Create a new layer
Now select the elliptical marquee tool and set the style to fixed size and make it 120*120 px
Now click on the document and fill in the cirle with the foreground colour(orange)
you should have this:

Go to Layer>LayerStyle>Drop Shadow
And set it to this:

Now create a new layer
Now select the Cutom Shape Tool
I selected the radioactive sign but you can select whatever you wish!
Now draw it into the new layer about 2/3 of the size of the circle using the Background colour(Greyish)
You should now have somthihng similar to this:

Here is a question for you: Why does the green one seem aliased while the red, yellow and the blue seemes smooth?

It has a nice outcome but it would be better if the symbol wasn't grey. Say a lighter color of the orb. (IE: Baby Blue, Pale Green, Pink, light orange)

Edit: Here was my outcome from making an orb logo.
