Open a new file, in RGB mode, 64×64 pixels in size. Set the foreground color to #2A6EC1 , and the background color to #113871. Use the Radial Gradient tool and drag the tool as shown in the illustration below to create the same gradient background.

Creating an icon using gradients

Using the Type tool, select Myriad Pro as the typeface, and select SemiBold as the weight. Use 36 points, and select Smooth for the antialiasing.

Select File > Save for Web and Devices. You’ve created your own CS3 style icon!

Adding type to the icon

    I don’t think I used Myriad Pro on mine – but maybe I should redo it.

    I think the font for Fl on “Flash” Icon is Trebuchet MS. because of the L style.
