This is my first tutorial xD
So from this
to this 
I made this with Photoshop CS2 (involves selective coloring)

1. Open your base, crop, resize and so on.
You may have to duplicate your base and set it to screen if it's to dark.

2. Make a new selective color layer.
Reds
-92, 0, +100, +1

3. Create another selective color layer.
Yellows
+100, 0, 0, +3

4. And again a selective color layer.
Reds
+16, 0, 0, +4
Yellows
+20, 0, 0, -21

5. Create a channel mixer layer.
output channel: red
source channels: red +96

6. Make a color balance layer.
Midtones (preserve luminosity checked)
-13, 0, 0

7. Another selective color layer.
Reds
0, 0, +42, 0

8. And again a selective color layer. The last one, I promise.
Whites
0, 0, 0, +100
Neutrals
0, 0, 0, -1
Blacks
0, 0, 0, +15

9. Create a new layer, set it to exclusion and fill it with #2a0a0a.

10. Make a brightness/contrast layer and set contrast to +8.

11. Now a curves layer.
RGB
Input: 148 Output: 173
Input: 70 Output: 92

12. Make another brightness/contrast and set brightness to +2.

13. Now I added a font ( Walkway Black ) and dropped a shadow.

--> and your done! :-)
