Step 1: #07090a - #202b35 For The Colors
Open Photoshop and create a new document, I used 1920x1200 pixels. Then apply a gradient, you could fill it with a gradient or apply a Layer Style. I used the layer style, Gradient Overlay. Use Radial for the Style and #07090a - #202b35 for the colors.
Step 2
Add some text in white then go to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur. Use 90 for the Angle, and 40 pixels for the Distance.
Step 3
Now go to Filter>Distort>Wave. use 3 for the Number of Generators, 10 and 346 for the Wavelength, and 5 and 35 for the Amplitude.
Step 4
Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. Use 10 pixels for the Radius. Then group the layer and rename the folder's Blend Mode to Color Dodge. You will get a nice light effect.
Step 5
Create a new layer on top of the others and go to Filter>Render>Clouds, make sure you had black and white for the background and foreground colors, then change the Blend Mode to Color Dodgeand go to Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal All. With a very soft brush, 0% hardness and black color,hide some areas of the clouds layer. Use the image below for reference.
Step 6
Create a new Folder on the Layers' Palette. Change the folder's Blend Mode to Color Dodge and add a new layer in it. Then use the Smoke Brushes from Qbrushes . Select
white for the color and paint over some letters. If you think the brush is not very bright, just click twice.
Step 7
Paint a few more smokes like the image below.
Step 8
Create a new layer beneath the other layers but in front of the Background layer. Fill this layer with black and go to Filter>Texture>Texturizer. Use 100% for the Scaling and 4 for the Relief. For the Texture use Canvas and Light use Top. That will add a nice texture to the image but you will need to change the opacity to 10%.
