An important note on the Normal Mix node - See how after adding the normal mix the logo turns completely matt? The reason is that the normals are very distorted. To fix it, you're gonna want to set the bottom color to RGB 0, 5 0, 5 1, that being Blender's default flat normal.

2 years later and this video still saves lives.
I was wondering if I could map an overlay texture to a different UV map so I don't have to worry about manually editing the texture to fit the base UV map.
With this video and "How to Bake Textures from One UV Map to Another in Blender", I can not only do that, but also bake my overlay texture back into the base texture to save memory.
Thank you so much!

Brother I LOVE YOU, i've been looking through youtube for an HOUR trying to combine two images and you showed me to make both materials metallic BUT disable it on one of the materials, THANK

That's very interesting !
Didn't know i can use multiple UV maps and in the past i had to struggle to align my icons on my objects... Now that i know having multiple UV maps is possible i can't wait to use them myself !
Thanks for the tutorial !
