Presenting a small logo? Put it on this floating pens mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Corporate merch teams and hotels tend to get the most out of files like this. Quick tip: keep your artwork simple. Small objects shrink details quickly, so a bold mark reads better than fine lines.
It’s a nice extra slide in a branding presentation, after the logo and the main applications. Group it with other merch mockups for a branded items slide.
Works well for
- A small logo
- A hotel pen
- Corporate merch branding

What’s inside the Floating Pens Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Logo or artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows
- Object colour, where included
Add your design to the Floating Pens Mockup
- Simplify the design a little; fine details get lost on small objects.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
One more thing: change the background colour to your brand palette; it does more for the final image than people expect.

Questions about this mockup
Is it free for commercial use?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Can I change the background?
Most object mockups have a background colour or image layer at the bottom of the stack that you can swap.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so GraphicPear gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
