I am looking to learn how to create my own text logos, without using any typefaces. This particular design is to feature the word 'swerve', but I'm having a difficult time with the letter 's'. All the other letters have been built by adding and subtracting shapes, but I find it extremely difficult to construct an 's' shape that does not look out of place. Is it possible to build an 's' shape out of flat shapes, by for example adding and subtracting layers of circles, or do I have to play with the pen tool until I get it right?
Note: I'm using Photoshop CS6.
This is the design that I'm going for:

well, you could do something like this:
which is based on your current e character
and if you want, instead of using triangles you can use rectangles for a straight horizontal line on the terminals, as follows:
Based on the look of what you supplied, here is what I would recommend:
For further clarity:
Here's one example - this was done in Illustrator CC 2017 with the Shaper Tool, but I suppose you could something similar in PS, but not as easily. Anyhoo, I'm sure you'll get the idea. It's made from two ellipses and two rectangles.
Here's one.
Small E is flipped, rotated and clipped to get the s. The blue text is a readability test. Maybe you need a little thicker v and r or thinned e and s.
Not asked, but maybe useful:
Thin v is tried to be fixed by pasting a little horizontally shifted copy onto it. The r had got a full height stake. The new s is stretched a little higher than e.
