In this occasion I will show you how to create a security logo icon, applying a wide variety of ((Layer Styles)) such as: ((Inner Shadow)), ((Outer Glow)), ((Inner Glow)), ((Gradient Overlay)), ((Pattern Overlay)), and ((Stroke)).
Open a new document (400×400px and white background).

((Gradient Overlay)). The colors you need to use for the gradient are: #efe834 and #b90303.
Save the changes.
Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J).
Remove ((Gradient Overlay)).

((Inner Glow)).
((Gradient Overlay)). Use the colors: #8b5252 and #d8d8d8

With a soft brush and light grey you can add some details, of course, in a new layer.
Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J) again. Also remove ((Layer Styles)) and reduce it as shown in the following image.
