Well, I was playing around in Ps and I came up with this.
Ok, the database center problem has been resolved. ;)  UPDATE: (Reflection's Perspective)  UPDATE #2: (Reflection's Perspective)  UPDATE #3: (Reflection's Perspective & Longer Gradient)  UPDATE #4: (Reflection's Perspective Adjusted, 'Floor' Gradient Adjusted, & Text Gradient Adjusted)  I liked it so I set as my desktop background but now I'm thinking of probally submitting it. I was just wondering what you think or if maybe something should be added/modified. Thanks.

Mikeeeeeeeeeeeee. Aw Mike. I need to see some variety from you. It's like, the same colors. Same font. Same..method. Spice it up! I can understand style and how someone does certain things, but they can still have a variety-filled 'folio. Just, try a different font. Like, Georgia. And go from there. |

It's cool. I think it'd look a lot cooler if you animated it. Like had each number light up.

The mirrored letters look kinda stretched and distorted. And I think the numbers should sort of glow. Like illuminate. Just add like a white drop shadow directly under them. Really cool though! That mirroring effect is underused. I really like it.

Well, I did add an outer glow but I guess you can't really see it. =\ Also, I tried to make the reflection realistic like as if it were a glass floor, you know? And if you look at a reflection on a glass floor from a distance, the reflection looks kind of squished so yeah...*shrugs Thanks though.  |

Higher the opacity if its lowered. Edit: Did you update it? I think the glow doesnt look as good cause it ends kinda sharply. Set it to soft glow. I think you can do that in photo shop. And ditto for the glow beneath. |

It's nice. You should add a glare to the main font to make the reflection stand out more.

Looks great! But thats not the gradient I meant. I meant the one in the text. Cause it looks like a thing white bar. it needs to be longer.
