Tutorial Title: Funky text
Program: Adobe Photoshop

[1] Alright, so first of all you need to have two layers... one layer with which ever background you want (i chose black for this example) and on the other layer you need whatever text you want. This text effect is best on a thick bold font such as impact.

 

[2] Once you've done that, select the blending options to the layer with the text on it.(right click the layer with the text on it in the layer window)

Then set inner shadow, in this example ive left the inner shadow on it's default settings, so to begin with, i'd recommend you do the same. Then once that is done, you need to select the bevel emboss button and set the sliders and settings to something like:

[3] Nearly there! Now we need to go Rasterize the text by going to Layer>Rasterize>Type. Then head over to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation. Once here, select the Colorize checkbox, and choose your desired color. In this example i've chosen blue, as it's a dam good color!
[4] Now all that is needed is a little Lens Flare! So for those of you who are new to photoshop, simply to go Filter>Render>Lens Flare. I'll leave the settings of lens flare up to you, but i'd recommend nothing too bright otherwise it will mess up the text. It's best in little dots and glimps of light. But have a play around!

[5] After alittle lens flare on low settings situated in different parts of the text, you should end up with something like this
