Surf Wave 3D text effect
SURF flows in Pacifico, a loose brush script, coloured teal with dark blue sides and a gold accent. The surface mixes glossy clearcoat, polish and an iridescent shimmer with a soft glow, over a gradient from dark blue to near-black.
Use it on a surf shop banner, a beach holiday reel or a board-rental menu. In the Studio, write your own beach or crew name, change the teal to match your logo, alter the depth, and pick a different gradient to suggest sunrise or deeper water.
