How to do a Web 2.0 reflection with lowercase y's and g's

What do you guys do for the web 2.0 reflection when the name has a lowercase y, j, q, p, or g that goes below the common line?

Take a look at my example.

When I start the reflection at the bottom of the y, it makes the whole logo look like it's floating too high.

How do you guys get around this? any ideas? I tried all caps fonts, but I really like this font (VAG rounded) and the web 2.0 style.

Thanks!

 

raise the Y on the same level as the other letters.

 

Thanks Steggy, but I've tried that and it looked really awkward...

Any other thoughts?

 

Put it where you would usually put the reflection, except make it more transparent so you cant see it as much.

 

Or put it on the layer below the text so it doesn't matter about the opacity.

 

make a feature out of the y tail and underline the whole text.

 

Wow, great input guys! Thanks a lot.

Can anyone point out any examples of logos that use these techniques? (I'm looking for a little inspiration)

Thanks!

 

Here you go buddy



Alternatively you could just write the text in CAPs, either way it works out.

Josh this is really good for a logo design.I like the "g" who smiles me.)

If you have time please write down how you do that.

 

this looks horrible!!!! the "g" doesnt even look part of the same line anymore..aaahahah

 

Lets see you try then. Don't be an ass and post things like this, moron.

Think of it, if it was a real object how would it reflect?

not great

(just random letters)

 

I think freebanner's idea is the best.

 

the underline is the best of the bunch...and if it was a *real* object none of the letters would drop below the line...think about it! My wife has a glass company that makes a lot of custom glass paper weights and such...imagine one that dropped below the table it was sitting on

What I like to do is use all caps, and make the first letter a larger font size as to stand out, does the trick.

 

completely disagree..looks horrible, the most professional is cutting off the shadows of the tailed letters
