Hi all,
here's an updated design - cleaner (less texture), more pronounced embossing and fixed letter spacing.

RE LETTER SPACING... this is what I meant before... there needed to a bit of space to left of the L which can be created by shortening the lower bar of the L
I did a sample for you in photoshop to explain clearer... this gives the LOT a better feeling of being centred in the gold as the space on the left of the L counterbalances the space that sits under the left hand side of the vertical stroke of the T... this is what pro typographers do to 'cheat' the fact that some letters have large negative space around them like A, T and Y while others like H N and O have little negative space. The art of balancing the negative space is called 'kerning'.
