First,
let's create a new 200 x 50 pixel image. Fill the background
with your favorite color. Now, using the rectangular marquee
tool, select the bottom half of the canvas.

Copy
your selection and use it to create a new layer. Using the
Linear Gradient Tool, draw a gradient on the bottom half
of the canvas. Choose 2 gray/silvery color. It should look
somewhat like the example below |

Now
select the upper part of the rectangle, and use the gradient
from bottom to top, but this time use medium gray and white.This
will be the metallic texture that you will use on your text.
Now go Select > All and cut your selection.

Now,
let's add our text to the picture. Hold down the Type Tool
and choose Type Mask Tool. Type in your text. Now use the
gradient tool from top to bottom using dark grey to white
color. With the selection still active, press CTRL +
SHIFT + V to paste our earlier texture.
