I like the corona, is their any way to emboss my username on the left side, while leaving the corona on the right.

The stars one is also good, although the name is difficult to see.

Im afraid I detest the use (or overuse) of embossed fonts. I've never and will never emboss. Sounds daft but hey, I think it looks a bit cheap.

With the stars the bluriness is intentional, here is it without.

I can make a few other designs if you like?

Moved the text which makes it much more legible.

Fair enough.

The blurriness wasn't the problem, it's more the way the font blends into the stars.

Open the image in photoshop. Make sure it's unlocked. Go to edit, then stroke, this will open a dialogue box, set desired width (normally 1 or 2 pixels) and colour. Check the inside box then ok. Jobs a good un.

Glad you like them mate, its google image search inspired as usual

You liked the other space ones so I just looked for more images. The 3rd and 4th ones are NASA renders.

No ideas at all? It's hard to think of something for myself, never mind other people, hence why I have such random sigs.
