Very nice N20, I was planning on making a K-ON banner but it will not be nearly as good as your banner. ;D

I still think it might need some work.
Do you think it looks better without the white glow?

I think you have done awesome job. It's kind of difficult when you have low quality image sources with jaggy outer lines and edit them to look good in BBT banner. And I love how Nono holds that sign!! It's clever idea/solution =^.^=

When you have low image source as this:


There's nothing much you can do. You create a bg image


Cut and resize the original and implement it to bg


And then you need to find out solutions to make it look good.


Edit: @Phaedris, I noticed that in your first version of that banner, you used the default outer-glow settings with yellow colour ~3px ? But the red looks much better than the yellow =^.^=

Yeah the minute I posted it I had to change it, I also experimented with black but that didn't look good at all.
