Displacement Detail

[Tom Slattery]

To answer my own question, the stark black itself was the problem. I applied a gaussian blur of about 2px to the hi-res art in Photoshop and that made everything nice and smooth.

I’d still like some more control over the angle that the displacement makes, though. I experimented with stroking the logo in gray, but you can see the steps it makes. Oh well, more fidgeting to do…
