1. font name: Brush Script MT + stroke + minor color overlay
size varies on each icon ;d

Well to make shape of this icon you need those shape tools on transparent background so u have clear background and also to have hero faces only you need to cut them with pen tool or magic stick tool but it is harder

Yea thats the name of shape tool ( absence from ps makes me sick) but make sure it is on transparent background :) because you will get either black or white background if you know what i mean :)

did like that but when i add the render and add effects,its like they r behind that recktangle...
And when i want to change the render size,it selects the recktangle even tho they r 2 dif layers(selected with ctrl+d)

maybe you made vector mask ?
just make this rectangle like any other layer, or use one which i uploaded few posts above in same way as a render.

2 ways
1st - cut this lina render to fit layer below her (pixel by pixel)
2nd - right click on lina layer and create clipping mask.

2nd way is one click wonder, but u will have problems with further editing, considering ur PS skills xD
no offense xd
