1. Create a New Document 1000 x 800 px, then add a Layer Set (name it "bg") with a new layer. Fill it with black.
Set foreground/background colors to #2D2337 & #181818.

Add Filter > Render > Clouds.
Filter > Blur> Motion Blur:

2. Create a new Set and name it "text". Then use your type tool to type in your text (I used free Alba Matter font 110 pt):

3. Double-click on this layer to open the Layer Style window and use the settings from the following images:

Gradient Overlay:

Bevel & Emboss:

Inner Shadow:

Stroke:

Outer Glow:

4. Create a new Layer Set "light" below our "Text" Set. Duplicate the layer 'Layer1' with the clouds and move it from "bg" Layer Set to a "light" set
