HammerJack playing with fire..

This thing seems to be evolving every time I open up Photoshop.
It's alive, lol...
-----
1st test to see if the transparency will work with the grilled background.
Sometimes VBulletin does not play nice and shows a white background on the image..
No animation, just a static image was the original thought.

-----
2nd test to try an idea for the font face animation.
Only 18 frames of animation on this one.

-----
3rd test. Transparency worked, increased the frame count up to 138 frames of animation.
Also turned on the light flare in the bg to see if it would be a problem.
And obviously yes, that doesn't work.

-----
4th test. Added the solid background to give the light flare a chance.
Still 138 frames of animation.
The face animation is from changing the 'Scale' count in the pattern overlay in the layer style. One point for each frame of animation.

More to come, not sure where this one will take me..

Huge difference in the file sizes. From less than a hundred KB to almost a full MB. I think the 18 frames version does better in the browser with the same visual effect and has less load time. Keep going. I want to see more!!

Well thanks Dragan, nice to hear these words today..

Adding a blue is an easy task but I was planning to play around with the master psd and try a few different things to edge this towards perfection.. :LOL1:

Maybe it's my ole eyes but I wanted to see if I could clear up the BG a bit more. I am seeing a touch of pixelation?
There may be a save setting in PS to help with that. In the past I've also learned that some of these animations don't like outer glows and such in the layer styles.
Let me know if this one above works for you, and the font is batman forever for the larger MT text.

UPDATE.. TESTING..
