Attached the feather without any of the ugly white pixels (I only added a white shadow). Just 'render' it from the eps-files of the press-kit (http://www.apache.org/foundation/press/kit/) and you'll have total control of the borders. > I attach my version here, which IMHO looks far better than > the current one, but doesn't seem to really solve the problem, > mostly because the feather's quill tends to vanish totally > when presented upon any dark background, and the feather loses > a lot of its effect as well. > This image simply isn't made for being used on a dark background. I don't think so. With a light, white shadow (see file) it is usable on any background. I have added the shadow to increase the contrast; since without it its really getting all to dark. -erik
