I've read a couple of the responses so far and here's yet another idea. Start by placing your text on its own transparent layer. This allows you to use any of the logo scripts found in <Image>/Script-fu/Alpha_to_Logo menu directly, or to deal with the text separately if none of the existing logo scripts appeals.
To make your text appear 3-dimensional, try making yet another copy of it on another transparent layer, blurring it by some modest amount, depending on the width of the lines, and using the blurred version as a bump map for the unblurred version. Make the bump mapped layer and the background layers visible and see how you like the result. This is a fairly common idiom in the GIMP, and you will run into it often.
