It looks kind of plain. I don't really like it. :P

I agree... awesome pic, but the Font/ Text leaves a little to be desired...

Maybe try to "tie" the text to the backround some how, making it look like it is one complete pic instead of a pic with text on it... if ya get my meaning.

Maybe use a different font and fill it with a texture instead of just one colour? .. or light shinning from the sun through the letters maybe?

anyways, Love the pic!!

I like the picture but I'm not a fan of the font and text.

What is the planet image like quality wise? Is it very hi-res?

Coz if it isnt, when you scale up and try to print it, it may come out very soft and very poor quality and will look awful.

I want to apologize for my comments. After reading comments from others on the board, it became apparent to me, that I was the only one THAT COULD NOT FRIGGIN SEE A PICTURE THERE.

I use avant browser, and your picture doesn't show up for me at all, so my comment was based on the fact that I thought you didn't have an actual pic posted.

I have now loaded up this page in IE, and I see the picture just fine, and I actually really do like it. The font is incredibly plain, and I personally would try for a little more style there, though I do love the color scheme of it. I'd just go a little less block.


Again...

Sorry for my first comment in the thread.

I like it, though I kind of miss the bright glow around the letters.


Have you thought about bowing the text down instead of up? It would then kind of look like rings around the sun/star. Not realistic, but maybe cool. :)


It is pretty nice as is though.

I agree with versapak here.  I like it, but adding the edges of the letters makes them stand forward a little more, IMO

That does sound cool.
