How can I reproduce a logo?

Question

I am looking to reproduce this effect on an image in Adobe Photoshop.

alt text

Not the font or the word but the way it is outlined in white, does anyone know how I can do this?

you can probably do that with an outerglow style on that layer with an appropriate gradient. But, not programming related.

Just select the text (ctrl+click on layer), expand selection border by ~5px, stroke.

I think the following would be much better with Layer Styles:

Add a 5px outer stroke, and make it white.
Add a drop shadow. Use the spread and size sliders to adjust it until you're reasonably happy with the facsimile.

	Provided the space between the outline and the letters is in fact white and not transparent. – Joey Aug 4 '09 at 16:33
	You can adjust the size of the stroke to compensate for the spaces in letters. It would need to be adjusted relative to the size of the text anyways. – EvilChookie Aug 4 '09 at 18:59
