Great work as always MrD! I was concerned after the first draft, but it's looking very nice now.

Could I suggest a different font? Not a huge fan of that one. Perhaps:

Thanks for the kind words JoeyJJ , much appreciated

( First draft ,as always , was to get the ball rolling and bring out more input )

Fonts are very subjective ( IMO ).

I tried to pick one in line with the film theme and what was being asked for , a mix of "olde worlde" and fantasy.

At the end of the day its someone elses site , and their decision.

I'm quite happy with it and hope they are so far.

Cheers,

Mark

Of course sir, yes definitely very subjective. Just looks a bit weak to me. Like you say maybe it just needs a bit of tweakage. Small caps might look nice too.

Fantastic work mrdbristol,

Ive not managed to get hold of raja yet but i like it .

looking at joeyjojo's link, could you possibly just try it with this font.

ImperatorBronze.ttf

That would be great thanks.

See what i mean about subjectivity, i go font blind after a bit.

IMO it now looks a hell of a lot better , excellent suggestion 10/10

I think that font looks better than the original,

I cant make the decision on my own, but im more than happy with this personally.

:cool:

Thanks,

Looking at the votes in the private section in the forum, it looks like we all like this,

Raja's not online right now, but im sure he will post up in the morning sometime.

If you want to send me a mail in my trust , we can talk about a fee for this fine image.

I will talk to you more in the morning sometime when ive had a decision

I also want to thank Almeda for your contribution, its just this one is perfect for what we are looking for

Glad you're happy with it. Good job, very classy.

I know what you mean. Especially with a sample bit of text, I just end up reading it over and over again and not even looking at the font. There's so many!!

Hi Mrdbristol,

the decision is unanimous, we love it...

If you like you can hold onto it longer for further tweaking, if you feel you can push it and polish it even further (I like giving people all the time they need to really let their creative side work), though I'm happy already....

Let us know via email your fee and we shall see you fine...

regards
Raja

If you're up for polishing, I'd fiddle with brightness and contrast, and change the colour of the clock from that yellow to a kind of musty brown, a la:
