Switch to Move tool (V), and on top bar, click "Distribute horizontal centers" and "Distribute vertical centers". All curves should become equally distributed along the image and should produce nice geometric texture. HINT: the original curve was very simple, you can achieve more impressive results by generating more complex curve and duplicating/distributing it.

Merge all linked layers into one (Ctrl-E).

Duplicate this layer and rotate it 90 degrees. Now we have a nice curved grid!

Select background layer, then select pen tool (P) (but this time, do not manually create new path!) Once again, sketch a simple curve. it will automatically be placed in new layer. change its blend mode to soft light or overlay.

Similarly, use Shape tool (U) to add a couple of circles to the background. I added 2 circles with blend mode = soft light, and another white circle with blend mode=normal. I also applied very light gradient to this white circle, to give it pseudo 3D look.

The final touch is to add shadow to the white circle. Duplicate circle layer (Ctrl-J), change its color to light grey, choose Path Selection Tool (A), click to select circle shape, and use buttons on top bar to change its mode to "Substract from shape area". Then, group layer with previous (Ctrl-G).

That's all! The only thing left is orangeicons logotype. but how I created it is the subject for another tutorial :-)
