Crop your base to 100 x 100 pxls. Use Auto Contrast.
Duplicate the first layer and set it to screen, 50% opacity.
Paste this texture (by 77words), desaturate it (so it looks like this), and set it to overlay, 100%.
Paste this texture and set it to multiply, 100%.
Create a new layer, fill with #0C0C31 and set it to exclusion, 100%.
Paste this gradient on, and set it to softlight, 100%.
Paste this gradient on, and set it to colorburn, 100%.
Duplicate the base, move it to the top, and set it to softlight.
Create a new, transparent layer, flip your canvas horizontally, and add this brush (by drave). Flip your canvas back, and set the brush layer to overlay.
Create another new layer, and add a text brush in a soft cream color (#F9F9EB). Mine looked like this from colorfilter.
Add a large B text layer. Here, I used Anglo Text, 48pt, 40% opacity.
