Ever use DMC Color Variations floss?

I'm stitching models of my designs to photograph, and while I was at it, I thought I'd stitch my company logo for my shop banner and forum avatar. I like the idea of using variegated floss for the logo, but I've never worked with it before. Have any of you stitched thick lettering with variegated? Did you like how it turned out? Anyone have items in their shops stitched with variegated so I can have a look? :)

I particularly like #4025, 4030, 4240, and two of the new ones, 4245 and 4212. Love. Jewel. Tones. So. Much. It's just hard to find good sample photos online, mostly pictures of the skeins themselves. :\

thx!

I have used it in the past and really like the finished look it has, here are a few hand embroidery items where I have used it
on the christmas tree, on the word The Shopper, and the Sun

I used it and still using it on words and variegated flowers. Every cross stitch has to be finished as you go in order to maintain the variegated appearance. You can also do it the "classic " way all the stitched in one direction then cross stitch in another - it will give you a more "colorful look - sometimes it looks "messy" - so choose wisely for what you use it!

Although I don't have any pics of what I've used it for I did like it. It does work particularly well with text.
