Only problem I see is that the radius of the "Station 1 / Caledonia" text doesn't look to be the same as the circles in the emblem.  Other than that it's pretty slick.

Good job!

IF you wanted to make the text blend in a bit more you could have bezeled it up from the background then tint it the colour you want then make it shiny.The text your currently using has a bezeled boarder allready so the effect is similar to just making slightly opaque i guess.burning the edges mightve looked ok as well.
My 40 second example is below. :)

combine the burnt edges with yoru font and I'd say you have a winner there!

  Photoshop CS will help you correct the radius for your lettering very easily and quickly BTW.
