Ok, This is 80%. The last two were 60% and 46%. It's hard to see the Petoskey stone in the words now, but the words are very clear. I can adjust again if necessary. I want to get this right.

I agree with Tela. Just like putting up the Christmas tree, isn't it?

Oops, cross-posted. I like this latest version best so far.

Here it is without the Petoskey's lightened at all.

I think I like it better with the lightened stones. Makes the name stand out more.

I'd agree with Tela, the reason I voted for three yesterday was it seemed the picture at page top was a little foggy, the modification here makes things stand out better.

My eyes are drawn to the text not being vertically centered in the image. Is that too picky? Not meaning to be. ETA: I'm not a graphics person, so I don't know if there's a rule of thumb for something like this. It was a mild distraction for me. Heck, maybe it's just me.

As you may have noticed, I'm not a graphics person either. I thought it looked good off center. Do you know the rule of thirds thing from photography? I took a photography class years ago and the teacher told us that too many people take pictures like a deer hunter. They put the subject in the dead center of the photo like you center your target in a gun scope. Photos look better when the subject is about a third of the way in from the left or the right. That rule may not apply here, but I like the title of center vertically. You can't put it off center horizontally because that same picture has to work on many different size devices. Google provides a template that shows how much of the image will be visible on a TV, phone, or computer.

Just raising a question is all. I don't know if we're speaking apples to apples or not when speaking about the orientation of the text (horizontal v. vertical). I was referring to the text being closer to the bottom border of the graphic than the top. I totally like it being centered when comparing left and right borders. Again, maybe it's just me.

Hi Rob, I'm a little late to this one, but I agree with Tela. I like the first one, too, but I think I would like it better if the transparency on the picture was lowered. Still transparent, but not as much so you could see the picture a bit better and then the printing either not transparent at all -- maybe a dark grey so it stands out but also blends in.
Like this? Yes, better. I think I would still take out some more transparency in the lettering, but the graphic looks good. You can see that they're Petoskey Stones much easier.
