Thanks Mike. This is just a concept for them. However If it gains popularity among our family maybe my cousins will make a smart decision. ;)

This is great! I love the colors. Only one comment - for visibility's sake I might darken the secondary text on the inside of the seal. It's a little tough to read - and I would say especially from a distance.

admarcbart said:

thanks for the comments.

The secondary text is meant to be just that, secondary. It is to be visual only at close ranges or as accents. Otherwise the end viewer would have a lot of copy to take in at once and the visual would be compromised. :)
