Create 3D effect buttons and icons in PS – logo tutorial

The tutorial I saw in an icon forum is very practical, so I translated it. In some places, the translation may not be very accurate. Please give me more advice.
In the process of website design, we often need to use icons to represent operations such as adding, deleting and editing. In the Web2.0 era, badges and detailed 3D effects are becoming more and more popular. This tutorial will show you how to easily draw buttons or icons with beautiful 3D effects.

Step 1:
Create a new document, select the “Ellipse Tool” (U), and draw a circle. Fill the circle with any color and it will be overwritten by the layer style later.

Step 2:
Double-click the circle layer to open the layer style window, select “Gradient Overlay”, and use blue and light blue as gradient colors. Select “Radial” in the “Style” drop-down box. Finally, refer to the image below to set the “Angle” for the gradient overlay and add the “Bevel and Emboss Effect”.
Tips: Move the gradient overlay to the top of the circle: Open the layer style window and select the “Gradient Overlay” option. Hold the button to adjust the gradient.

Step 3:
Refer to the picture below, copy the circle layer and adjust it to a suitable size.

Step 4:
Double-click the new layer you just copied to open the layer style window and remove all previously set effects (gradient overlay, bevel and embossing) Effect). Select “Stroke”, select “Gradient” in the “Fill Type” drop-down menu, and set the gradient color to white and the transparency from 100% to 0%. For other settings, refer to the figure below.

Step 5:
Select the “Horizontal Type Tool” (T) to create a text layer so that the text layer is on top. Select the text layer and open the Layer Style window. Select “Color Overlay” to set the text color to white, then select “Inner Shadow” and set it up as shown below.

Step 6:
Merge the above three layers and name the layer “Blue Circle”.

Step 7:
Select the “Polygon Tool” (U), modify the settings as shown below, and create A star-shaped badge. Duplicate this layer and resize it like step 3.
There is no need to set the layer style again, just copy the layer style from the icon we just made and paste it into the current layer. Method: Select the Blue Circle layer we just created, right-click and select “Copy Layer Style”. Then select the star badge layer you just created, right-click and select “Paste Layer Style”.
What we need to modify is to modify the gradient color in “Gradient Overlay”.

Summary:
This is a very simple way to make 3D style buttons. You can change some styles yourself, such as color overlay, gradient overlay, etc.
