Every metallic surface has a base color to it that is then affected by its having a slick, semi-reflective surface.
As a purely solid color, gold does not appear "gold" but rather somewhat of a mustard seed or yellow ochre. In order to get a metallic effect, you must do one of the two options:
1. Model or render it to give the type a metallic finish (hilights, shadows, reflections, etc.) or
2. When it comes to printing the logo, only use metallics. Refer to your Pantone metallics swatch book for the proper color, of course. If you print only four-color, it will appear quite dull unless you bling the crap out of it—at which point it will look quite cheesy.And if you need to outsource it, feel free to send it over. I'll be happy to help.

as a cymk breakdown? or as a visual effect?
- inteliboy0
noise + gradient - rather then that marbly texture - works well.

as a CMYK breakdown,
working on a logo which needs to be gold,
but all it looks like is a fake finish
