You should tell us about the bureaucratic nonsense that lead to this library; or maybe you did but I missed it.

you didn't create anything, you just asked AI to make this. And it's quite bad. Nice that you added screenshots because they make it obvious that you didn't even check the effects:

* rounded corners??? What kind of scanner has ever done that?

* The rotation doesn't rotate the rounded corner mask, so when it's rotated it's so obviously fake

* The bent shadow looks terrible because the text is entirely undistorted and the shadow is just overlaid on top.
