Fill it in with color #0e151e.
Write the text with the font Space Age. If you don’t have it, download it from here.
Go to the text layer, a go to menu ((Layer))-((Layer Style))-((Blending Options)).
((Blending Options)).
((Inner Shadow)).
((Outer Glow)).
((Inner Glow)).
((Gradient Overlay)). Use these colors: #000000 y #9ed0ff.
((Stroke)).
Accept the changes.
Duplicate the layer (Ctrl + J).
In the duplicated layer, right click the text layer name and select ((Rasterize Type)). Right click again and choose ((Convert To Smart Object)). Right click for the last time and select ((Rasterize Layer)).
Go to menu ((Edit))-((Transform))-((Flip Vertical)).
Once you have rasterized the text layer, click ((Add New Layer Mask)) (it is pointed in the image below, with a red arrow).
Choose black as the main color and white as secondary.
Finally, stand in the ((Layer Mask)) and, with ((Gradient Tool)), trace a linear gradient so that you create a reflection.
This is the result.
