Description This is my first Digital attempt of the Titel. As you can see, I changed the style quite a bit compared to the 2009 and 2013 versions. It's done in Photoshop but still messy. I will make my next attempt in Adobe Illustrator where vector based imagery is cleaner than pixels. Keeping the feather though. I will also play with the titel some more by applying the same typography style to it's Hebrew variant. This will be done in traditional media first, of course.

I imagine the finished piece to be clean, with a bright red boarder, dark red inside with a red gradient, and who knows....maybe a little extra.

Let me know what you guys think.

Looking good!I like that the wings on the letters are sharper, but the feather representing the "I" is rounded. This will look great once it's done!

I think vector would be the best route with titles and text. But you still did an nice job on this. Seriously, dem wings, and the feather, that looks a bit like bird from the top.  

Speaking of Hebrew, my ears are pleased and aroused by Amir's OVA theme. At first I thought the vocals were Arabic. And then I really began listening to the vocals and realized it wasn't; different sounds. Kinda sucks not hearing Hebrew a lot. It's pretty.

Oh, it is Arabic. Hebrew and Arabic do share a lot of words and sounds. And some Hebrew speakers do use the terms "yalla", "habibi" and such, which are more recognized by arabic speakers. They are like cousin languages. But you hear more gutteral in Hebrew; plus Arabic and Hebrew have different stresses on vowel sounds from each other. Idk, For me, it's pretty easy to tell the differences, once you become more familiar with both. This would not be the case a couple years ago. lol :3 But yes, the lyrics are in arabic.

For example, even though the word for "Eye" are the same in Hebrew and in Arabic, the plural and 1st person possessive are totally different. "My eyes" (Ha-Ay-in-i-im She-li)  doesnt exist in the lyrics at all. That's how I know it's arabic and not Hebrew. העיניים שלי

I'm sure if you listen to it again, you can pick up what sounds like the French J and English W. These sounds are hardly common to Hebrew, but to arabic, it's everywhere.

After all, Amir is a Arab-Jew.
