GAME TITLE TEST, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

CloseOK, so my game is being worked on now (finally) due to finally getting my stuff pulled off my broken computer; one task that I wanted to get done was the title for the game.
I've came up with one and I would like everyone's honest opinion on it; this is the very first logo I have ever really made successfully on my own (I normally just DL one and then change the image around to make it look like I made it, very wrong to be doing... Thus is why I've never had a title.)
Anyway, there it is (its going to be placed on a sort of dark - cloudy sky back-drop); please let me know. Oh, and no, I can't get rid of the edges being that way; I am using Gimp and don't know how. Used a tutorial to get them that smooth anyways, they were originally very sharp and nasty looking.

I believe you can blur the edges around the moon and then finish the touches with the Smudge tool.
And I think I have to see this logo on your dark-cloudy sky backdrop before i can really comment on whether it fits in. Now I can't 'cause, well, it's on a bright background.
No prob, i actually just finished the final tester image and posted it on my game page.
Let me know what you think; and I think I solved the edge problem (for the most part). :)
EDIT:
I'm trying to get into the game so as to post an in-game preview of this, but I keep getting an error:
Ignoring gAMA chunkwith gamma=0
CNxFile Object:
Graphics/System/1stTitle.png
Know anything about it? I think there was a tool that allowed you to open up your image file and change the gamma setting yourself, but I don't have it anymore and can't find it...

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

First, I would make the clouds semitransparent so you can see the moon through them.
Second, it sure looks to me like to the left and right of the moon, there are clouds behind the moon. Unless your game takes place in a world where the moon is low enough that you can fly a helicopter up to it, you might want to take care of that somehow. Make sure the sky behind the moon is actual sky, and not more clouds...
I actually liked it better by itself, with just the moon and text. But if you fix the clouds (or find a totally different sky picture) it will hopefully fix the problem. The moon and text look good.

Ditto, though I think since your game's title contains "The Fall of Nations", wouldn't you want to find a darker background...? Like maybe a night background? With the sun, it just seems kinda weird and it doesn't depict the meaning of Fall of Nations. And yes, I would also want to make the clouds semi-transparent. It would be better to see the full moon at its full glory rather than being covered by the clouds.
On my first impression of the logo without the background, I was certainly expecting a dark night background, since you have that luminous glow on the words. With this background though, all your work on the luminous glow of the words would just be for naught. So maybe you should choose a cloudy night background instead.

Hmm... I hadn't thought of any of that. Well, I took the image and applied it to a darker background and then played with some clouds I found. I'm not good with clouds, but this is the only thing I could come up with...
Again, please keep in mind, I'm terrible with clouds... :/

I really like that! The clouds are good as clouds go, but I would remove them and see how the title screen looks without them entirely. You might also want to simply use little touches of them around the bottom and right edges of the picture, so it looks more like a sort of "mist" swirling around the edges.
OK, here's the images that have it without clouds and then also with extra clouds to make it seem like fog.
No Clouds:
Fogy(?):
What do you think?

I like it better with clouds. If I had to choose one of the ones you've shown so far I'd go with the last one.
If you do a google image search for night sky with clouds you can get a lot of ideas for the screen's composition. I have no idea where to download cloud samples though! Maybe just download one of the search results and slap your moon on top of the real moon, haha.

I showed it to a buddy of mine and he said he couldn't read the text... Anyone else having this issue? (Of course, he's also sitting on the other side of the room)

It's just him. It is kind of dark, but the glow around the text makes it very readable. It's probably the angle he's looking at the screen from. If you look at some types of LCD screens from the wrong angle, everything becomes very dark or very light.

OK... How's this?
Now this is perfect! :) Just add a teeny bit more glow to the words and it should be awesome.
You guys are awesome... Thanks for making me feel a lot better about it. :3
Ty also for being honest, since it was my very first title, I appreciate it a lot.

I should totally make one of these threads, I also have actually never done a good title screen to save my life before. Gotta have an attempt first though.
