Ok, I used adobe photoshop when I made this, but other programs will probably still work. Make your shape and fill with the color. Set the color to 5E5E5E.
Bevel and Emboss
Style: Inner Bevel
Technique: Chisel Hard
Depth 100%
Direction: Up
Size: 4 px
Soften: 0 px
Angle: 120
Check use global light
Altitude: 30
Gloss Contour: straight line bottom left top right
Anti-aliased: un checked
Highlight mode: Normal, FFFFFF
Opacity: 100%
Shadow Mode: Normal, FF9900
Opacity: 60%
For Darkness
Use 1 px brush
Color: 3D3D3D
Mode: Normal
Opacity: 100%
Flow 50%
For Lightness
Use 1 px brush
Color: 696969
Mode: Normal
Opacity: 100%
Flow 50%
For the scratches, make line of the darkness on he shape, then right below the darkness make lines of lightness following the darkness's path. Also add some random one pixel dots of the darkness and a few of the lighness around then blur it just a tiny bit to add in all the little imperfections. Also take the eraser set it to one pixel and erase right where the scratches start or begin at if you choose to. With any luck you should come out with something like this 
or this 
I hope that helps because a lot of people don't know how to duplicate this effect and would like to know how, I just figured it out several days ago so I'm new to making this effect. I'm sure with time we will get better at doing this and find some problems with the effect, and fix them to make it look even more like the renegade lettering is. Any questions or this confusing parts, e-mail me at david0203@yahoo.com or contact me through the ways in my signature. Or you can just reply to this topic.
