I've recently designed a number of logos for a client pitch, one of which was picked. Whilst working at a pitch level everything was relatively small scale, so now i've come to the part of working up a hi-res master version of this chosen design.

The small scale pitch logo used an 'inner bevel' layer style (layer >>> layer style >>> bevel and imboss >>> inner bevel) to create a kind of shiny ball effect on a round circle. Depth and Size options were max'ed out to get the full roundness effect of a ball... looked great. BUT, when i come to re-create the hi-res master logo (500mm x 500mm @300dpi) the maximum depth and size that the inner bevel options palette allows are not great enough at this scale to achieve the same roundness, the result is a flat circle with slightly round edges!

Any solutions?? I've tried overlaying a spherical gradient to achieve the same effect but its just not the same.

Maybe you should use Illustrator for large format..

If you are doing Logos for clients do them at the size needed from the getgo, to prevent this problem. You are best doing them in Illustrator from the start as you can take them into Photoshop anytime you need to.

A piece of advice, don't show a client anything untill you have all bases covered.
