I'm not saying that you must avoid "text" (many of my title pages are pure text) but you must consider all the variables. And since you are working on epub3, maybe it could be a good idea to set font sizes based on "vw", not "em" (on title pages, of course).

And, besides the solutions posted above, you can also consider a svg image, that is a different thing that a .jpg or .png inside a svg wrapper.
Good call on mentioning landscape mode, haven't gotten around to testing that just yet. Outside of these new title pages, I am not overly concerned. Oh no, I just jinxed myself, didn't I.

RE your and Dion's mention of epub3 I should mention that while I'm very tempted by the merits of epub3, my intention has been to to support epub2 (and possibly other formats) in this and other projects, so I'm trying to resist adding too many epub3-only features and creating more work for myself later. (So far iirc it's all relatively minor stuff that should be easy to repro in epub2, knock on wood.)

Oh, and thanks also for the SVG reminder. I'll mess around with that in a bit. Probably a good fit for these pages.
