Wow, very nice!

How about a ratman style overlay? This example sucks because I can't reproduce the ratman writing style with my poor picture editing skills, but you get the idea.

Maybe you could try hand-drawing it and then scan it onto your computer. You could use the original ratman overlays as a reference. I think the Ratman idea is pretty good.
Not as good as mine though.

(took 2 minutes) But definitely not better than Master Laggers

I was just wondering what font was used for the "Thinking with", "P_RTAL", and ""Portal 2 Mapping Community" parts of the site logo. I'm making an elevator video and would like to match the text in the logo as closely as possible. Also, I hope it is OK to use the site logo in my video.

Arial Black for THINKING WITH P_RTALS.COM
and Arial for Portal 2 Mapping Community

(I hope it's alright that I posted a YouTube link here. I didn't know how else to send it. )

This is the wide version (600x400) but i also made a high (480x640) one as requested. =D
Please let me know what you think. =D

You're doing it right.

If the bendy in the centre waved that would be absolutely epic. I just cant get out of my head that he doesn't.

If we believe you win (which I am damn impressed with atm) we will tell you how to give it to us.
Oh and

Wow, that looks really authentic. Not something I mind putting in some of my elevators, good job.

Aww, I'd love to take a look at that because I'm curious about the looks, but alas, that would require too much effort for my indolent self...

That would be great to put in a bts or hidden area. And your right, it's definitely not better than my pixel poster.

Here's the new version:

My Changes:
+Added shadows
+Made "Spotlight"-Bendy wave (as suggested )
+Added transition at the end so it loops

zivi put this in-game. Looking at that screenshot, the overlay looks pretty good, but the writing seems a bit small compared to the other ratmann scribbles. (In particular, the other Ratmann stuff seems to have a thicker, bolder stroke.)
To me, the 'P' in 'Portals' should maybe be a bit higher up - it looks almost lowercase in that position, as least to my eyes.

Love it. I can see it fitting to the Aperture PSA music! It'd be nice if 'thinkingwithportals.com' was styled similarly to the site logo. Maybe flash up images/video clips of TWP maps on the video?

Very very good, but I think the last scene with the URL is too short. You really need to be a fast reader for this last text.

Do you mean something like this?

Or without the Aperture Logo (Ring)?

Yeah, the scene really was a bit too short. I made it longer now.
