks dude) and click on the "create warped text" icon circled in red in the screenshot.


these are the settings i used for the "warped text"


after pressing "OK" you have your warped text. then press "Ctrl+T" to go into free transform mode. this is where you go wild, drag and increase the height of the text layer, i also squashed it a little bit.


after you're done with that. click "Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay" and click on the gradient which has been circled in red.


input these settings in the gradient box

then we add some drop shadow: check the image to see the settings i used.


theres the basic text done. now you click "layer>duplicate layer".


in the layer box, you'll see the duplicate layer. right click on in. and press "clear layer style", after that, right click on it, and press "rasterize layer"
after that is done, press Ctrl+I to invert text colour to white.

then, go to Filter> Texture > Stained Glass. dabble around in the settings to get a decent effect.


finally, change the blending mode to either "darken" or "multiply". see pic for reference.


and voila.
