Hi guys, if you were on General Discussion yesterday you may know that I am making an app for Blockland, if you didn't see the topic, you can view it here
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=203011.0

Anyway, I need a little help with something. On the title screen of my app (shown here)

You can easily see the difference in the two words. Although they are both set to the font Impact, have an outline, and shade. Its obvious that one of them looks like crap.

I was wondering what the best way to crop the word 'Explorer' so that it looks almost exactly like 'Blockland' above, without getting all those weird strange lines.. If anyone would like to take a shot at it themselves heres the link to the un-cropped photo.

I think the app is a great idea. I may have a friend that can help you out. If i can get him online i will be sure to tell him about the project.

Thanks war. I mainly need help with thE graphics. But besides that I'm prett good. The menu buttons look kind of shabby. And with someone who knows how to use photoshop or something like that, but someone who could help with that would be great. :)

You need to make sure that the EXPLORER thing has a 100% transparent background.
