Answer 1

In Photoshop, there is no elegant way I know of. Maybe you could create a linear gradient and bend it the way you want, but that's a lot of hassle.

However, if Illustrator is an option, you can just create the form using the path tool and then apply a vertical gradient stroke to it.

If you need your graphic in Ps, you can simply copy and paste it as a Smart Object, leaving you with all options to change it later. However, you will not have access to the gradient via Photoshop's native tools.

Answer 2

Better to use a vector image editor instead, not Photoshop which is a raster image editor, and the wrong kind of software for making logos.

The example below was made in Inkscape, but almost any vector image editor will do, such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc. It consists of a single path (shown stroked in green below) broken up into various pieces, gradients applied to the each of the strokes, and a couple of shapes filled with a semi transparent gradient for the shadows.

Here are the gradients I used. These could be easily edited to change the colours.
