That is a solution, although i dislike that you have to make another gradient.

Because in the PS version, the colors are generated automatically?

What PS version ?
I made my version with Gimp and without a gradient.

Yes, Clone Layer Tool.


What are the layermasks in your effect for ? I cant see it properly, the screenshot is so small.

Apparently the logo comes from an anime, so i wouldnt be surprised if it was handdrawn.
