What I think I may do is instead of the Awards text, I may just add a tag-line to the very bottom of the design. :) Updates coming soon...glad you guys like it.

Also, when you guys say "I like the 1st one" are you referring to the one with the sun?

I like the one w/out the sun.

And also, I have to second one of JR's suggestions: "Lose the paper texture, no need for that with your design." In fact, to me, it takes a lot away from the design, it doesn't fit at all...it's only there on the sky, so it looks like the sky is paper, not that the whole design is on a piece of paper that is crinkled.

First one - is the one without awards text, but with the sun flare :) That looks good :)

I'm thinking it's about 98% done. I just need to make some minor tweaks, and add the "Shooting Gallery" logo once I find it or if somebody has it? Anyways, take a peak.

Pretty good! A few suggestions,

The front
• the lens flare is a great effect to use but is most effective when it is multi-colored, blended with low opacity so it doesn't stand out too much.
• I was really digging the paper texture it still looks nice without it but I guess it fit the TT in a unique way.
• the sky needs some color for a little more "pop"

The back
• the layout looks neat and clean so far, great job!, my only suggestion would be to fill the empty space on the far right with an image of Bill

Keep it up this looks nice

Yeah I was feeling the paper texture too. I'll play around and see what I can do ;)

The rust is officially all gone, and Chuck is back in grand style. :cheers:
Nice choices along the way, and a very nice result!

If I had a suggestion, maybe try to bring a tiny bit more gold into Billy Bob on the front? His face and hands are skewing just a little red at the moment.

How would the bottom of the back look if you brought some of that distressed texture from the front in? Would that kill the readability?

(Also, I had no luck, but if you can find a scan of the back of "You Can Count On Me" from Paramount, that's got your Shooting Gallery logo too.)

Commendable job so far on a tough title. :)

Great work, have tried to find the shooting gallery logo but no luck there. I really would like to see the spine :)
