We’re going to create a simple yet astonishing 3D logo for your company or website.

1. Create a new document (250*250). The background color doesn’t really matter, I chose red #fe0000.

2. Create a new layer (layer – new layer) and grab your elliptical marquee tool and select a circle (width 200px, heigth 200px). You should have something like shown in the following screenshot after filling it with white #fffff using the paint bucket tool.

3. With your circle still selected go to (select – modify – contract) and contract by 10 pixels and then press delete to end up with this.

4. Create another new layer and go to (select – modify – contract) and contract by 1 pixel, then repeat step 3 but make sure this circle is within the original one. This should be your outcome after filling it with white #fffff using the paint bucket tool. Make sure you pressed the delete button.

5. Repeat this process again but this time make sure there is about a 10 pixel space in between the circles instead of 1 pixel so you end up with this after deleting the middle part of the circle. Also make sure you create a new layer for every circle you draw!

6. Now do this again (layer – new layer) and (select – modify – contract) and contract by 10 pixels and fill the selection with white on a new layer. Don’t delete the center of the circle this time!

7. Use the rectangular marquee tool to remove a part of the 2 outer circles on the different layers you’ve created to achieve this 3D logo shape! Use the screenshots as a guide if you don’t understand what to do!

8. Merge down all the circle layers (layer – merge down or CTRL+E) but don’t include the background layer!
