hope you like it

[Amaryllis]

Wow, I actually really like it. It's really neat! Love the background, so... Ocean/classy/futuristic. I don't like the font so much though but apart from that, gorgeous! +rep!

[Tobias]

thank you, i tried it with some fancy fonts and they look worse. so yeah this font is better.
i still have the photoshop file so i can always change it.

The embossing(forgot the term in photoshop), to be honest, is terrible. It's better off without it. And why does it have the same line?

[Tobias]

okay electric heres one without bevel and emboss

image (http://i55.tinypic.com/2akmvly.jpg)Good, but black lettering on dark/black background? I don't think that's a good thing.

Another suggestion is focus the the haze around the center than the edges, or darken the edges, to give the focus to the centre - and sharpen the centre a bit.

Also, do a feathering, and make the corners round. And then let's see what you got.

kk, here it is.

I've been trying this too, and I find what you did better. I was trying to come up with a good background but...



The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't match any of the VT themes. Try keeping this in mind...

Oh my god, it's not centred.

Yeah, that's all I can focus on.

[Dark Vamp]

Nice try to be honest. :)

[Ambrosia]

Come up with a different motto too, don't just make a different background.

I didn't notice it being uncentered until Rith said something (>.<) Now it's going to bother me.

Without embossing it, it looks way to bulky and very very...Paint-Made. With Embossment, its way too glossy. Try messing around with lighter colors than black, maybe? Other than that. Thumbs up for effort!!

[StoppingTime]

Yea, I cant look at it now because its not centered :)

Like I said, make it fit with one of the themes.

[AlmostHomeless]

It looks pretty cool :P The first one looked good but was hard to read. The last one you posted doesn't seem to use transparency so it ends up with white corners. If you can get it centered and maybe find something else to get creative with it might be better.

[Jess]

cool, but I think the text color should not be so dark.

[Origami]

The main problem is the background, it seems. It's actually very chaotic and unorganized. The lines varying in direction gives no flow to the piece, nor does it draw any attention to the text and motto. As for colors, yes, make them fit the themes. Blue, White, and Black suck with our current themes. Take a screenshot and copy the colors into your palette (this is what I did when I made the banner) and it'll go to make the themes much more appealing.

There is a difference between criticism and just rude, immature comments. If you've nothing better to do, then don't waste your time, or the artist's by commenting.
