The Citadel [Quenched]

[TaCktiX]

The same font on the rest of the map is the font on the legend. I don't see a need to change the legend.

I don't think yeti is talking about the font, rather the drop shadow and colours?

[TaCktiX]

The colors are identical to the base colors of all the continents, before the gradient is applied to them. That certainly doesn't need to change, though lessening the effect of the drop shadow on the large (where it's offset more) is a good idea.

Version 23

Updates
- Reduced the drop shadow length on the Large's legend to make it in keeping with the Small

Small (600x461)

Large (700x538)

Could we see a version without the drop shadow at all?

Alrighty, two options I have here. Version 24a is without any drop shadow AND a slightly lightened red on Avenue of Remembrance. Version 24b keeps the drop shadow and has only the slightly lightened red. Both are easily readable, but I think 24b looks better.

howabout instead of the drop shadow, just a really slight black outer glow? But of the 2 options above, I prefer B.

Yes- I think that could do it - I do prefer B - but I think it does look a bit off considering the other text on the map has no drop shadow at all. -> In fact the Parade Deck text is also Legend text and has no Drop either (for obvious reasons).

Just to enquire as to any answers to my post?

I'm stalling this map intentionally, as I need to clear the license of The Citadel (a fact I had overlooked until I found out the mere name is copyrighted). I was hoping to do so by being strangely quiet on my map's development, but hand hast been forcéd. That, and my hard drive reformatted itself again. I still have a source PSD, but bringing it back up to date with the present version may be a little difficult.

I have two backups. One is older than the nice trees and I have immediate access to it, and the other is hopefully on Gimil's computer.
