              Lol, you already know how to do that.

              Select the logo, create a new layer, fill it black, blur it, reduce the opacity, then offset it.

                  Or just double click on the layer and use all of the fun options to make the shadow... You have a lot of posts though so I'm assuming you already know this

                      is there a tutorial somewhere I can look at? Or maybe better yet, a professor I could speak with?

                                  Just select the freehand tool, draw a lasso around the part of the logo you want highlighted, then hit the drop shadow effect tool and drop'r in there hoss.

                                  Make sure there's fresh batteries in your cordless mouse.

                                  Oh, and take your time lassoing it. One shakey hand tremor and it's game over baby.

                                  lol :D

                                          drop shadows are worthless with out a bevel and embossed lens flare.

                                                  I hire 3rd world villagers to do this work for me.

                                                  One day, I hope to be able to afford someone as good as a designer or 2 in this thread. Not that I would do it, as I can still get sales using the villagers.
