Hi,

As per subject line really. The logo and text on the website below has a thin dark green line around them and then a further thicker light green line aroune it.

It looks like it’s a double stroke effect, but I have no idea on how to acheive it. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Looks like they apply an inner glow and a stroke or an inner glow and an outer glow (with the two parameters of "variation" at the minimum) in the layer style,
or maybe it was done in Illustrator, but the way’s the same…

If you just have a raster image you first need to trace the outline to get the first path or use Streamline. Then in Illustrator you select the first path and go to Object>Path>Offset Path… Then you select far you want the new offset path to be away from the selected one.

You could duplicate the text layer and stroke each one to your likin then set the top one to overlay or whatever mode brings out what yo want the bes
