I thought of a kinda neat color scheme. The SNES logo is in red, so have the b start as a different color and fade to red as it approaches the letters snes. I did a quick example to show my idea. I picked blue Ignore the compression artifacts and click the image to see a better view.
HERE is both the outlined and non outline version of the font.

I think a professional would disagree with you guys. The prior font was too rounded and plump for the sleek jaggedness behind it. It looks too much like a toothpaste brand. Slanting the font destroyed the circular balance of the whirl behind it. The text was spread apart too far and the outline was too thin relative to the thickness of the font. I also fixed the yellow projection, it was too nubby.

Actually, this looks more like a font type you would find in RPG games, in the main title. I like it a lot, I wouldn't however be able to make a choice... I like both of your designs.FitzRoy wrote:

Another way of looking at it is that the smooth curves of the text nicely contrasted with the random splatter-shapes behind.FitzRoy wrote:I think a professional would disagree with you guys. The prior font was too rounded and plump for the sleek jaggedness behind it.
I'll grant that synthesized italics rarely look good; I would have been interested to see the swirl with normal Calibri Bold text (not slanted or stretched).It looks too much like a toothpaste brand. Slanting the font destroyed the circular balance of the whirl behind it.
