Look like green 'slairotut' sinking in tar.

Otherwise I have no idea what you are asking

**x DeaDLy** · 30 May 2009, 03:52 AM

Welcome to TalkGraphics, x DeaDLy.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking either. As far as I know it's not a template in anything I've seen. It looks like linear filled text on a black background with a linear transparency of some type applied to it.

I do know that the font used for the lettering is Ghastly Panic and is a free font available from dafont.com (see example text below).

IHTH,
HayTay

Oh thank you soooo much thats wat ive been looking for !! the font of this ! lol

Good on you Harry - my crystal ball is away being serviced, otherwise I might have known that x DeaDLy was asking 'what the font' right away

BTW x Deadly, this forum is primarily a Xara software users forum (see foot of page).
Of course many Xara software users also use PhotoShop, but due to the price, speed and agility of Xara Xtreme (for example) PS isn't discussed quite so often.

And Welcome to TalkGraphics Forums

X DeaDLy, you're quite welcome.

BTW, I didn't use What the Font on this one, Steve.

Although I have in the past and will, no doubt, resort to it in the future as it is a valuable resource in identifying unknown fonts.

As sledger noted, many of use here on TG use Xara software products because of their price, speed and agility. What he missed mentioning was the fantastic results obtainable from their line of software. Just take a look at what was done using Xara's flagship product, Xtreme 4. In a few minutes, I came close to duplicating the original example you posted.

Why not download the trial version of Xara Xtreme 4 and give it a try?

Cheers,
