Logo help in Photoshop

I am trying to create my own logo's, borrowing from Church OOTP's medal circle set's background.

So far, most look like this:

I'm mostly using alternative logo's for the minors. As much as I can find them.

My questions is, what effect in photoshop would make them look like truthserum607's, with the shadowing/raising effect?

He's probably using layer effects like drop shadow and outer glow. Against the right background color, you can achieve some very nice effects. But I'm willing to be that the shadowing would be lost against your darker backgrounds.

yeah, I see what you are saying. Might be worth modifying the background color to make it more apparent.

Thanks, by the way. Don't think I'd find that without knowing what it was called.

my first attempt with the shadows, etc.:

any easy way of cleaning up the trim of the border?
