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.

Color Overlay: - Blend Mode: Soft Light + Color: #6D7695 - Opacity: 100%

Gradient Overlay: - Blend Mode: Hard Light - Opacity: 100% - Gradient: Default + Reverse: Check - Style: Diamond + Align with Layer: Check - Angle: -90 - Scale: 150

Stroke: - Size: 2 - Position: Outside - Blend Mode: Normal - Opacity: 100 - Fill Type: Color - Color: #CBCBCB

Step 3 Navigate back to Elipse Option and change the Fixed size setting to 110px 110px. Change foreground color to #000000 then create a 110x110 circle using the Elipse Tool. Place it in the center of the first circle.



Step 4 Apply this settings.

Outer Glow: - Blend Mode: Color Dodge - Opacity: 100% - Noise: 0 + Color: #959AA5 - Technique: Softer - Spread: 0 - Size: 20 - Contour: Default + Anti-aliased: Uncheck - Range: 50 - Jitter: 0

Gradient Overlay: - Blend Mode: Normal - Opacity: 31% - Gradient: Default + Reverse: Check - Style: Radial + Align with Layer: Check - Angle: 90 - Scale: 69

Stroke: - Size: 1 - Position: Inside - Blend Mode: Normal - Opacity: 25 - Fill Type: Color - Color: #FFFFFF

Step 4 You just completed the base of the logo. Now were going to make 2 shapes for the base. Were going to use the same effect for both shapes so add this settings to both layers.

Inner Glow: - Blend Mode: Normal - Opacity: 14 - Noise: 0 + Color: #FFFFFF - Technique: Softer - Source: Edge - Choke: 100 - Size: 1 - Contour: Default + Anti-aliased: Uncheck - Range: 50 - Jitter: 0

Gradient Overlay: - Blend Mode: Normal - Opacity: 82% - Gradient: Default + Reverse: Check - Style: Radial + Align with Layer: Check - Angle: 90 - Scale: 131 Color Overlay: - Blend Mode: Color + Color: #6D7695 - Opacity: 100%

Stroke: - Size: 4 - Position: Outside - Blend Mode: Normal - Opacity: 100 - Fill Type: Gradient - Gradient: Default + Reverse: Check - Style: Diamond + Align with Layer: Check - Angle: -90 - Scale: 150

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.
