Here's the one I sent to the list a few weeks ago:
http://allefant.googlepages.com/allegro.xcf
I used Filters->Map->Bump_Map with a blurred version of the text as bump
map to create the cooltext like embossing. Here I made it a bit more
like the original:
http://allefant.googlepages.com/allegro_b.xcf
But endless ways to play around with this, not sure we want it to look
*exactly* like the old one either, it was made in 5 minutes on the
cooltext site only as well :P

I love that idea. Would all of it have to be generated programmatically,
or would it be allow to, say, use a font file? (anyone got Utopia
as .ttf btw.?)
