Instead of using boxes, use prisms with linear_spline to make the letters.
This will make it easier to clean up the 'N'.

The 'S' could be done with a prism using bezier_spline to get both flat &
curved surfaces, but you need to know a thing or two about where to put the
control points.  If you post the code for the 'S' I can do a bezier
version...

Beyond that, using photons & dispersion could make quite a difference.
Radiosity won't have much effect on the 'glass' letters.  Unless you plan to
put more plain-coloured (not transparent or too reflective) objects in the
scene it would be quicker to leave it out.
