Making Art with Text Part 2-using Tagxedo

Tagxedo is a program for making tag clouds. These can be made with basic shapes or using a picture.
I decided to use the Toledo Zoo logo and some text from their website. I did a lot of respins-which is what they call it when you regenerate with a different text orientation or color or font. Here are a couple of the ones I liked best:



One thing that I didn't like about this program is that before I hit save it had a colored background, so what I saw on the screen didn't match what it saved and it's hard to tell what the logo really looks like. So I saved a version as a screen shot. This is that result:



Last, I decided to try putting the words inside the logo instead of outside of it.


Overall, I liked this better than the generated ascii art.
