    Something simple.  It should fit into the background image on the Twenty-Eleven theme if that is what you're using.

    I drew the cannons in Inkscape and it wasn't easy. 🙁

    Donnie,I like it but I would put Battles and Book Reviews in Large font and the web address in small.  Other than that I think it looks great.

    So Scout are you going to use this logo or should I be working on something else?

    Yeah, I tried it today but for some reason the .png does not render when I put it into the header.

    Just rename it to whatever image was there to begin with (in the same folder of course).  For example if your old image is a logo.gif, just rename it to logo.gif and overwrite the old image.  Your theme might have an option to upload a new logo, but it might force you to crop it.  I would just manually replace the old file.

    I played with it in Paint and got it to work.  It is up on the site now.  Thanks for your help, I suck at graphics.  But I am a pretty good shot and that is what counted in my chosen career.

    You lost a little pixel quality but not too bad.

    The thing with that logo on Patrick's blog is that it looks like it was vertically stretched a bit, including the font.  The wheels on the cannons look like eggs rather than circles.  Was this on purpose?

    You know now that you mention it, I guess I did make the wheels too eliptical.  The wheels were kinda hard to make.  Inkscape is great but it does have some quirks.  I might try creating one in Illustrator since I have CS4 now.

    The wheels are kind of stretched.  The original file was 1000×244 and the latest version of the 2011 theme has a header size of 1000×288.

    I knew I was a little off in the height but I didn't think that would matter.  Guess I was wrong oops.
