With Lar's unsolicited advice in mind, I went back and edited my two logo
ideas. First of all, I cleaned up the first two, but still being gif's with
transparent backgrounds, they aren't prefect for 'every' color background. If
you want to review these, you may have to reload or delete the cache from your
browser.

I then, in the spirit of possible future T-Shirt designs (granted they have
lots of color and detail unlike Lar's advice, but at least they work with black
and white backgrounds, and the fact I'm being really egotisical to even think
these would be the final choices...)

And then, because these are all gifs with transparent backgrounds, I decided to
show all four off as jpgs with white, and the last two with white and black
backgrounds. As jpgs, they retain more of their detail and smoothness.

If I weren't deep-linking these, the white background would show off more in
the brickshelf account. So if you want to view them with their white
backgrounds with contrast, here is the folder (after moderation):

Whew... ok, I'm done for a while.
