I still have the PSD if anyone with mad photoshop skillz wants to hack at it. The font I used for the basic/exp/inst is called Snickers. Its the closest thing I could find without trying too hard.

It's a good match. I wonder if legibility could be improved with anti-aliasing tweaks.

Not a bad idea at all. Anti-aliasing and removing the bottom chunk of the MSF triangle would help greatly. Alas, I'm too lazy.

Use the transparency tool to lighten the lower part of the triangle.

Nah. It'd look pink. I'd leave it as it is but work on the text. Get me the .psd if you don't have time.

It looks crowded with all that text going on. You should probably put a small 1 - 2 pix sharp white inner glow.

Thanks, but I don't have snickers. I'd need the whole shebang.

Let's just go with what you've got. It's fine. TG, effects like that don't usually work well in such a small image. Heck, the letters are only 1-2 pixels wide to begin with!

I'll work on it as time permits. Tech is right - its definitely crowded. I'm not a hardcore photoshopper so I just kludge stuff together. We'll see what I can come up with.

I read the manual back to front, but I still wanted a new avatar just to be different.
