See its the fonts I have been struggling with. I wanted the font from the box cover, but that requires making a lot of it up.
What if it was just solid green?

Try making the font bigger and adjusting the brightness to make it stand out a little more.

the background was black when they were underground, so its correct, with the exit heading outdoors.

I found two versions of the font...

Hi everyone!

I'm brand new and this is my first post, but I have to say that I love the lemmings banner. That is one of my favorite games next to Zelda :Link . Everyone does such great work here! Hopefully one day I will post something that everyone can admire as well.

Is this a forever sort of challenge? I'm definitely interested in making something, I just need to wait for inspiration to hit.

Also, I'd like to say that while I'm new to the boards, I've been lurking on the blog for a while. I had NO IDEA that you guys make the banners yourselves! That is so awesome. :hello:
Current Project(s): How much time do you have? LOL
