I don't know, just felt like changing "Dr Pepper" to "Dr Dre"

This is my first serious attempt at image manipulation of this scale. Normally I just make it convincing enough at a glance that it doesn't look horrible and then call it good, but this time I actually decided to put in some effort and come up with a better result. This is by no means perfect, but I am proud of what I came up with. If anyone would be willing to give me advice on where and how to improve, that would be awesome. (I have some places in mind, but I just want to make sure that other people notice the same stuff as I do before putting effort in to change it.) I'm using GIMP with the Resynthesizer plugin to do this. (The registered trademark R symbol was added quickly at the last minute because the space felt empty to me, but now that it's there, I think it looks worse. Should have corrected the angle better. Or just used the one that was already on the image.)

This looks good. There are a few minor things you could change but not a bad job.

The main one that stands out to me is the missing white graphic like the original..........



Also, try placing it on a lighter colored BG and add the drop shadows. This will give it some dimension.

E would look better with the shadow fixed.

Came back to this with Adobe Photoshop this morning. (I have access to it for about an hour a day on a school computer.) I must say the E looks much better now, I didn't realize how much I was off on that shadow. I might just leave it like this for a while, but I think there is some stuff I would still like to work on, especially near the right edge on the blurry white part (it's shaped a bit weirdly, but I am pretty sure I can fix that with GIMP's Cage Transform). Again, suggestion/critique is encouraged and appreciated, but based on what I got last time I think I'm pretty close to a finished product. There is certainly room for improvement though.
