Hi Marcus Nice, looked those over - took some inspiration from that and worked up a graphic, thinking of course that this is going to a keep_in_touch type screen - Is that right, what the idea was now. Anyway - here is a png of the idea, I've again used the Oo.o 3 series branding element, the wire wave - altered that just a tad with a change form white to the current logo blue. http://lo-portal.us/aoo/temp/g6897.png What do you think? //drew
