looks good. only things i would do to it is add a border (just a 1px black border would do fine) and make all the text match (smaller has outer glow, larger has stroke/perhaps different colored outer glow)

It's not very easy to see the "Serials at any time" text, other than that it's fine (apart from not having a border, as Soviet pointed out).

Looks better than before, that's for sure. I still think the "Serials at any time" text is slightly hard to read, although other than that I have no criticisms :)

All good except the "Serials at any time".

My recommendation...

Put them as a normal phrase, no over the top spacing or break, just simply "Serials at any time."
Then remove the outer glow, as the background does not mix well with glows.
Then add a 1 pixel black stroke to the text.

This is a quick knock up (it very badly edited due to time and ability :P). Without the originals, it was hard, but this is roughly how I would have it...
The area inside the red box would have lighting, but I couldnt be bothered attempting to add it again :P

As you can also see, I have brushed over it using the "Burn tool" to make the image a lot darker (yours was a little to light for me ;))
