    Any suggestions on how to improve this for a client? It will be for print....have already done a Flash version for the web site. Fonts used: Balmoral D, Arial and Swifty ( for the man).

    The client likes the Balmoral ( used in the word ELITE) ...but I am not tied to the Arial if someone has a better suggestion.

    OHHH... and since I've never done one for print....what size does it need to be? Are there any specifics?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Here is a xar files with silohuettes of a running man.
    The original file is not mine, I found it(I think) on a cd with free clipart; so I believe it can be used as a reference.

    Joelle,

    My first impression was that the elements were fine but there is no cohesion...just 3 elements put together.

    Maybe try something like the attached.

    make it an oustanding presentation, yes. Oh no, not the logo, at least not in the traditional sense. Sorry, couldn't resist, the definition 'code runner' just inspired me when you mentioned 'print'. In print I'd use full color and use an eyecatcher.

    Hm, maybe I should have posted this in the gallery? Let me know.

    Just my 60 minutes finger training this morning ;-}

    The infinite code is a great touch too!

    Thanks Luciano, for the xar file of the running man!

    And Mickey, you're right...there's no cohesion...that's why I asked for suggestions. Your's is a good one!

    and lastly, Jens...all I can say is WOW! That is beautiful! Is the man done in a 3D program?

    I guess I should have mentioned in my origial post that this is for business cards, letterhead etc.

    yes, I've modeled the guy in a 3D app. The rest is done in X.

    And here we go with the biz card - enough CI in both solutions? ;-}
