Edit: Updated the shading of my emote to fit my new style

A couple of months ago I revamped my CSS and chose a blue theme rather than the black I had had previously. As I have always liked my ID and Journal to match, i've been wanting to created a new ID ever since.

Its taken me a while to come up with and idea, but I'm happy with the result. I created most of this by trial and error. I decided having some rays in the background might be nice, so attempted those and found a few neat effects for them to make the swirl. I updated the shading of the emote and decided to keep the same text as before.

I then added a fade on top of the background to focus on the centre more and created a sort of border for the edge. I then needed some sort of glow behind the emote and although its not perfect, I'm quite happy with my result
