putting company sign on building and making it look 3D

Hi, i'm trying to help visualize a sign on the building

I have successfully put this sign on the building
However, I would like the sign to look a bit 3D:

Here is without sign

with logo

what effect would i use to get it looking like 3D letter on the building?

TEKDesign

Well, if you want to keep it simple just use the shadow and emboss effects in the layers tool in Photoshop. This would be a quick and dirty way to do it and it can be improved by which effects you use to achieve the 3D look.

If you want a more refined 3D look. Then use any of the many 3D rendering tools out there (3D Studio Max, Maya, Blender, etc.) and create a 3D logo that you can then import into Photoshop and layer onto the photo. Blender is free and very capable. Any 3D software you use will have a bit of a learning curve but it is the only way to get a true 3D look.
