"Careful! XaReg2 (2.1) is copyrighted."

TY, Gotcha.

"Mindseye, sorry for the hasty trace of your design!"

No worries, apologies for not getting the source file in sooner. Friday and all.

Attached - Two pages, one punched, and one not.

Very nice choice of font for the subordinate text, mindseye.

I could have sworn you used Frutiger!

My Best,

"I could have sworn you used Frutiger!"

Changed it up at the last.

Wasn't trying to throw you off..

The developers are ready to start "playing", could we ask you to create an icon and logo from this design, preferably with named colours. We are going to go with Riks page design that is red and black. My thought s for the Icon are a black X with a red tick.

I think we need to ask mindseye to rework the logo above, Grace.

I gave it a try, and it's not working for me, but perhaps someone can riff on the general concept.

Now, it's gotta work down to 32 x 32, and probably 16 x 16 for file folders, so simplicity is key.

I'll give it a go... been down with a hard drive crash.

Don't forget, anyone else that want to give it a run, the source file is here:

I think this will look ok with a green check

I played around with some harmonious colour schemes and came up with this. I created a set of named colours as well. I've attached a .xar file that also contains a sample interface using the same named colours (I'll post an image of the UI in the other thread)

Thanks Francis, I think we are really getting there.
