    Looking great!

    One suggestion: I see lots of people use a font that is a script style and not kern it properly. What is kerning? Take a look at this :





    By bringing the letters together properly, it looks much more natural and professional. You're doing a great job!

    Depending on what software you use, there are different ways to do the kerning/moving of the letters.

    If you haven't already found it, in Aspire, kerning adjustment is 2 buttons to the right of the Text button.

    Just click between letters to bring them together and shift+click to push them apart. Pressing Ctrl while clicking and shift+clicking moves them faster.

    Kyle, Looks good. Did you pocket the Red "K" just a little? Nice crisp edges.

    Black and red are pocketed in, the black is flush with the white background and the red pops out .25".
    Text is vcarved.
