I saw this logo design

Ref Logo.PNG
My skill is really limited and Im looking forward to improve it. After several failed attempts of trying to recreate it finally i gave up. So how do you make that exact style in photoshop?
In my failed attempt i used that substract shape in layer options, how far did i miss? Thanks in advance!
 
Hello again.

Firstly, you need to watch videos where the presenter takes the time to explain in detail every step that is being used for the creation. If your sole interest is in making logos...................while your still a noob, switch over to Adobe Illustrator! It's far more suited for logo design.

Second, in your previous thread HERE, I offered you many links to the tools you need to be working with in order to create designs like the example you have here in Photoshop.

Your example logo can be made entirely with the Ellipse Tool and the Pen Tool. You need to be watching videos on how to master these tools.
 
OK.

The first thing I notice is that you did not use any Shape layers to create your logo. You got a fairly good result but it was not created with shapes/paths.

Not a shape layer

Also not shape layers.

Photoshop can not create true vector images. This is a very common misunderstanding and why Adobe Illustrator is a better choice. Photoshop does have so called vector (shape) tools and can save some vector content in some formats (psd, pdf, eps). However, Photoshop will never create a true vector file. Regardless of how you create a file and save it, Photoshop always saves both vector and raster information. What Photoshop creates are vector containers with raster content. This is much different than a vector container with a vector content.

This is why you always need to create logos with shape tools/layers. You also used multiple layers to create the logo and it all should have been on one shape layer.

Those were actually a shape layer but rasterized because i still dont really know how to "maneuver" with the shapes and paths. Will definitely study more though. Thanks again!
Also, i might be asking a lot more in the future lol
 
You could actually convert your finished raster logo to a path, but it's always going to be misshapen because of the selection process.

Your logo converted to a path............note how many anchor points are used. You would not have that if done properly with the shape tools.

This is a better example of how the path should look (the logo proportions are different)
