Add Classic Metal Text Effect PSD to your toolkit if you work on a headline or a logo a lot.
Useful for poster designers as much as for game 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
What licence does it come with?
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.
