Start off by making your canvas 400x150.
Add some text with a blocky kind of font, I recommend Bebas. Type your text and centre align it.
Now I'm going to make it blue-ish.

Depending on your colour choice, the highlight mode will be lighter and the shadow mode will be darker than your chosen colour.
Now add a drop shadow.

Add a gradient overlay, change the black to the dark colour from your bevel and change the black to the light colour from your bevel.

You should have something like this:
