That looks fantastic to me, nice job. Although the shadow at the top of the red layer appears to be a bit out of place.

EDIT: I'd like to see feedback from others regarding which is preferable.

Other attempts of course are also welcome.

It's not preferred. The font is wrong, and the gradient doesn't look good at all.

It was there on the Genesis, although it's more noticable at 2/400%. I'll kick the layer up a notch if you want.

That looks particularly dreadful! Perhaps reading the thread would have shown that we more or less have the title card style established?

I know, I was being sarcastic, I know that tittle card was awful for a Sonic game.

There was a TTF font created by LOst way back that was pretty much an exact replica of the S2 title card font, except scalable (he used it for the old SClassic and A51 logos). I don't have it anymore though, lost it in a drive crash long ago. Anyone else here happen to have it? That'll pretty much end all this "wrong font" discussion.

As others have stated, I think we should just keep the title cards simple instead of trying to glam them up just because we can. No gradients, no over-the-top shading. Just nice, crisp, and clean.

Do you people remember what Sonic Team did with the title cards in SA2, huh?

And now, my newest set of spikes. I honestly think this is as curved as they should be:

There's a larger version of the monitor here: Image:Monitor.png

I need to change it to match the S2 style monitors.
