This first step is easy; find a picture that suits your needs and would be good as a background. It's better to make them square.

Now, you edit the picture to give it those artsy effects like in my logos.  For example, i added color to mine to make the splatter skull turn purple. You can also add special elements, like a flare or a motion blur. This effect gives your logo some spice.

Add a Title to Your Picture

 Now, you add a title with your user name and make it a cool looking font and color. Then, you merge the two layers together to make one.

You're Done!
