Background

Size doesn't really matter, although the smaller the better. I use signature size at about: 375 x 125 pixels.
Press D to reset your palette colors.
Make the background Black.






Lens Flare

Apply Filter: Render: Lens Flare
Add a few lens flares through the canvas, differing in size.






Duplicate

Right-Click and Duplicate the layer. Change the new duplicated layer to Screen.



Bas Relief

(Still Second Layer)
Apply Filter: Sketch: Bas Relief

Detail: 15
Smoothness: 15
Light: Bottom






Plastic Wrap

(Still Second Layer)
Apply Filter: Artistic: Plastic Wrap

Highlight Strength: 20
Detail: 15
Smoothness 14






Chrome

On the BOTTOM Layer:
Apply Filter: Sketch: Chrome

Detail: 10
Smoothness: 1






Hue/Saturation

On the TOP layer, change the Layer style to Color Burn. Then press CTRL+U (Hue/Saturation)

Hue: 360
Saturation: 25
Lightness: 0

make sure Colorize is checked.

And your final picture should be similar to this:




But it will be different because of the different uses of lens flare's.

There ya go!
