Using the Elliptical Marquee Tool make a perfectly-rounded small selection inside of the F at the top.
Circle Selection
Make a new layer and fill this selection with white (#ffffff.)
Move the selection to the left so theres about 5 pixels space between the two, fill with white again.
Two Circles
Repeat this until you’ve filled up all of the F, then merge all of your light layers together.
F Lights
After merging your layers together, apply this Drop Shadow.

Lastly I added a few post-effects to the image. Since the orange I used came out really bright, I lowered the contrast a little (Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast) and also applied Filter > Noise > Add Noise to give it a cool, old-style effect.

  1. Good but you should really put an outer glow on all the little dots you have there. That way it actually is light and bright.

  10. This is brilliant - just what I needed, and so straightforward.

    Might I recommend that on the final part, to help keep all the ‘lights’ aligned setting up a framework of guides helps. Also, if you change the size as I did, settings on the bevel and the drop shadow for the lights might need tweaking to accurately replicate the effects here.
