A futuristic circuit text effect

This post talks about creating a text effect where each letter seems to be made of a circuit. I have discovered it by chance, but it's nice and looks kind of futuristic, so I decided to share it with you.

If you want to create this one, open this free online text effect generator and put these values there:
- Text: CIRCUIT (type what you want);
- Font size: Normal;
- Margin: 5;
- Background color: 006000;
- Font name: Abduction2002.

Making as explained, you can get a text effect that looks like this (click the image for a full size viewing):


Extra tips:
- it's a really tricky effect. I have used a silver text effect that applied to the chosen font gives us that circuit look;
- there is no very special reason for that background color (I selected this color just to highlight the circuit text). You can try any color you like and see if it generates a good composition;
- you can get many beautiful and imaginative text effects by using this big amount of online text effect generators.

A sunset gradient text effect

It's time to create a nice stylized gradient text effect that has a "sunset mood". It's easy to make and can be very useful.

Start by going to this gradient text effect creator, so configure the interface like explained:
- Text: SUNSET (choose your text);
- Font size: Normal;
- Margin: 5;

- Font name: Berthside.

Extra tips:

- a black background creates a nice (but different) result, so you could like to try it;
- I selected this font because it's thicker in the bottom, so it helps to get an improved sunset look;
- by using these free text generators online, you can produce many beautiful text effects.

Online lava text effect generators

It was published a new set of online text generators dedicated to create nice lava text effects. These lava renderers were incorporated to a software called Online Text Effects.

Using these new online text makers along with some interesting font faces, it's possible to create awesome results. Below you can see an amazing example created by using one of these new lava effects. It's a very nice dropping lava text effect. The lava is guided by the font shape (despite its intrinsic randomness), so the image has a look like if the text itself is made of lava.


You can surf directly to the Lava Text Effects section (it's useful, since the whole page has tons of text effects). Select a lava text to play with and enjoy!
