Take a look, I think I'm right. Also, if you redo it, try some other characters for the fills. See what kinds of contrasts you can get. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ _------ _----- _------ _------- _------ _----- ------- __------ _--- _--- _--- ------- ------ -------- -------- ------ ------ -------- -------- --- _--- _--- --- ____--- ___--- _--- --- _--- --- ___--- ___--- _--- --- _--- --- _--- _--- ------ _--- ___-------- ------- _----- _--- ___------- _--- _--- --- _--- _--- _------ --- ___-------- ------ __----- _--- ___------ __--- _--- --- _--- _--- ____--- --- ___--- _--- --- --- _--- ___--- ___--- --- _--- _--- --- _--- _--- ------- ------ --- _--- --- _--- ------ ------ --- _--- -------- ------------- ------ __----- --- _--- --- _--- ------ _----- --- _--- _------ __----------- ______________________________________________________________________________

Take a look, I think I'm right. Look closely and you'll see that they are slightly canted to the left. Notice that on the right side of the Patrick stripes there are two colons, and on the left side only one. Still, you're right, it should be more obvious. Also the proportions don't seem quite right to me. I'll fiddle with it a bit more. And I'll try different fills too! -EMC
