Size, Colors, Trademaking, inclusion of any part of a feather ro the like? Can I reasonably hand that to someone who does not have a clue about the program? And considering I will probably have to pay for it (the guy would be a subcontractor of our company) I would really like to go into the ordering process with a bunch of ideas before asking him anything peculiar. Here's my idea: a frontal picture of a detective with a magnification glass in his hand, turned toward the spectator. His eye magnified through the fglass. The picutre detailed enough to allow for the detection of an english classic trenchcoat, maybe a monocle dangling on a chain from his pocket. The face unlike the depiction of any famous TV or Movie character, but maybe not much of it is visible anyway. I imagine the guy to have long white hair falling below the height of his shoulders. All in all a decent appereance. No beard, or maybe a small one (like they had in England a hundred years ago). The word "Apache" above the picture, an "ALOIS" below. Maybe a frame and maybe the words inside the frame. All of it in a two- or three-color style, with the main color something between dark yellow and brown, maybe one darker and one lighter tone. This would be the main color theme for ALOIS, then. By the way: Do we need a CSS theme or the like? Where would that be applied? And where does the feather go? Cheers -- Marcus
