Even if the advice-seeker doesn't like some suggestions, they are really helpful because they clarify the parameters of the problem. So thanks everyone. If you work on your own as I do, this forum is the BEST place for immediate and helpful ideas and comments.
Thinking about it overnight:
1. I want to stick with "and"
2. I like Gary's conflicting fonts, but with a touch less conflict
3. I like Chris' Edwardian script; for a single word it is clearly legible
4. Mags: I need to work within the box - otherwise I will have to rework the website in a big way!
5. I like Gary's suggestion of large and small capitals
6. I may use the brass and brick fills in some applications but I like the simplicity of flat colour
The second set has a flat bevel size 2pix, contrast 86%. I like these!
And on the practicalities, they export as GIFs with the coloured backgrounds well (<9k filesize). I tried making them transparent to sit over a table cell with bgcolor but I run into the fuzzy edge problem.
Thanks once again for your inspiration.
Yes, we do have windows that chop your head off if the ropes break! Bricks and Brass sells nothing - it is an information site, but the money is *supposed* to come from paid entries in the Products and Services directory. Wry grin.
