    Mojjito. Black background. No font requirements. Probably white on black is best. Duration 10 - 15 sec? Do take a look at the title animation on this website http://www.garbagedreams.com/ Cheers.

    Sir,
    If you comment on videos, It will be good for us. We spent enough time to produce these videos, I believe you may spent 2 minutes by writing what you don't like or suggest to make it better.
    Cheers.

    Hi, thanks for the invite. I will submit my entry in 2-3 days. I have few questions.... Do you prefer any particular font for the english ( or arabic ) title ? Also do you aim for mono color title ( for example both english and arabic titles white on black BG ) or you would like some color variations ? And lastly do you have any requests on duration ? Thank you

    OK. There is some great stuff here but I am going to change the brief a little. All I would like is animated text on a black background. Awesome ideas so far but lets mix it up a bit. Cheers.
