This one was created by opening a 454x214 pixel new document, typing in "fnord" with the text tool in 128-pixel Sans Bold, and running the Script-Fu > Alpha to Logo > Alien Glow ... thingy.
You'll notice it was cropped down to 390x150 and that the nice glow effect is thus "gnawed" from the edges. Oh, both of these were still post-processed to remove the background, and exported to PNG with gamma. ** Attachment added: "Incorrect image, Alpha command, 390x150 pixels" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4201823/fnord-erroneous-alpha-390x150.png -- "Alien Glow" effect crops too tightly https://launchpad.net/bugs/41759 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
