Nostalgic Pixels Banner - trackpants - 03-28-2011

Just a basic banner I made, where do you guys think I could improve upon it?

More contrast, it's not very readable as it is
RE: Nostalgic Pixels Banner - trackpants - 03-29-2011
more contrast between the letters? so they don't look like they are joining?
RE: Nostalgic Pixels Banner - The_Doom-ed_one - 03-29-2011
Logos are my strong point, so I can say without a doubt that this needs more contrast as it's a little too strenuous to read. Logos should pop out at you with clarity and flair.
In other words, try making the middle of the letters darker and the outlines lighter so it pops more.

Is that better?

I'm going to be completely honest. That green and that purple really hurt my eyes. They are too... is it called saturated? Opposite of dull.

The S' could be a bit thicker for on the top and bottom
RE: Nostalgic Pixels Banner - trackpants - 03-29-2011
Does anyone else have a problem with the colours? If I make the "S" lines any thicker there won't be a gap between them :/

I think you took my advice a little bit too far. The grey was a nice color for this logo, I just thought it could use a little more contrast.
If I could make some color scheme suggestions:

I hope that helps.

Thanks the doomed one
RE: Nostalgic Pixels Banner - Cobalt Blue - 03-29-2011
the font desing you're using right now is simply horrible. you might want to give it some sort of common elements between each letter to actually have a display of both desing and readbility between each character, rather than just draw whatever comes to your mind and throw whatever derp color comes to your mind.
even if this is just a small practice or a quick project, planning is a must. having a clear idea of what you want to do and how you want to do is the only way you can produce something of an acceptable quality.
RE: Nostalgic Pixels Banner - Garamonde - 03-29-2011
I also think that the L's are a bit too thick... You should probably make it the same thickness as the T's and I's, or at least the C.
RE: Nostalgic Pixels Banner - KoopaEater - 03-29-2011
Yeah, make all the letters the same length and width, if you can.
RE: Nostalgic Pixels Banner - trackpants - 03-29-2011
All the letter have the same square area size in which they were placed.
RE: Nostalgic Pixels Banner - Gors - 03-29-2011
yes, but the lines are thicker on the L than it is on the S, for example.
