1.  Open a new, transparent image, size 500 x 500.  I know that's large now, but we'll resize later.

2.  Choose the text tool and choose any font you wish to use.  I used Plump MT, size = 72 pt.  Type your name or phrase.

3 .  Right-click on text layer in Layer Palette, and choose  Rasterize Layer.

4.  In top menu, click Image > Trim.  Select Transparent in the box that comes up.  This will trim the excess transparent space. 

5.  In the Layer Palette, right-click on the name layer and choose Duplicate Layer.  Duplicate again so that you now have 3 layers.

7.  Set the noise to 20%. and uniform.

8.  In the Layer Palette, click on the 2nd layer.  In the top menu, click Filter > Noise > Add Noise.  Set Noise to 25%, uniform.

9.  In Layer Palette, click on the bottom layer.  In top menu, click Filter > Noise > Add Noise.  Set Noise to 30%, Uniform.

NOTE:  You might want to experiment with the noise settings.
