[Cool Text] Now on the Twitter

Cool Text is now on the twitter. The profile is over at http://twitter.com/cool_text

Feel free to follow since it won't be heavily updated. Pretty much announcements only!

[Cool Text] Now Rendering Faster!

Cool Text now has a faster rendering system.

Where before when rendering a logo you would be put into a queue with a page that would refresh, so rendering a logo would sometimes take 15 seconds or more. Now you will go directly to the result page and the rendered logos will appear much faster.
Please come by and check it out.

[Cool Text] Now Providing Image Hosting and Unicode Support

Cool Text is now providing web hosting for our rendered images. Previously the only way to use Cool Text was to download the images and upload them to a web server or an image hosting site. We can now host the images for you on our servers.

This makes our service easier to use than ever before. When a logo is rendered you can now get a simple HTML code that can easily be copied and pasted onto any forum or social networking site.

Also, we’ve recently added Unicode support to Cool Text. Non-latin characters will now use a Unicode font instead of being rendered as question marks. In the future, we will be translating Cool Text into additional languages that use a non-latin alphabet.

We hope you enjoy the new changes. Thank you for supporting Cool Text and please tell all your friends about the free service.

[Cool Text] Button Renderer

We've been hard at work on an ALL NEW button generator.

It's now available at http://cooltext.com/Buttons

The new generator gives you COMPLETE CONTROL over the design of the button.

New Mouse Over Effects:
- Bright
- Spot
- Glow
- Emboss

When a mouse over effect is selected, two images will be rendered for the
button and a simple javascript snippet will be generated for you as well.

New Button Shapes:
- Rounded Rectangle
- Squared Rectangle
- Pill
- Ellipse
- Circle

New Button Effects:
- Flat
- 3D Sharp
- 3D Round
- Bordered
- Metal 3D
- Gel
- Glass

New Shadow Styles:
- Drop Shadow
- Glow
- Mirror

The new button generator is built on a completely different rendering engine
and doesn't use the same queueing system as the rest of the site, which means
that the new buttons will render very fast.

There are a few example designs we've made that can be viewed at the bottom
of our home page or via these links:
http://cooltext.com/Red-Button
http://cooltext.com/Orange-Button
http://cooltext.com/Pink-Button

The old button designs are still available at http://cooltext.com/Old-Buttons

We've also made some simple cosmetic changes to our site design based on user
feedback.

Of course, every service provided by Cool Text is still 100% free and can be
used completely without restriction.

We hope you enjoy the new changes. Thank you for supporting Cool Text and
please tell all your friends about the service.
