    No, the text should be higher on the screen,closer to the middle. But the size is just perfect.
    Wait till my friends see this,they`re gonna faint :D

    Hm, can`t decide which one I want.
    But yours looks flashier Z. I want that one :D
    Just had an idea. Can you do something like this but more aesthetic?

    Aaaargh, I really can`t decide.
    The one with the ballon lucks dumb.
    Just stick to the one you made Z, but please change the " I " , it looks silly with the 2 lines ...stick to a regular one if the font hasn`t got a better "I" ( from IMA..and charg Ing)
