I've used PSP9 for this tutorial, however you should be able to create this tag in all versions.

Supplies needed:
A tube of choice.  I'm using one by Spazz (http://spazzdout.blogspot.com) which is available from TPP (http://www.thepspproject.com). 
Please do not use the same tube without the appropriate license.
Font of choice.  I've used Ephesis.

Plugins:
VM Instant Art - Instant Background I
Rorshack Filters - Ripleyer
AAA Frames – Foto Frame
Eye Candy 5: Impact - Gradient Glow (optional)

1.  Open a new transparent image 600 x 250 pixels

2.  Apply VM Instant Art - Instant Background I with the following settings:

Colourise your tag by going to Adjust - Hue and Saturation - Colourise
and play with the Hue and Saturation until you get a colour you like.

3.  Apply Rorshack Filters - Ripleyer with the following settings:

5.  Paste your tube as a new layer, move into position and apply an appropriate drop shadow.

6.  Add a new raster layer and flood fill it white.
Selections - Select All.  Selections - Modify - Contract by 4.  Press delete.
Selections - Select None.

7.  Remain on your white border layer.
Selections - Select All.  Selections - Modify - Contract by 1.  Selections - Invert.
Flood fill with Black.
Selections - Select None.

8.  Add your name in font of choice.  I also added a Gradient Glow and drop shadow.
My settings for the Gradient Glow are below:

9.   Add your copyright and license number (if necessary).
And you’re done :)

Here's another example created by the wonderful Spawn, using the art of Barachan (http://www.barachan.com),
