Now, below the modem body, draw black color shape with ellipse tool.



Rasterize the layer and go to filter>blur>gaussian blur and blur it around 4.1 pixels.



Duplicate the blurred shape and place it below the second shape. Reduce the opacity to 55-60%. This will add shadow to the object.



Now, with the help of Rectangle tool draw this shape.



Draw 1 pixel wide white color line at the left side of the shape. Group and merge the 2 layers.



Duplicate and arrange the layers as shown :-



Write any text of your choice in between the blank space :-
