Fruit NInja logo in Gimp

I recently made my version of the Fruit Ninja logo in Gimp. This process only took about more than 1 hour and 30 min. I had to get a bit planned out. So what I did was, I took the Original Fruit Ninja logo and copied down the hex codes into a Notepad file, then I added text and everything and put the exact hex codes onto the image. Looks totally the same. Here was my plan that I put into a .txt file:
Here is the Resolution:
FIRST WORD; FRUIT
First letter: 44096c (Purple)
Second Letter: ff151a (Red)
Third Letter: ffbe00 (Yellow)
Fourth Letter: ff4202 (Orange)
Fifth Letter: 205a00 (Green)
Rotation: none (0.00)
------------------------------
SECOND WORD; NINJA
All letters:
Outer: Blend from Below; 000000 to top: 293342
And inner: Blend from below; ffffff to top: 929292
Text/Layer rotation: -5.63
------------------------------
The font you need for this project is "Gang of Three."

Here are the things you need:

- Gimp 2.6
- Blends and colors + Mixtures
- Gang of Three (font)
- A landscape image (MUST BE LANDSCAPE!) Default Landscape size: 640x400
I got all the images I needed, and here is what I put up!

New Hobby | Graphic Designing--Gimp

I've moved on to another hobby called 'graphic designing' and I got really interested in styling my Youtube channel. I thought things looked a bit dull around Youtube so I thought I might start to 'pimp' things out a bit. Most of my friends who were also Graphic Designers told me I should get Adobe Photoshop or Gimp.

But since I didn't have any money on me, I used Gimp instead. Gimp is an Image manipulation program similar to Adobe Photoshop, sort of like what they call an 'image editor'. Right now, you'll see that on my channel, there would always be a wonderful design as my background. I enjoy Graphic Designing.

So I started a little business. Things were working out. I started Professional Graphic Designing with Gimp when I was only 12 years old. Most tutorials I look at were the ones by Octotuts, Jxtutorials, Gimpknowhow, and Gimptricks.

I also done Photoshop. Two Programs were still both the same, I just needed to figure it out. Just to tell you, Gimp is just as powerful as Photoshop, so I really can't tell the difference between them both. Honestly, I do think they are both helpful.
