I chose 1 but I'd cut back on the gradient.  maybe fade it so its not jarring.  I like the Old english text though and I think it would work well

also what type of game is it.  that should also influence your text choice.  Old english text with a futuristic setting would be a bit out of place

I also prefer the first one. By all means, though, if your game has nothing to do with the medieval era or anything that suggests grace, fancifulness, elegance, or anything close to such, you can always use the second one.

I like the look of the first one, but the word "Tainted" just seems to work so much better with the second one. Depends on if you're going for a horror-style game as the title sort of implies.

Thanks for the constructive advice.

I already started making the title (I'll be reporting this forum in soon to close it) and when I placed it on a black back, the gradient is far less strenuous, at least in my opinion. Again, thank you though.

I agree, the second text, the word Tainted in itself, the both seem to match the second text more, especially if it was a horror game I was developing, but I'm not. I am doing an straight up RPG. The quality of the first text graphic is better and matches this other theme better. Kind of why I had a hard time choosing. Anyways, thanks for commenting!
