i wouldn't pref to do it in any browser cause they all render it very different.. but you could do it with javascript

Documentation http://code.google.com/p/jquery-rotate/

Commands $('#theimage').rotateRight(45); $('#theimage').rotateLeft();

This would render it the same in IE 9, chrome, firefox, opera and safari cause its using a canvas object instead of turning the text by browser rendering

It will use the old codings for ie8, 7 & 6 Generate it here

/* IE8+ - must be on one line, unfortunately */ 
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(M11=1, M12=-0.1763269807084645, M21=0, M22=1, SizingMethod='auto expand')";
/* IE6 and 7 */ 
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix( M11=1, M12=-0.1763269807084645, M21=0, M22=1, SizingMethod='auto expand');

Working ex

IE 7&8 tested Fiddle (margins need to be different in chrome and other browsers cant say why but it does)

If you dont know how to differ css trough out the different browsers see this link

My opinion

Beside all this i would recommend you make it as a picture (already rotated) using photoshop or if your dont have access to such programs use free (GIMP)
