An easy Photoshop tutorial to show you how to create a Dirty, Rusty Text Effect.
 
Chained Text Thumnail
 
Step 1.
Create a new document with any background color. We'll start off by creating the base text. I've used a free "dirty" font called Base 02, but you can use any thick font such as Arial Black. The settings used for the font can be seen below.
 
Step 2.
Make a selection, using the text (Select > Load Selection). Expand (Select > modify > Expand) the selection by 5 pixels, and fill a new layer below with grey (454545). Now apply the bevel and emboss layer (Layer > Layer Style > Bevel and Emboss) style to it using these settings. You should end up with something like below (b)
a)   b)
Step 3.
Apply a drop shadow (Layer > Layer Style > Drop Shadow) the the grey text using these settings.
