Color : I chose a different color from my tag for each letter in the name I used.

Then apply your  name, then position it exactly where you want it on your tag, then go to your layers pallet, right click on your name layer then click Convert To Raster Layer.

Then go to Effects, click Plugins, then click Eye Candy 4 - Gradient Glow. Set your settings & click Ok.

Activate your magic wand tool, then click inside each letter in the name on your tag.

Then once all letters are selected go to Effects, click Plugins then click Eye Candy 5 - Impact - Glass, you can either use my settings below or your own :

Click Ok.

Now with your letters still selected go to Adjust, click Add/Remove Noise, then click Add Noise. Set to Uniform, 40 & make sure your Monochrome box IS checked. Then click Ok.

Now go to Selections & click Select None.

Now add your copyright /credit information! (Important not to forget this part)

Once everything is on your tag placed where you want it, go to your layers pallet, right click on any layer,then click Merge, then from the slide out menu click Merge Visible.

Now activate your crop tool & crop off any access canvas that we did not use.

Once you have cropped your tag, you will want to re-size it.

Once your tag is re-sized, go to Adjust , click Sharpness, then click Sharpen. To give it that extra sharpen.

All that is left is for you to save your tag as a PNG file & your done!
