I think I'm a bit rusty.

Agree ^u^

To much black shadows and bright highlights, go easy on the lightning.

Smudgeing the render would suit this tag very well and also increase the blending. Keeping the music notes black, and not brown/orange, would increase the quality. Try to implant more of the colors from the render to the rest of the tag. Like that red tone, red always spice things up.

Keep working on it and welcome back to the game :)

thanx for the input, I'll re-work it and see what I come up with.

haha this is a cool render-- i think that would be cool with vector shapes too :) WB...

I was considering swapping the top glow with a shining vector, don't know though cause it looks out of place to me.

reused some layers, but I did change the gradient maps a bit, got rid of the bottom glow, re-did the shadows a bit, played with the text a little, the smudging I did was in the background mostly, the music notes were reused but I edited their blends so they are more visible.

V2 looks cool, nice work :)

I love the smudging in v2
