Creating Logos and Headings

Finally, I have managed to create a sort of logo type heading for my Paper Tiger Moth page.  The idea was to have white on white with a minimum of shadow showing up the lettering.  I chose Josef Albers simple alphabet and transferred the lettering to white cartridge paper, which I then scored.   After cutting the lettering, I photographed the results and did not get what I expected!

It looks a bit blue, probably because the white balance setting on the camera was 'sunny' and the iso was 1000.  I changed these settings to iso 200, white balance automatic and tried Ansel Adams Zone System (take a meter reading and overexpose by 2 stops for highlights).
Actually, I think I prefer the blue heading!  Oh well!
