Description
A new ID. Spheres are great.
Edit: ~TebgDoran gave me some pointers on reality. Much more realistic, it be. Thanks, Dan!

I echo blu99's comments; sleek and elegant are exactly how I'd describe this piece. Nice work.

You always have the best bitmap fonts!
One criticism I will make is the reflections - they look a little out of place starting right at the bottom edge of the sphere.
Unlike a box, where the front edge is usually flush with the ground, with spheres there would still be a little reflection visible behind the front edge, since the back is curved and the spherical nature lifts the sides up so you can see. I think you'll find that if you bump up the reflections a bit, it'll look more realistic.
I put together an example image to illustrate what I mean: [ Example ]
That quibble aside, I like the color scheme and organization, and I love the tag at the bottom - everything about it, from the font to the slashy bars on the sides to the square-box-in-round-box border.
What font is that anyway?

Luckily, I usually always save .pdn's. And bowzas, were you right! It does look much improved. This calls for some friend-advertising...
*TebgDoran makes life a little more real!
I also added some light shadowing to the back two spheres to add depth, and made the "[ HELIO ]" text a little more vivid. Check't out!
The other day, I went on a large search for small Bitmap fonts. I went through almost all of the Pixel/Bitmap pages at dafont, searching for the best of the best. Whichever I thought looked promising, I downloaded, and tested. Some I removed, some I kept.
When I made this new ID, I knew that this would be a perfect opportunity to use one of my new fonts. Anyway, the one used here is M38 Gorilla . Most Pixel fonts have an optimal size; I find this one's best at 4pt (no anti-aliasing, of course).
I have another five to share other than Visitor, if you're interested...

Check'd out!
I'm glad I could help. I love your work, and I usually don't interject, other that to say I envy you, unless there's a reason.
Thanks for the link to the font (and the link in the description - you really didn't have to). And, you know me, I'm always interested in new fonts.
