First draw whatever you want.

Picture
Then click on the fx of the layer with the drawing ( i hope the drawing and the background aren't the same layer =)))

Then click outer glow and using the the noise slider to a big value ( 50-100 for best effect) and then play with the other sliders. Always remember to set the color of the glow the same as the line drawing.

<![CDATA[Tutorial: Cafe Logo]]>Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:59:34 GMThttp://graphiccity.weebly.com/1/post/2012/02/tutorial-cafe-logo.htmlOk... so this is my first tutorial:

How to draw a cup of tea/ coffee as a logo.

I used:
Illustrator CS5 Picture

Step1 : Create an A4 document.

















Picture
Step 2 : Using the ellipse tool (L) draw an oval ..set the stroke to 22 on a dark-brown color with no filling and using the width tool (shown in the image) make the shape more interesting.

Picture
Step 3: Using the pen tool draw the body of the cup , set no stroke and put a brown gradient as a fill.

Picture
Step 4 : Now draw
the handle with the same setting as the body.

Picture
Step 5: Add some light using the pen tool and a empty-white-empty gradient. Make sure you set the opacity less then 50-40.

Picture
Step 6: Add a green-yellowish gradient for the background and some white triangles set to a little opacity in a radial way to look like lights. 

Picture
Step7 :Using the text tool write your text using creative fonts.(P.S.: I hope you know : do NOT use Comic Sans...it is ugly.Just the most ugliest font ever in my opinion and others')

Picture
Step 8 : Using Filter-->3D--->Extrude&Bevel and set it in a nice and ''tiny '' way without too much perspective.

Picture
Step 8 : Add a little black-to-empty gradient

Picture
Here is the result!!!
