psp or photoshop help?

Hey can an image editing master help me out with something? I would be mighty thankful.

I wanna get the "Top Secret Stamp Effect" applied to the "BACKUP" text on my website banner. You know how in military movies when the general stamps a classified document folder with the Top Secret stamp? Bleh my description sucks so I'll just show some examples.

Kinda like this but less cartoony and with a rectangle around all the text.

Like this too.

My skills are sorta really super limited so this is all I have so far.

Thanks in advance.

Well the marking on boxes is done with a stencil, so if I were you I would browse the web and look for a stencil font like this one:

http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/F/...10012000.jhtml

The one above costs $29, so I would just look at the free font sites to see if you can locate one similarly. Then all you would have to do is add it to your font library, and voila. Official military looking stenciling type writing. Or whatever it's called.

Hope that helps.

Oh yeah duh. Just look for a new font. I must learn how to think.

I think I found one that looks nice. It's not the military-style that I wanted but I think it works...

Damnit I'm seriously kicking myself right now for being so dumb.

No worries 'wird that wasn't a bad question at all. For one thing there are probably peeps out there who are wondering the same thing, but aren't really sure how easy it is. Consider yourself cool for helping them out
