STEP 7. (OPTIONAL) I, then, used the text tool to write "RYDER" in all caps in Georgia pt 7 with anti alias checked. and rotated the text to fit in the line I made with the scribble brush.
Icon thus far:
STEP 8. (OPTIONAL) Then, I took an orangey-red color from the icon (#E33601) and used it to do a drop shadow on the text. Effects -> 3D effects -> drop shadow
Settings:
Icon thus far:
STEP 9. Next, I made a new layer (Normal 100), put a 1px black border around it using a border brush I made
