It was my understanding that any font could be used and that is all there is. I'm sorry if I misunderstood the contest, but that was my understanding. Type doesn't have to be letters, dings and specialty fonts could be used as well. I'll remove it if the moderators think it should be.

I think it should be ok, and I really like this image. Some of the light and shadow conflict a bit though. Having uniform drop shadows on all of them doesnt fit and create enough depth, and the middle box has a highlight on the edge even though it behind the other boxes. Fix up these little details and it'll be great!

Seems like the font choices are okay, but some of the perspective needs work...

I appreciate your helpful comments and will see what I can accomplish. Is the highlight you were talking about the gradient that was used on that square? On the sbs you will see the square and the gradient that was used on it, was that what you were referring to? I am interested in doing my best where it can be done.

different entry

Contest Moderator: Brushes from the internet are considered as outside sources and cannot be used.

got rid of the brushes... the grungyness/grittiness is from noise that i added...

use of 3-d is nice but maybe too much going on.

Not sure this is on theme but I really like it!

very logo like. however i would love to learn how you created this entry. I love the lighting and colour used. GL

Very nice...i like this one very much....

Like an album cover.. very very nice!

very nice

add some details to the background and the ground

The other one wasn't made from fonts. This one may seem more boring to you but at least it's on theme now!

I think you shoulda replaced your first entry with this one...

beg for deleting this double image...

It's a little too simple in my own opinion.

Very interesting yet simple idea. Sometimes simpler is the best way to go. I might have added shadows, but that is a personal preference. Nice Job. Good Luck!!

You know there is a cartoon character almost identical to one on a public television program called "word world" and may be considered copy-righted.

good job on the dog

What's the vertical line at right of "hills"? Are the clouds created from a font?

umm the vertical line is what you see when typing.. it was done by stroking a pen tool path.. i could have typed "l" and made it really thin but it's just a small detail. there are no clouds in the image, just sky. if that causes doubts with the moderators, i'll change it but i like it the way it is.

nice idea ..

this must have taken forever...

WOW!! Nice

ON theme. great creation. well done

nice work,gl

Excellent!

very nice
