#Ponyflix @netflix
#Impala2013
I got the idea for ponyfying Netflix while I was trying to find which concepts/ideas/etc. should I bring to life in my next wallpaper. I had the font for the video rental and streaming service, so it made things a lot easier for me; in fact, I installed the font BEFORE the Ponyflix thing popped into my head!
The warping of the text was a bit of a challenge for me. After I felt I couldn’t use the Warp Text option on the Ponyflix logo itself, I had to make a work path of it and warped it manually using the free transformation tool to get the desired result.
The red background color from Netflix’s logo was also used on this one, except that its hues were changed to a medium-dark magenta-like color that provided the balance between Netflix and My Little Pony. I also wanted to add the words “Just for Foals” in Helvetica Neue Bold for an alternative version of this wallpaper, but it seemed unprofessional to me that I chose not to do so. (The drop shadow gave it away for me.)
Multiple resolutions of this wallpaper to come.
