Yep, I made the DML and the "www.dakota-truck.net" things. Unfortunately,
I can only save in bitmapped formats. I have Corel Draw/photo-paint, which
supports EPS, but I've never really gotten it to work. I suppose I could
try GIMP for Linux, that will probably support PS. I also have Adobe
Photoshop, but every time I try to use it I get confused and go back to
Corel. :-) What software are you using?
Speaking of the font, you mentioned you had a lot of them. Do you
have "Pumper"? That's what Gene used for the decal on his truck, and
its apparently the font that Dodge uses? I can re-render the
"www.dakota-truck.net" I've got in a bigger size, but it would
still be bitmapped. (Lemme know if you'd like me to send you it
in a larger size to try with the logo...) Anyway, it would be really great
if we could find "Pumper". I've searched all over the 'net, checked all my
CD's that have fonts on them, but no luck. I wonder if Gene's print shop
would be willing to copy it onto a disk? :-)

Once we get to the ordering stage, I can get 'em printed up no
problem. I don't anticipate any problem being able to ship them
out to people for $5 or less (which would include my shipping costs).
Especially so if we settle on just one design; that would allow us to
increase quantity and get a good price.
Anyway, I really like what you've done with the logo! The cleaned
up ram looks great! (The teeth were a nice touch!!) :-)
