A brand mark reveal looks better on a metallic shine logo mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that. Because it’s metallic, the material shows through a little, which keeps the result believable.
Useful for branding studios as much as for freelancers on Behance. A small tip: use CMYK-friendly colours in the artwork itself, even though the mockup is RGB, so what the client sees is close to print.
Logo reveals like this are usually the first image in a branding case study, so it’s worth getting the material right.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Graphicsfamily. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
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.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
Will my artwork look printed or pasted on?
Most print mockups keep the paper texture and lighting on separate layers above your design, so it takes on the grain and shadows. If it still looks too clean, lower the opacity of your artwork a little.
Why does the download open another website?
We list free files from designers around the web and link to the original page, so Graphicsfamily gets the visit and you get the file exactly as they published it.
