Step 1

Create a New Document and use the Horizontal Type Tool to write out a few words in the Benguiat typeface, or a similarly retro font. Rasterize your text and rearrange your letters of the first word so the first and last letters are larger and the top line is aligned by the top edge. Place the second word beneath the first, making sure it’s close to it, but with ample space between the two. You’ll have to Separate each letter section onto layers in order to move or resize them as you see fit. Merge Layers when you’re satisfied with your type.

Step 2

Use the Magic Wand Tool to select your text (make sure Anti-Alias is selected but Contiguous isn’t). Go to Select > Modify > Expand it by 3 – 5 pixels (or something similar to the outline below). Create a New Layer. Fill the selection with red using the Paint Bucket Tool. Select your original text again and delete the selection from your newly filled layer so you only have red outlines left.

Use the Rectangle Tool to draw rectangles on top of the text and on either side of the text. Set the fill to null and the stroke to red and 3 pts in the Properties panel.

Double-Click your working layer (With your text on it) and apply an Outer Glow with the following attributes:

Blend Mode: Multiply

Add an identical Gradient Overlay to this one above the first.

Step 5

Add a third Gradient Overlay that goes from dark red to red and to dark red again with the following attributes:

Blend Mode: Color Burn
Opacity: 100%
Style: Linear

Add a fourth Gradient Overlay above the others that goes from dark red to light red to red to light red and back to dark red again with the following attributes:

Step 9

Copy and Paste your text layer. Clear the Layer Styles from your copied layer. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and apply a Gaussian Blur with a Radius of approximately 7.8 pixels. Hit OK and Duplicate this layer.
