Yes, I know what you mean about the perspective.  I was trying to show off
the soft shadows and it didn't look right from above.  Maybe i'll lift the
letters off the plane a bit to see if that helps.  Or, possibly stand the
letters up and view them from the front.  I don't want to go totally
orthographic in this case, since I want to maintain the 3D look. I find
that setting the camera back and using a small camera angle helps keep it
looking "close" to orthographic but not quite (if that makes sense).

Thanks for the ideas,
Mike
