Use the "Pen" tool in the programs toolbar to draw out the design you have in mind. Use your earlier sketches as a reference as you work but remain willing to add any changes or additional details you think will improve your design as you fine-tune it. Make use of other tools available including the "Text" tool to create logos with lettering and consider using filters and image adjustments to add effects to your logo. For example, by selecting "FX" you can choose from several options including "Bevel and Emboss" or add a "Drop Shadow" to text or a graphic.
