Thanks man... Here is one I did yesterday, one of very few I didn't use a render. All the effects are done by hand, I just used two C4D's.
Both are over-contrasted. Colors could be better in teh second, they're fine in the first. I dislike the text in both. In the first one it seems too large.
Don't confuse being bright with being over-contrasted. I can somewhat agree that the first might be, but that's part of the grunge look in many tags. The second one though, I see no hint of over-contrasting. Thanks for the input all the same though.
