Just looking for some feedback on this header image I made for a blog.

Blog Header
Re: Blog Header
Hi llogg,
Long time no see!
It looks like behind the black letters are the same letters in white, and slightly offset, something like a shadow. Since the whole header's background is transparent, here in the forum it's on a blue background, and the white shadow has the effect of making the black letters stand out, almost giving them a stark effect. I really like that, because it adds to the feeling of "afraid" or fear. But at ImageShack it's on a white background, and that is mostly lost. So I would suggest making a solid or opaque background.....unless you already know that the blog host site has some default non-white background.
Other than that, I'm intrigued and wouldn't mind have a look at the blog! Because afraid to fail, I am not, lol.

Re: Blog Header
it looks good llog,
On my computer even on the white background it looks good. The text in the background is very subtle on the white background, but for a header Image I think that's a plus.

Re: Blog Header
It has been a while. Did you make up your mind about the blog header? Can you provide a link to it? I'm really curious about web graphics made with Inkscape.
Re: Blog Header
nice work.
for header texts it usually benefits from manual kerning. The letter A in afraid visually seems to stand apart from "fraid" because "f" and "r" look too close. that's the only thing that draws my eyes, apart from a nice design.
