1. How to Make a Logo Look Vintage Using Smart Filters

Step 1

Let's start by setting up a new document with a size of 1000 x 1000 px.

Creating a new document

Step 2

Go to File > Place and put your logo inside the document.

Step 3

Right-Click on the layer and select Convert to Smart Object.

Step 4

Now let's try to add a few smart filters to create our vintage logo design. Go to Filter > Distort > Ripple and set the Amount to -45% and Size to Medium. This will make our logo look a bit greased.

Step 5

After that, let's go to Filter > Noise > Median and set the Amount to 2 px. Don't set the amount to higher values as this will make your logo look blurry.

This is how our logo will look with the filters applied:

2. How to Create a Vintage Logo Design Effect in Photoshop Using Textures

Step 1

Place the "Vintage Texture" file from the texture pack above the logo, and change the Blend Mode of the texture to Multiply.

Step 2

As you can see, the texture is applied to the whole document. If you want to apply the texture only to the logo, Right-Click on the layer and select Create a Clipping Mask.

Step 3

Let's go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast and set the Brightness to -50 and Contrast to 35.

Step 4

Now we'll make a dust texture from a scanned paper. Place "Old Texture" above all the layers and press Control-I to invert the colors of the texture.

Step 5

After that, change the Brightness to 25 and Contrast to 100.

Step 6

Set the Blend Mode to Screen and Add a Clipping Mask.

Step 7

And finally, place the PNG texture above all the layers and Create a Clipping Mask. What I love about a PNG texture is that you can easily change its color. Double-Click on the layer, select Color Overlay, and set any color you like.

This is how our logo texture Photoshop effect will look:

3. How to Create a Vintage Photoshop Look Using Color Correction Layers

Step 1

Now let's add a few color correction layers to make our logo look even more vintage. Go to Layer > New Adjustments Layer > Hue/Saturation and set the Saturation to -20 and Lightness to +5.

Step 2

And for the last step here, create a Brightness/Contrast adjustments layer and set the Brightness to -5 and Contrast to 25.
