Candy Text Effect PSD is a free text effect for a logo and a thumbnail title.
Useful for YouTubers as much as for poster designers. One thing worth knowing: short words with bold letterforms carry text effects best. Long sentences lose the effect.
It’s worth keeping a few good text effects in your library for quick jobs where you don’t have time to make one from scratch.

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.
Do I need the same font?
The effect works with any font, but the look in the preview depends on the font the author used. If it's missing, Photoshop will ask you to replace it.
How do I change the text?
Text effects usually sit in a smart object. Double-click it, type your word, save, and the effect updates in the main file.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Pixeden gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
