It totally rocks. Good job!

Looks very nice, but the I of Samurai looks like a Z and the ying-yang icon is square.

Yea I noticed that also.
I dont like all the red.

hehe feivel said ass...

ah yas... it rox the sox my friend beutful work except for the I in samuri...

-Too much red: fix by creating double layers with slightly off different clouds and rasterizing them. Or if you don't want a more diffused look, you can overlay a slightly off red-to-red gradient instead.

-Too sharp: self explanatory. The details are too appearent. Fix by adding a small (decimal numbered) gaussian blur. Of course this is, however, a personal preference and doesn't really need alteration.

-Static minibanners = boring: the fun thing about making minibanners is that GFX artists can animate them without having to worry much about bandwidth consumption and loading times. Fix this, obviously, by animating it -- I think it'll work the *best* with a gaussian blur shift then back to normal sharpness and/or animation of the small graphic accompanying the text.

Other than that, not bad.
