For this tutorial you will need

*Tube of choice, i am using the work of Martin Abel, i bought a licence from CILM
*Matrix animation used with permission from Mgccl (in supplies)
*Supplies here

This tut is fiddley and has lots of fiddley layer bits be warned.

Open up the animation i provided, there are 25 layers

choose a colour from your tube and using the change colour to target brush, colour
every single layer.

Open up my template

You can see that the top layer is called vector circle for text, this is hidden
so we can use it later.
The layer under is the circle layer.
Underneith that are 25 raster layers.

Make the circle layer active.
Click inside with the magic wand and then click selections modify and expand by 3

ok now heres the pain in the ass bit

On the top layer of the animation click copy

Click on the raster layer 25, click edit and paste into selection
Hide the top layer of the animation
click edit and copy merged.

Make raster 24 layer of the main tag active
click edit and paste into selection

Keep doing this untill all the rasters from 25 to 1 have got their own bit of animation in

Ok now they are done, make the circle layer acitve
Take your tube and resize to fit
duplicate the tube and drag one copy below the circle.
Click inside the circle with the magic wand
selections modify and expand by 3, selections and invert
Make the top tube layer active
Use the eraser brush to rub some out and make it look like the tube is popping out

I now have this

Now using the same colour you used to colour your animation,
give the circle a gradient glow, i did it to the bottom tube layer too

Now to go the very bottom white layer, fill it black

As you can see our tag is beginning to look rather good :p
Hide the black background layer

go to the very to vertor circle layer and unhide it.

Grab your text tool and hover it about the circle until you get the text on a curve thing

Now set the create as: to floating
Type your text and use space bar to move it along, make sure your text colour is black

When happy with your text, click ok and promote the selection to a layer
Then click selections and select none.
Hide the vector circle

Apply the same gradient glow to the text
Click image and resize by 105% bicubic.
This will move the text away from the circle.

Unhide the vector circle again

Type your name over the other side of the circle
change promoted selection to layer, selections and select none
Apply the gradient glow and resize 105 % bicubic

Ok add copyright layer where you like in black add gradient glow and place where you see fit.

I aslo duplicated my tube, flipped it and lowered the opactiy a lil bit

Now unhide the black background layer

Heres another fiddley bit

Open animation shop

In psp click edit and copy merged

paste as a new animation in AS

Now back in psp hide raster 25, click edit and copy merged

Paste after current frame in animation shop

Repeat the process and hide raster 24, and so on and so on
Untill you have 25 frames in animation shop

Ok now press ctrl and a then click animation and reverse frames

ok now click view and animation and save
