Cool Neon Glow


Very simple! First of all, create a new documend sized 500x500 pixels and fill it with black color.

After that select the Custom Shape Tool and select one of the standard Photoshop custom shapes, what you can see below:

Create the same shape on your canvas, using white color.

Ok, move to the next step. Use the Horizontal Type Tool to write out the text, what you can see on my screenshot below.

In the above image I've used a font called Incised901 NdIt BT, which is sadly a commercial font. Feel free to use another font or buy or 'get' a nice font from somewhere if you don't have it. Then merge text layer with custom shape layer and duplicate new layer with Ctrl+J. Apply Filter > Pixelate > Fragment to the copied layer.

Apply two more times this filter with pressing Ctrl+F two of times.

After that go to the original layer under and set up opacity to 40% for this layer.

Merge this layer with copied layer above and change it color using Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation with following presets:
