Step Three
Make the shape filling up the whole of the 50 px box.
Step Four
Go to Layer -> Layer Style -> Bevel and Emboss and use these settings. Select Contour, uncheck 'Anti-aliased' and change contour to 'Cone-Inverted'. Now go to Inner Glow and use these settings. And lastly, go to color overlay and change it to whatever color you like.

Step Eleven
Select the text layer in the layers palette and hit 'v' and move text until satisfied.

Now in the animation window, change the duration of each frame by clicking 0 sec. and changing the numbers. I set the first frame to 1 second, and the second frame to 0.5 seconds. Now hit the play button and see if that's what you want. Now, in ImageReady, go to File -> Save Optimized and save file as a .GIF.
This should be your final result:
