[QUOTE=FrostyN;44037986]Hope someone makes a holographic stickers tutorial so I can delve deeper into sticky business.[/QUOTE]
It isn't all that hard, even though I haven't tried it. This is going off how I think it works, which doesn't seem that complicated to me.
First, make the sticker as per usual. Then make a new copy of it for a holographic version. It is best if every component you want to hologram is its own thing for easy editing.
Start with editing the Blue channel, since it'll be the easiest to understand. All that does is changes the holo color based on the brightness of the blue channel.

In this instance, as it explains, anything white in the Blue channel will load a color from the bottom of the spectrum. Anything darker will move up the spectrum, with black being the very top. Effectively, you could create your own color scheme for the spectrum to fine tune it to whatever colors you want, which is great for things that wouldn't look good in some colors or if you want something more appealing. Very easy channel to mess with first for this reason.
Next, the green channel.

This channel is just offsetting the hologram colors. The outside border has a pattern to it to give it a more textured look, and the lines in "BISH" also give it a slight effect. Anything black here will not have a strong shine to it at all, which is great for shadows or elements you don't want highly visible (typically backgrounds).
Finally, the red channel.
[img]http://media.steampowered.com/apps/csgo/blog/images/workshop/stickers/bish_holomask_red.png[/img]
Best way to put it: anything white will have the spectrum colors overwrite its own color from the base sticker, anything darker will have it only overlay the color on top of it, while black does nothing to the original sticker colors.

As you can see, the white outline on the red channel causes the entire outer sticker to be colored with the spectrum colors. The darker "BISH" in the red channel keeps the text red, but still overlays the spectrum colors over it, with a much stronger influence on the bottom of the text.
Probably not a good way to explain it, but I have not really toyed with it much myself. There really isn't a need for a tutorial since you can make your own holographic patterns that look nice, but understanding what does what is a good start. Hope it helps just a little.
EDIT: It'll probably help if I use a custom design to explain the process, so I'm working on it myself right now.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. A well-written, easy-to-understand explanation. Kudosu.
I have been pissing around with some ideas I had. I like it so far

Is that a funky-colored Fort 12 with a magazine for a front grip and an extended barrel? Because it does looks like a Fort 12... even though there's nothing even close to a Fort 12 in CSGO.

You just mistook a CZ75 for a Fort-12...
It's like being mistaken between a Ferrari 76 45 and a Ferrari F430. :)
The major difference would be that the 76 45 isn't better than the F430...
But really, the CZ75 is a classic. The ejection port should've given it away.

I took the line thing on the slide in mind. Played lots of Stalker, so I know only the Fort 12 has it.

That's an external extractor. Lots of pistols have one.
Made a guide on creating stickers.
Valve's guide is pretty good but I think it focuses more on people who know their way around already.
Hopefully this will help out beginners and stuff.

Looks like this.

Well that's an immensely boring sticker... I hope there should be something more to it?
Not that it's not nice, or not well done, but as a sticker... It doesn't have a punchline.

Dude, I made it for fun and I'd just like to see it in game at least. It would take literally 5 minutes to make into a working sticker.
Did some simple sticker:

A interesting thing to point out is that counterfeit ID's use stuff like LEGIT or SECURE on the holo to trick the person checking it.

Anywhere I can get some weapon uv's with a transparent background? The valve ones have a black background and it's kinda hard to work with unless someone has any tips.
