Brennan: A simple design, yet many elements are incorporated into it.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, far too many elements.I recognize this type of design well, from my time doing such things for the military. I called it, "graphic design by committee" where several people demanded to include an element and they had to be dumped into the same space and the designer couldn't find a way to smoothly blend them in.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Tallpaul</TD><TD>My dad had a favorite expression about committees.
