I used to be a member of the club who'd use huge text as filler, text that was overwhelmingly distracting among things.
Now I think it should be smaller, accent the focus and be placed with care. What you don't want text to do is draw attention away from where it's due.

At the same time however it should be easilly readable.

It's not so much the font used, it's more of whether the font fits.

Visitor? New? Ha?

I started to shy away from oversized text a long time ago.

Also you should really save a source file of everything

What is this I don't even

My very first vector sig.

That's not the way to blend. Your render is too obscured by the flat color among things, so the overall image looks incredibly flat and bland to me. Also centering was a terrible choice, compositionally, for this render.

If you want me to fix the text, let me know.

This, likewise, lacks oomph, I'd peg it to the low contrast. On the other hand Mew's been stretched so it looks bad in that regard as well.

My screen is dim right now so I'm not going to absolutely judge but it looks pleasant.

I'd say the problem is Kletz likes to make his borders too conspicious in general.

...Being borderless is not a big deal is it? I mean I can see the hoo-ha about it on a borderless television, but on a sig it's hardly a big deal - it just means you skipped a step.

Anyhow I think this is pretty meh.
It's got a sense of ... ... Just feels like it's missing a lot.

Watermark, also because yes I like that text.

SC font.

Think of it is a personal logo now.

Did you create that text or is it just your favorite.

Salanos like bright colors. Methinks.
