Andy, I think most of the comments were really more about your friend who's running a business, getting his professional logo done as a freebie. Nobody objects to you asking for inspiration and I would encourage you not to take offence at the comments. I hope you will ask for inspiration again here.

The sonsofgalloway site looks like a worthy cause and well worth helping as a freebie. It's looking good, though parts don't work for me..

Hope to see you here again - fully inspired, or not!

Paul
