Ever considered using a text object?
That apart, you may want to intersect your leters with a box. It will help removing
the extra edges 
on the "N".
Use a merge instead of an union for the "N" and "V" to remove those internal surfaces.
Try to change the camera position so that we can see the whole thing.
As is, radiosity looks like it's a waste of time. Using photons can have a dramatic
effect. Set your 
transparent objects as target with refraction on, reflection on may not be useful. Add
some dispersion.
Adding a faint coloration to the substance of your leters may help, use fade_color
color 
fade_distance 4 to 10 times the thickness of the leters to keep it faint and
fade_power some value 
to control it. It's place is in the interior{...} block.
