refering to my points listed above, here is my try...
FONT: Scratched car paint, the same as the redcore logo (check my site)
i made this in Adobe Photoshop, basically, if you can find a good font, you can do some customizations, and make some great effects, for instance, using a 1px brush tool, i created light scratches around the lettering and lightened the scratches and parts of the text with the dodge tool, aswell as a glow to the lettering, to make the blood not look TOO sharp, also some smudges were made after mixing some brushes.
its better to do a "scratching and worn style" like that, it helps show deperation and anger
sorry for thread jacking, if it must be called that, i was merely expressing some techniques with y'all
sorry, i merged the layers and painted on the background, so i cant really make this an overlay/decal with the alpha channels, feel free to take the pain staking job of making that transparent if you want
