The Canonical "Amiga.org header Topaz text" poll

That's a tough choice, because frankly I like the idea of both.

You may have missed the discussion I had with cicero790 here where he added a scanline effect to the existing one. I thought that one looked fantastic.

Actually, I think I just solved my own dilemma. Topaz it is!

It looks like Topaz 8, blown up and intentionally not smoothed out.


That's because it is. If I have any objection at all, it's that I think it should be rendered in the double height 2:1 aspect ratio you used to get on a bog standard NTSC or PAL noninterlaced display. With a gentle scanline effect added, I think it would be visual perfection.

I wonder what the following compromise would look like: Having the word "AMIGA" in the Garamond font and the .org in topaz 8

Looks like we're heading for a clear 2 way split, on this one.
