In this easy Photoshop tutorial you'll learn how to design a very cool-looking branding iron effect, using the type tool, a few shapes, and a fair few layer style effects. This is my outcome from the tutorial:
Start by creating a new document in Photoshop. Leave all the default settings except for the canvas dimensions, use 700�400 pixels with a black background. Now make a new layer set and name it 'Text Design'.
If you have After Effects and are interested in making a Video with the same Iron Man HUD effect, check out this Tutorial: http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/futuristic_hud/

Create a new layer and then apply on it the Paint Bucket Tool (G) with the color #7D5A3A Select for this layer the next option Filter> Noise>Add Noise Make a copy of this layer, choosing for the copy the selection from here: Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. Place this layer under the previous one (on the layers? palette), setting for the original layer, containing the filter Add Noise, the parameters from below. Fill 20% Blending mode-Overlay Merge Down layers (the copy and the original one) into a single layer (press Ctrl to mark out both layers and press Ctrl+E). Select the next option for the last layer Filter>Render>Lighting Effects. Select the next parameters for the layer: Fill 30% Hide this layer temporary and write the word IRON MAN, keeping the next demonstrated demands: Because of the fact that the text has black color, we need to hide the black background.

Blending Options>Inner Shadow Blending Options>Outer Glow Blending Options>Inner Glow Blending Options>Bevel and Emboss Blending Options>Satin Blending Options>Gradient Overlay Gradient?s parameters: Make visible again the layer with the black background. The text?s layer needs to be placed upper than the background?s layer, but lower than the earlier made layer.

Next we need to combine all the layers composing the text and the two special layers into a group (press Ctrl button to mark out the corresponding layers and hold on the left mouse?s button when moving down the accentuated layers on Create a new group option). Make a copy of the recently got group and the group?s copy need to be rasterized (mark out the group, press Ctrl+E). Place the rasterized group?s layer under original layers (on the layers? palette). Select Free Transform option to turn over the copy. Make a mouse click on the bottom part of the layers? palette on Add a Mask selection.
