Beautiful blue, new layer, fill with #204896.
On the word The, you can leave as is or change the color to one you like.

Being on the bottom layer, new raster layer, fill with a gradient color.
I had my foreground #a20601 and background #204896, then gradient at angle 45, repeat 4, fill and apply your mask, delete and merge group.
Close off any background you used, merge visible.

Resize first and then add your name and Copyrights and you are all done.
