1 //
Crop your picture to an icon size.. like 96 x 96, I'll be using this picture of GERARD. Light pictures might work best
2 //
Sharpen the picturee [adjust - sharpness - sharpen]
3 //
Add some text. I used the font verdana, for the bigger text use size 4 and the smaller text size 1. And it's all in caps. Then merge visible
4 //
Duplicate the first layer and change the blend mode to screen and change the opacity to 50% or whatever you think looks best
5 //
Duplicate the first layer again and put it above all of the other layers. Then grayscale it [adjust - hue and saturation - colourize] Then change that layer's blend mode to soft light and keep the opacity at 100%, you can change it if you wantt
6 //
Now make a new layer. And flood fill it with #0A0836. Change it's blend mode to exclusion at 100% opacity
7 //
Use the gradient up there and paste it in your icon. Change the blend mode to burn and the opacity to 30% -ish
8 //
Take that gradient and put the blend mode on multiply with the opacity somewhere around 40%
9 //
Duplicate the gradient from step 8 and put the blend mode on overlay at 30%. Merge visible
10 //
Duplicate the layer and put the blend mode on screen then lower the opacity. Add stuff. And you're done
