2) I wouldn't use too many pictures from any one given game series; makes it look biased
You didn't exactly quote my words, did you now? I never said anything about not using sprites from a game; I thought my comment was clear to come by as don't use too many images from one game, because then it makes it look like you can only play those few games. MAME alone allows 3000 games, not 5.
My image could be made really neat if the images inside the letters were to be animated, but that would most likely be a Shockwave project. Unfortunately I don't know Shockwave.
And enlarging it and sharpening the edges gets rid of resizing artifacts. You know what that word means in reference to PC graphics? Artifacts? Demus, please, I don't know what your deal is but you really know how to get under the skin. Knives and thumbscrews and Cruciatus Curses be damned.
