You can use Photoshop CS3 Extended and later to make 3D shapes out of vector shapes (and text), but Photoshop CS6 makes it much easier with a redesigned UI and better tools. You can fine more information at Adobe.com, Photoshop.com or googling Photoshop CS6 3D.

But if you're not using Photoshop, and you're using Illustrator, then Yisela's information is a good resource for you (above). But I will say that Photoshop is a bit easier and more powerful than Illustrator for creating and working with 3D objects—although Illustrator still has better Pen/Path tools.

If you don't have either, then you can consider using some free software like Blender, Bryce, or another one of the many free 3D tools out there. Just be sure they can export files with transparency, as I'm sure that will be a requirement for you and most designers. Cheers!
