We're going to make some clean 3D text with some of the built in effects in Photoshop.

Fill Background with Baby Blue. Use the Type Tool and make some text, choose white for color and click OK.

Now select "Overlay" from the layer pop down menu.

Next go to Layer > Effects > Drop Shadow. Copy the settings I have shown on the left, Also make sure you choose a dark blue shadow color like you see on my menu.

Hold down the Control key, while its down, click on the type layer. Now Select>Modify>Expand Enter 2 pixels.

Ok press the "M" key. Move the selection 1 pixel to the right and 1 pixel down with the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Edit > Copy Merged, Now make the Type layer Invisible by clicking on the "eye". Ok now paste: Edit>Paste.

Make a regular drop shadow behind the text to pop it out a little, use the Photoshop Effects again to do it fast.

Use Brightness/Contrast, I added about 40+ Brightness to freshen it up a little.
