Final Image Preview
Create a new file (File>New) with 450×468 px and 300 dpi and take then the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to paint the file in black.

The layer’s parameters:
Fill 0% on the layers:

Make a copy of the recently made layer and take the Free Transform option to make the copy smaller and fix this color for the copy: #000220.
Combine in a group both recently made layers and press on Ctrl button to mark out the necessary layers, but keep pressed the left mouse’s button when taking them down on Create a new group option. Make a copy of the last made group and select the Free Transform option to make the copy smaller, placing it the same way it is demonstrated next picture.
Using the Ellipse Tool (U), it’s possible to draw one more layer designed for the icon, colored with #00338C.
Make a copy of the last made layer and choose Free Transform option to narrow out the copy horizontally, setting next parameters for the copy:
The layer’s parameters:
