Ok... I asked a moderator about putting the letters in the center of my designs and this was his reply, "i don't see a problem. the 1st place designer is not using a saw blade as his center." The saw blade is considered a concept - text can not be considered a concept.
However, only the designer ranked first is allowed to submit designs while a contest is in judging. So, if you want, you can move me in 1st, just so I can post the changes you requested. Thanks and I'll keep checking to see if I'm allowed to post the revision...we don't get any alert when we move positions, we have to keep checking in. Kib
