Step 1 Start out with a 400x300 black background. Select the Elipse Tool and set fixed size to 120px x 120px. Remember it's px, the default is in inches so you have to replace it to px.
Step 2 Change foreground color to #FFFFFF and in a new layer, use the elipse tool to create a 120x120 circle.
Step 2 Apply this layer style settings.

Step 5 First shape will be a white circle, create a circle using the elipse tool. You might want to set the elipse option to unconstrained so you can control the size.
Step 6 Next will be a smooth white triangle. Select the Polygon Tool then edit the polygon options and set sides to 3.

Tricks Here are the final logos using all of the elements in this tutorial. Experiment with the positions of the shapes to make your logo unique from mine.
