here is to create a new file so for that
go to file and then select option new

height and width of the document
accordingly or else you can set it as
follows
and then click on okay
after that we need to fill this

then select foreground color as black
and then using paint bucket tool fill
the background with that of black cover
now we need to type in the text over
here so for that select horizontal type
tool and then set the font as any font
of your choice I'm setting it as Times
New Roman after that set the size of the
font accordingly and then set the
foreground color as white which will be
our font color then click on OK  , after
that click on the document and then type
in the first letter of your text and
then click on the tick icon to place it
and then using move tool place the letter
at the center of the document so now
this looks good after that we need to
create the second letter for the logo
for that press ctrl + J to create a
duplicate of the current text layer and
then press shift and drag the duplicate
text layer towards the right by pressing
shift it drags in a straight line after
that double click on the T icon of the
duplicate text layer which will give you
the selection of the whole letter and
then press backspace key of your

type in the second letter of your logo
which is S , so now for this logo I don't
want to keep the two letters with that
of same color so for that press ctrl + A

whole letter after that set the

and then click on okay after that click
