Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 500×500 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with black. Now select the Horizontal Type Tool then set the font family to Arial, bold, 60 pt, strong and white color shade. Then create a new text layer and type your text.
Step 2:
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Glow, Pattern Overlay and Stroke blending options to your white text layer.

Step 3:
Create a new layer and merge it with the white text design layer from the last couple of steps. Then under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow and Inner Glow blending option.

Step 5:
Set the layer's blending mode to Lighten at 47% opacity level. Then nudge it to the right by a couple of pixels.
