<p>I am working on a logo for my company. We install sprinkler systems so I want to add a few rain drops to my logo.</p>

<p>First thing you will need to do is use the Pen Tool to create a rain drop shaped path. <img src="http://i33.tinypic.com/29mnes9.jpg" alt="alt text" /></p> <p>Make a simple triangle then use the Convert Point Tool to turn the triangle into a rain drop. Don't worry about making the perfect rain drop just get a decent outline. </p> <p><img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/142svhl.jpg" alt="alt text" /> <img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/jjb6gm.jpg" alt="alt text" /></p> <p>When you have a decent rain drop goto Edit > Define Custom Shape... and save your shape. Now it should be stored with all the other custom shapes. Switch to the Custom Shape Tool (U) and click on the Shape drop down and select your rain drop.</p> <p><img src="http://i33.tinypic.com/73js75.jpg" alt="alt text" /></p> <p>Set your foreground color to white, create a new layer, then draw as many rain drops as you want; they can be any shape or size. Once you have your raindrops, open the Layer Style window and edit the Color Overlay and Inner Shadow. I used the exact same color for both effects then adjusted the opacities until I was happy. </p> <p><img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/2h7ge86.jpg" alt="alt text" />.</p>
