But it didn't work out that well.

I followed a tutorial, but I really couldn't figure out how to place the middle-colored wood things on some of the letters. Some of them just look...odd to me.

I think it looks good.

Well thanks!
I also just realized the feathering on the M doesn't match the feathering on any other letters...I'm not sure if I wanna go fix it though...

This text effect is kinda starting to look like some cheap dating reality show beginning credit...thing...whatever it's called. Logo? No. Title...screen...thing.
Whatever. I'm tired.

Eh, I hate to double post, but I just finished this. It was pretty simple (except hoping for photoshop to not crash when copy/pasting all the text), but I think it's neat. :)

Ignoring your non-spoilered comments, thank you Eiji. :)

I like it too, but just from looking at it, it seems like it's closer to the top corner than it is to the bottom. Unless that was intended.

Well, regardless of that, I think it looks good.

It might be a legibility issue. Like with the I. The emphasized part is so small that it looks more like an E than an I, so you might choose to emphasize the vergical line instead. Just think about the parts that make the letters what they are.

Really liking this one. Kind of tempted to do it myself. Is there something you followed to do it or did you do it on your own?
A couple of things: The way the N relates to the M is a bit random composition-wise so I'd nudge it a little away from the m and move it a bit higher, so that the top of the N ling sup with the top curve of that M.

For the "nation", I can kind of see it being less, or a different color. Might look kinda nice.

I tried the vertical line, but it actually looked worse, I think. Maybe that was just a bad font/bad letters for that particular effect.

I followed this.

I kinda tried to make the m and the N look like the favicon we have (m above the N). I think if I actually decided to change anything I might make the N a bit smaller, probably the "nation" too. I also did try making "mabinogi" white and "nation" the green we have, but I liked it switched better.

@Hannah - Yeah, I didn't even notice, but I'm sure you're right.

I don't notice these things when it's bigger. qq
