You sure get around well for being so old and decrepit based on the places you go to get your photos...the sentences you type show me your brain is not oxegen deprived...so, any more excuses? <raising eyebrows>

[Sage]

hmmmm, can I get back to you on that?

Yes.... I had created a frog coloring book via Equill re-creating black and white sketches from the originals I had sent.

Just a thought.

Exactly!!!
I went on into some real time consuming erasing starting with eliminating any lines touching the frog.
Simplifying and softening things a bit further. And yet a step further...... adding any missing lines and details
This shows the progression of just one of its images.

I don't think the colors of logos can ever be changed and they can't be "stretched" or "embellished" in any way. From what I've picked up.... logos have to be used "as is" but.... better check that out with someone who knows more about logos than me....

I liked Dapjwys idea VERY much. I don't want to burst your bubble but...a long long time ago and I do not even remember what it was for anymore..... I had submitted a wildlife gardeners logo embraced in a trees limbs ...I was sent a message that stated the logo can not be toyed with.
