Half-Life 3D text effect
Squared, sturdy capitals spell HALF-LIFE in orange metal with dark orange sides and an orange accent. A soft glow rests on the bevel, and a gradient from charcoal to near-black behind gives it an industrial, lab-wall tone.
It suits science fiction game covers, laboratory themed posters, physics channel titles and mod project logos. In the Studio, enter your own title, switch fonts, recolour the orange, change the depth, and adjust the glow or swap the charcoal gradient for another dark colour.
