I've used PSP9 for this tutorial, however you should be able to create this tag in all versions.
I am assuming you have some knowledge of how PSP works.

Supplies needed:
A tube of choice. I’m using one by Danny Drake which is available from CDO
Font of choice. I've used Waterlily

Plugins:
Psychosis - Circular Streaker

1. Open a new transparent image 600 x 250 pixels

2. Set your foreground and background to two colours from your tube - one darker, one lighter.
Set your foreground to Gradient with these settings:

Flood fill your canvas with this gradient.

3. Apply Psycosis - Circular Streaker with the following settings:

4. Adjust - Sharpness - Sharpen.

5. Add a new raster layer above your Circular Streaker layer and flood fill it with the same gradient as earlier.

6. On this new layer, create a Custom Selections with the following settings:

Selections - Invert. Press delete on your keyboard. Deselect.

7. Duplicate this layer. Image - Flip. Merge these two layers together.
Apply a drop shadow with the following settings:

8. Copy and paste your tube as a new layer, move it into position and add a drop shadow of choice.

9. Add a new raster layer and move it above all your other layers.
Flood fill with your darker colour.
Selections - Select All. Selections - Modify - Contract by 4.
Press Delete on your keyboard.
Selections - Select None.

10. Add your name, copyright and any license numbers necessary.
And you're done
