Flaming Text Battle Which one to use?

[Thunderstruck]

HEy,


need some opines here.
Would like to get inputs on what you think.

This is for my current project Battlestar Apocalypse:The Battle Begins Pt. 1

Debate over Texturing of Flaming Text.
The only changes are on the text Front Caps.

This clip is one of what I use for the Intro and Credits portion of the video.

Been some comments that it needs a grungy metal texture.
Which Clip do you prefer? Any aspect of any Clip? Dark or Light Text Caps with Flames?
1st Seq: Currently used
2ndSeq: a combination of all
3rd Seq: A solid Grungy Texture



Find myself liking aspects of all, but need to decide which to include in updated video.
Think also I would prefer the Text Caps to be dark.
Also had the idea of building a platform to frame the text and use that as the flames emitter.

Think I prefer the text as the emitter.
