Originals made by myself which can be found in the wallpaper thread here https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/13534067/

Started off as a tribute to my schoool.

I personally don't mind people using it hence why I posted, but credit would be nice.

Of course I don't know which program Sulten used, but I used Photoshop to make the ones I posted on the previous page.

As an example, for my name which contains 9 characters I did the following:

1. Text layer with Myriad Pro Semibold (75 pt) as font. With a gradient overlay from R:79 G:78 B:78 to R: 58 G:58 B:58.

2. Apply an Inner Shadow with colour black, blend mode Normal. Opacity 87%. Angle 121. Distance 2px. Choke 0%. Size 4px.

3. Duplicate the text layer, and place it below the first layer, remove inner shadow.

4. To the duplicated layer, change the gradient overlay to one running from R:193 G:192 B:192 to R:255 G:255 B:255.

5. Increase font size on this new layer by 0.5 pt. For this example to 75.5 pt. then move the layer 1px down

6. Done

P.S. This was just a quick way I used, I'm sure someone has a different method.
 
Here's the PSD for you people...(including the Myriad Pro Semi Bold OTF font)

You must install the font for it to look right.

The file is simplified from the OP's instructions. 1 font layer, with gradient overlay, inner shadow, and a 1px white drop shadow, both set to 90 degrees, to better mimic the lighting of the tag.
