This is one cool Chrimbo theme

One of the best I've seen so far LOL

I have now used this on my site too. What I need help with/suggestion is the logo.

I have used the Zero Hour font (dunno what you've used). But how do I give the text
more volume/3d effect like you have ?

I am new to PS7 and am struggling. You can see my logo at my site... matrixdesigns.info

The font used in the logo of the Christmas theme is Dominator Medium at 30pt. It is a commercial font that can be purchased [ Register or login to view links on this board.] .

To create the 3D effect, I applied some layer styles to the text. To apply layer styles, click the little "F" down at the bottom of your layers pallette. (Make sure you have your text layer active.)

Here are the style settings:
