I really like the hat better in black! I did speak to a moderator and she said that no one designer can claim a font as their own unless it is hand drawn. So if that's the font I want, she said it is fair game ;) I'm glad you showed me all of those different placements, but again the placement I like the best is
#77 and #88. Also, I'm finding that I really like a "realistic" colored base. What are your thoughts?
