Create Circle Loading Icon
In this example, I am going to teach you how to create a circle loading icon tutorial. I will move a color spot inside a ring to show the loading and download icon. If you are looking for your own loading icon, it will surely help you to create a different type of logo. I have used Ellipse Tool, Layer Style and blending mode, you can reach on the final result by using all of them and sure you like and enjoy.
Start with a new document and adjust file size as you required, select Ellipse Tool (U key) and draw a circle on the document with "#2696fe" color. Now Click on the "Subtract Shape area" button in the optional bar as showing by red color, draw little circle in the middle of the big circle.
