HA! I know what you are saying Darryl, but to me an "outer glow" should follow the same natural principles as a Drop Shadow. The robotic style on the font is good, but the effect produced by the font should look natural. If I am a robot and the sun hits me, my shadow won't look any more sharp than if I were a human (which I only sometimes claim to be ;-) ). Obviously an outer glow isn't as restrictive as a shadow, however as I said I believe similar natural principles should apply.

 

That said, with any form of art it can go beyond nature to produce it's own look and feel. In my opinion, as a Senior Designer by trade, this particular design would look cleaner as stated since everything on the page exists in the natural element in one form or another. One thing I've noticed in my career is that no two designers totally agree with each other, in fact, few can be as ruthless as two designers critiquing each others work ;-) which is why I always try to have an objective explanation that follows some form of logic. Feeble as it sometimes may be :-)
