Step 1: Create artboard

Step 2: A big rectangle

Now create a rectangle having width 86px and height 50px and place it at the bottom of the artboard.

Go to Insert then select Shape and then click on Rectangle or simply hit the R key on your keyboard to draw a rectangle.

Remove the Borders from the right side menu and fill the rectangle with black color by setting the Fills to #000 which is hex code for black.

Step 4: Circle for the ribbon

To create the ribbon shape we will draw a circle having diameter of 24px.

Go to Insert then select Shape and then click on Oval or simply hit the O key on your keyboard to draw the circle.

Make sure you hold the Shift key while drawing the circle. This will help you get a perfect circle. Do check that both the width and height of the circle on the right side menu is equal to 24px.

Remove the Fills and set the Borders color to black #000, position to Center and thickness to 3 units.

The circle should look something like the following.
