That's really tight. I don't like how the floral parts grow out of parts of the purely dark arrow. Details towards the bottom right get a little iffy nearer the corner. The 'w' in Renew doesn't need to be cut off either. Other than those, fantastic.

I really like it. It has a nice flow to it. The B&W also looks really nice.

bleeding text is a major component of this (my) style of design, that's why the entire bottom row of text is running through three bleed lines.

I've noticed, but the 'w' bleeds too much. The Hi-Res makes it look more like a V at first glance; which is why I posted the comment. When I first read the bottom I saw ReplenishRebuildRenev; which isn't really good when you're trying to make a message. See:

See how unlike the original W, it not only remains completely connected to the rest of the wording to maintain the vector look, but also manages to keep most of its right side in; allowing the bleed look? I had to edit this text, but I think your original would look better with something similar.

I see what you're saying. However, I never even noticed how it looked more like a V instead of a W until you said something. When you're looking at the letter, you should notice that a line is coming down from the top of what you call a V, and my brain automatically makes the connection that there is only one letter like that, a W.

Overall though, I think slightly less bleeding than the original would be a better bet.

So Did you Download the Gomedia Packs, or did you buy them?

i purchased the following packs: ornate + scrolls from set 7, skylines from set 6, arrows + urban from set 4, and architecture from set 1. what's it to you?

I saw it was a reoccurring thing and wanted to critique the stuff you made, not the stuff someone else did. I really like the text styles in them all, but the GoMedia stuff man, That stuff can come around and bite you in the ass. A lot of people have the GoMedia packs, and a lot of artists I know think it's an easy way out to fake a vector into your pieces, and makes it seem like it's cheating. I myself shyed away from it, and the last time I used them were for Non-Profit School Project shirts. My big piece of advice is to try to use them less, and less, until you can phase them out completely.

I agree with your stance on them; that's why I use resources for maybe two or three pieces, and then never again. I just really liked how well they fit together with some of my more recent ideas. Thanks for your comments.

I think it looks really good. Nice job.
