Creating Batman logo

In this tutorial we'll create batman logo using basic shapes and vector shape modes etc. Lets start by creating a black ellipse shape using ellipse tool.

Duplicate the layer and transform using Ctrl+T. Scale this ellipse down a little bit.
Fill it with yellow color.

Duplicate yellow ellipse layer and scale down using Ctrl+T as done in previous step.
Fill this ellipse with black color.
Now we'll convert this innermost black ellipse to bat shape. Select ellipse tool and enable "subtract from shape area" from top panel.

Draw a vertical ellipse over black ellipse. this will cut a partial whole in black ellipse.

Select direct selection tool (A) ( use the black arrow tool not the holo arrow icon to select the whole ellipse ). Click on vertical ellipse to select all nodes together. Press Ctrl+T and rotate anticlockwise. Press enter to accept the transform.
Press Alt, click and drag the vertical ellipse to create a copy.
Shift+Click select both ellipses using direct selection tool.

 

Press Alt and click and drag to create copy of both.
Press Ctrl+T , right click and select flip horizontal.
Now with pen tool draw upper shape as shown. make sure "subtract from shape area" is still enbled.
 
 
 
Finish the path drawing by closing the path.
Here completes the batman logo. Well! almost.
I f you didn't get some nodes right, select direct selection tool and adjust.
 
Here finishes the final Batman logo.
