Here's a youtube title card for a buddy of mine's upcoming DJ mix. Again, it's based heavily off of Dave Noddings work for Suburban Base Records circa 1990-1995.

I love this style and I think you have made an incredibly good design. The only thing about graffiti is that it is often illegible.
This says Old Skool Hardcore, methinks, but I'm not 100% certain!
Very well crafted, hseiken!Quote:

Great looking style, hseiken.
hseiken I love your work, however like the others I find the text almost impossible to make out. At least I cannot read most of it.
A very nice design. I could see this used as part of a poster.

Alternate version.
As for 'hard to read', it's not meant to be the same thing as a 'logo' where you can read it from far out instantly, the idea is to wow someone, challenge them to stare for a few seconds but not be impossible to make out and people who are aware of this style already expect what it says already.
As well, I think some of you are likely not the intended audience in the first place and so it could be argued that the 'right people' will get it. :) For instance, I'm not the target audience for Marvel movie trailers because I have no idea who anyone they're showing is and what they have anything to do with anything; it just looks like flashy special effects and flashy costumes and a hyper-confusing story, but when I talk to to fans of that series, they know exactly what they're looking at. :)
