To draw circles in Photoshop as per our guide, we recommend downloading the latest Photoshop CC 2020 and CS6 versions available here:
Step 1: Start by creating a new file with dimensions of 250 x 250, typically square-shaped which is most common and easiest for logo design.
Step 2: Next, select the Background and Foreground color squares and pick the following colors.
Choose #82B2E0 for the Background and #012B62 for the Foreground, then click OK.
Step 3: Then, use the Elliptical Marquee Tool to draw a circular shape for the logo.
Step 4: To draw, click and drag from the top corner downwards, ensuring to hold Shift for a perfectly even circle.
Step 5: Once you have a circle, press G and drag a straight line downwards.
Step 6: Next, draw a smaller circle behind the first, right-click it, and select Stroke.
Choose 10px for the Stroke value, with a white background.
Step 7: By now, your Photoshop logo is 50% complete. Use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to draw your desired letter, such as V.
Use the Ruler for alignment if unsure about your lettering; it won't affect the final file output.
Step 8: Proceed to Edit > choose Fill from the menu.
For Fill, select the usual value or adjust it back to 100% as shown below.
At this point, your Photoshop logo creation is 70% complete. The next step is to polish your logo.
Step 9: In the Layer panel, right-click and choose Blending Options.
Step 10: First, work with the Drop Shadow value, ensuring adjustments match the illustration.
Next, adjust the Inner Shadow value for inner shading.
