much better. Though I would make the Play in the background the same font as the smaller text, and possibly treat the background as a gradient of text fading to the bottom as opposed to the tessellation of gray - which makes the background a bit busy.
Of those two examples, I actually prefer the random gradient changes one.
Also, I lament the loss of that beautiful yellow color! The "Houston Symphony" logo is getting a bit lost in this version--could you maybe add the yellow back in and use it to call attention to the Houston Symphony logo?
Otherwise, this looks much cleaner--the kerning is way better, thank you!--but it is also definitely more static. A bit duller than the first version.
the gradient, I believe, works better. It also draws the eye down to the rest of the content. I think the Symphony logo is fine as it is a tertiary element.
I still do not like the Play being a more stretched out font then the rest of the type...other than that it is looking pretty darn good.
yeah...IMA HOGG. great name huh? Apprently, that was the name of the woman who started the symphony here-or who started a school of music. I don't know. Maybe I should do a play on a hog?
background white? What is your suggestion? I just used white because I felt that the complexity of all the words with a color would be too overpowering
the big, multiple "PLAY" is distracting and hurts my eyes, the back ground and foreground are fighting for my focus...plus there are times when it reads as "PPPPPP", "AAAAAA", and "YYYYYY"

Thanks. That makes sense.

as long as someone else has started in on the kerning..... you don't have enough space between '2008' and 'IMA'.
it never ends. i love architects

kern '2008 ima hogg' to match 'young artist' and please add a slight space between young and artist....
i think it should really have a piglet on it. pigs are cute and delicious. you can't lose if you change the white and add a little piglet...
mmmm. piglet.
yeah i miss the arrow, too. it was a nice reference to the play music button without being super overt...
vado you are making me hungry with that now. Damn!
