We'll begin this tutorial, by creating a new canvas at a size of 281 x 168 then download the Quicktime Shape Pack which will have the two custom shapes necessary for this tutorial. Then choose the "Custom Shape Tool" and find the "Quicktime Logo" shape. Then draw the shape as I have done below. Name this layer "Quicktime" in the Layers palette.

Next, create both the circle (using the "Elipse Tool") and the rectangle (using the "Rectangle Tool") as illustrated below. Once you have created the rectangle, you will need to go to the main menu and select "Edit" then "Free Transform" to get the correct angle.
