Pants line up now, but I think the leg was better before.

I enlarged and marked up 2 areas. I think what is throwing it off some is her left pant leg. It's black while the right leg is grey.

Also maybe too much white space between the feet near the heel? Looks like she is standing toes in heels out.

Sorry, but I can be too much of a perfectionist sometimes.

I forgot the term I want to use (been up since 4am). The white background needs to be made clear.

haha... transparent. No problem. What size do you want? It's better if I scale the original than scaling the one I give you. Do you want the full shadow or just shadow of the girl?

just the girl shadow will be good.

I just tried it on the website at 320x200. It's big but not too bad. It looks lonesome there right now.

Now I need to add color to the website and revamp that.

Try this on for size. You'll definitely want to rearrange the site a bit to incorporate the logo and not make it look stuck in there.

It wants to save as a .png file so I had to convert to .gif as that is what the website wants. I can change it but I can't seem to FTP in right now and doing stuff the slow way in cPanel.

I'll send this copy to the pros and see what they say. Nothing left to improve on. I wonder if they'll throw in the towel or try to sell a different style.

Yeah, I saved it as PNG. Gif's don't store near as much color information as a PNG. I can try gif, though.

Try this. Like I said. The big problem is color limitations. I think I got that down to a minimum though with a white matte. It'll look fine on all lighter colored backgrounds.

This is good for now. I gotta see what happens with the logo guys and i'll try the png version on the color laser tomorrow and see how it looks on some business card stock and gift certificates.

I'm a sponser in a car show on June 1st, so I want to be looking good by then!

Way past bedtime for me so thats it for tonight. I'll let you know how it looks on paper tomorrow.

Ok. If you want a larger version, let me know. I can also convert it to 300dpi if you need. BTW, the last one I posted is .gif.

I sent the pros your version to see what they could improve on. This is what they came up with...

+2-- The pros have been doing this too long.
They are just trying to stick with things they have seen before.
