City built on words

[Vel]

This took FOREVER. This is also my first typography sig. CnC?

i like it very much, great for your first typography
only problem is that theres like a shadow of the building behind the text, it kinda ruins it for me. But if i ignore that it looks awesome

[Vel]

Well, without the gradient maps behind the text it just looked like a block of text. So I threw in gradient fills to change that.

Looks a little like Solaris' sig in the previous round of the ongoing tournament. Lol!
Anyway, tbh, I'm not really liking it, even though I don't know much about typography, I do know that it's not appealing to my eyes. Concept not working for me.
Nice effort and creativity for a first attempt at typography though!

yea i wood say change the outline and also the left building looks really weird i have seen this done before , could be improed a lot but awsome for ur first typography

[MarkPancake]

This is great. Awesome concept, just needs some minor changes. Firstly, If I were you I'd take off the outline on the bottom and use text with a different color instead. Also, the buildings look good but minor changes can improve them alot. Add some little yellow letters for lights. Also the buildings are quite hard to make out (the collapsed ones) so if I were you I'd study real collapsed building pictures and try and replicate the view so it looks more obvious on first glance. Great job though, awesome concept and appealing. Just needs work

you should get rid of those overlaps where the ground meets the buildings - they're distracting. just cut the buildings off right before they meet the ground.

very cool concept.
