    Smile Random bits

    Just thought I'd post a few bits...
    The big circle is from an old logo that was to use flash (one of the rings is transparent so it could be filled in with flash, but I never bothered with the flash bit).
    The small button with Japanese text on it was from my last website (which died when the guy hosting me had a server oopsie and ended up changing hosts) and the top two in the box are something I just knocked together for fun after seeing the new iMac promo material on apple.com.



    I'm not happy with the diamond in the box though as I couldn't get the text to look right.

    By the way... It's not that I have recently gained an apple fetish, it's that I learned to do the glassy thing ages ago and I can do it better than other things, so I keep knocking off Apple graphics when bored (the ruby on rails blog I posted about a while ago looks like an enhanced version of an old part of apple's site as I was planning on using it for an actual site, but didn't).

    You have some skills when it comes to graphics Ill tell you that Some nice work...

    I like the AMD logo - thats ace. Great work on that.

    Maybe on the triangle text you could make it perhaps a bit bolder and make the gradient on the text more visible...

    Good work

    Yeah, I said I was unhappy with the text.
    If you look at the origional on apple.com, the gradient is over the text and such, but when I tried that, I couldn't make it look as good without completely messing up the gradient :[

    IMHO, the AMD one is better quality than the real one simply because the real one had really poor compression, so it didn't look all too great :/
