The settings I used for the name on my tag are :

Font : Some Weatz Symbols

Background Color : #000000

Foreground Color : # Set to nul

Then once you apply & position your name - go to your layers pallet - right click on your Name layer - then click Convert To Raster Layer.

Now go to Effects - click Plugins - then click Eye Candy 5 - Impact - Gradient Glow

Then click Ok.

Now on your Name layer - go to Effects - 3D Effects - Drop Shadow (same settings , click Ok)

Now if you are happy with all of your elements & text, go to your layers pallet - right click on any layer - then click Merge Visible.

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

Now you may or may not need to re-size your tag, depending on where you will be using it.

If you do re-size your tag as a whole be sure to Sharpen it one last time before saving it.

Now all that is left is to save your completed tag as a PNG file & you have completed this tutorial!!♥
