I started off with a black fill for the background using the paint bucket tool. Then I changed the layer effects so that it had an inner glow of the colour red.




Then I used the horizontal type mask tool and chose the font I wanted and wrote the band name. After then altering the tracking of the text (the amount of spacing between individual characters) using the character window, I used a custom gradient fill for which I chose the colours myself.

Then after duplicating the layer and applying a motion blur to one of them at a horizontal angle, I hid the original text layer by pressing the eye icon on the layer.

I then duplicated this layer by right clicking and pressing duplicate or by dragging the layer down over the 'new layer' icon located at the bottom of the layers palette and releasing the click. Then I could begin keyframing and make it look like they are whizzing off to the from the centre side.

Then I made them whizz back together using the keyframe animation.

Once the two blurred versions of the layer 'ASPERSION' finished whizzing back together I hid the layers so only the un-blurred layer 'ASPERSION' was visible.

Then i created a layer of text with various layer effects after rasterizing the type such as gradient overlay, stroke, and outer glow and keyframed it as though it was coming towards the viewer, and then sliding up off of the screen after pausing for a while. then because by this time the screen is blank, the animation can loop over again.
