    Nice. I like them, i think they're almost perfect :) some edges are a little crappy, but generally, really nice :)

    Yeah, the edges need some fine-tuning. Also, I don't like the scrolls behind the text, it makes the text some-what hard to read, and looks odd because the text doesn't wrap along the scrolls.

    Gold: Improve on edges, take out the pillars
    Silver: Same as gold
    Bronze: More vibrant color, improve on edges, improve on the perspectives of the medal
    Supporter: Colors are awkward, edges again

    Not bad, but not stunning

    thanks yes, i know the edges are a bit off, I geuss its an easy fix, so i might as well fix it... Personally i like the scroll, its diffrent from other trophies.

    the colors on the last trophy i also thought was diffrent, although i do not believe that its horrible.

    Well, I think you could've picked a better scroll. One that isn't wavy because it makes the non-wavy text on top of it look out of place. Also make sure the scroll is large enough to encompass the entire length of the text.

    I'll agree that the last trophy is different. And I'm not saying that its horrible either. Its just not as "professional" as the rest.

    completely agree with the not as professional, but i made it a fun trophy for a couple people that couldent make the open.. so its just meant to be colorful :)

    good idea with changeing the text to be wavy :) you dident say that but, instead of changeing the scroll, i can just warp the text..

    thanks for your comments

    :p Its hard to change the text to match exactly with the curviness of the scroll. Even a little bit off will make it look awkward. Plus, its probably better to have the text as easily visible as possible, meaning no "warpiness"

    This is doable in photoshop.. I've done it a few times myself. I don't have ps installed nor have I used it at any recent time but I believe it's under the Edit tab.. it's something like Free Transform but it has a line and you can insert blocks that skew the line and you can use this to align the text in such a way.. sorry I can't be more helpful but this is all I remember :x

    ya i know what your talkng about, thats how i planned on doing it.
    But then thought to myself.... these trophies are done for free, they are like 1000000% better then the trophies they were useing..... hrmm... think im going to just give it to them as-is.

    btw what you talking about is the free transform option ( or w/e its called ) I believe.
