Hey guys. Newbie here!

I wanted some help in creating a spiral a la:

I would like it more spherical for a logo.

Any ideas how to do this on Photoshop?

Much appreciated!

If it's for a logo you should use Illustrator not photoshop to create a vector file which can easily be resized etc without any distortion.

Illustrator would be better. Photoshop can handle paths to create shapes but it's by no means as good as Illustrator for creating precise shapes.

Best method for creating the swirl would surely be the 3D tool in Illy (also availbable in photoshop if you did decide to do a raster version). There are stacks of variables to play about with until you get what you're after. Others might suggest creating something like that in a 3D program, (if you have the oppurtunity) and importing it, but again, it won't be vector.
