Cool (although I noticed that they fan their shadows out from the middle 'a').

He said it wasn't perfect. He just used a standard effect to give it the shadow...


It is very nice.:)

I wasn't trying to be overly critical -- just pointing out a difference between their current scheme and his. I do think it is a great job.

does this look better or worse?

That edge on the question mark is bugging me though.

doh - i cant believe i messed up the shaddow on the "?" on the right...

Leon, if you want me to remaster it and email it to you, then email me the original Logo.gif you had up there all the time, and i'll re-do it transparent. [email protected]

(i thought the original wasnt transparent thats why i kept the white background, AND, i was dumb enough to not save my "original" photoshop file so i could tweak it... oops.)

Good job Nano & Hapoo...

There is quite a bit more national support than I would expect as a result of this attack. I'm beginning to understand how people were so easily led into supporting the existence of internment camps during WW2 (not that I agree with that policy of american betrayal of american citizens or believe that we've gone anywhere near that far yet)...

heres what it should look like:

layer masking?

Nanotech9

well, heres what i did... i basically took the old logo, as a transparent gif, and cut it up.

i made layers of the "g o t a | p e x ?", "Redline....wallet", the curved thingy, and all the shadows.

to do this, i used the little selection tool, and pretty much set it on a 30pixel tolerance (to try to pick up more than just the colors in the center of the letters). and then went and split up the layers. Then i used each selection to make a cutout of the flag image. Beveled it, and blurred it. Then i turned on the shadows in the back to help smooth out the choppy edges, but it didnt work too well.
