Re: Need Avatar/Logo Help

write your logo in 50% opacity over and over again in slightly different positions (one to the left, one starting at maybe the 3rd letter over in the previous one and up a bit more) and then write it in 100% opacity in the center. (or light gray and black, respectively.)

if you use GIMP, take the Spyro image, and go to Filters --> Distorts --> Wind. have fun.

In my opinion... not really. It looks alright, definitely not any worse, but it didn't fix the jagged or blurry edges or anything else at all, really. I still think you should at least give that text a top margin so it's not touching the edge, if nothing else.

Maybe try 36IStillLikeSpyro36's suggestion for the text as well; that could be interesting.

i think the jagged edges work in his favor, actually. he seems to be going for some kind of modern/futurized kind of look, and the jagged edges make it look a bit more convincing.

some space above the words would be an improvement.

Yeah, see on your avatar how there's no space between the words "Dragonfly" and "Tiberius Creations"? That's what I've been talking about. There should be some extra white space at the top of your image.

The whole thing looks a lot better in avatar size, by the way. The eyes kind of look like they're glowing.

Re: Need Avatar/Logo Help

after making that post last night, i realized that i don't think you can actually change the opacity of typed-out text in GIMP, at least in any way that's really easy to pull off. you'd just have to use light gray. that also seems a bit tedious though. that was just a suggestion, if you want to do some other kind of effect too, that's fine.
