Feil made a desktop image
GIMP, from a source image R, C, TM, owned, belonging to, chained up in the basement of, enslaved to, gene-coded to such that it will explode if anyone but a Judge touches the handle, and soul-bound to for all eternity until the ending of days, Games WorkShop and/or its minions.
Any comments or suggestions for how to make it better? I'm not quite satisfied yet, but I'm not particularly skilled at GIMPing.

The logo and colours are just right, but I'm not sold on the font. It looks a bit skinny - do you have something that's a bit more solid?

Spelled Armor wrong.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Desktop looks good Feil, but I agree that you need a more robust font... and spell checker.

Armor is actually an accepted form of spelling in America... just check Webster's. That said, armour looks cooler.
(In fact, right now my spellchecker is telling me that armour is wrong...)

That's because Websters is wrong, deviant and... American.
40k is wrong and English.
I quite like the font there myself, it's a classy wallpaper.

Re: Feil made a desktop image
Very clean and sharp, though I'll echo the comments about a beefier font. I mean, everything else in the Imperium is beefcake, why not its fonts?

Re: Feil made a desktop image
May I suggest the font Kochfraktur instead of the Roman Capitals you have? It's very Gothic Bible-esque. Example, Latinised because I'm cool like that, but missing texturing or centering:
Kochfraktur and other Fraktur fonts
If you use one, make sure to read the directions to actually know what keys to hit to produce the extra ligatures/variant lettertypes. Oh, and probably know when to use which.

Re: Feil made a desktop image
Yeah, Fraktur is a lot better.
I also suggest to make the font as wide as the wing tips of the bird.

Re: Feil made a desktop image
And kick out the bevel of the font. The bird is flat so there´s no need for the font to be beveled.

"Death before dishonour" they say, but how much dishonour are we talking about exactly? I mean, I can handle a lot. I could fellate a smurf if the alternative was death.

Re: Feil made a desktop image
Why the embossing?
Re: Feil made a desktop image
Two reasons. First, while the bird is sorta flat, there is some texture to it so I thought the font should have a bit as well. The second reason is that I just randomly tried stuff from what MS Paint has to offer and this one just hit a chord with me .
