really?  When I set the design I did a quick and dirty poll of about 
25 people and I couldn't get a uniform answer on what was easier 
to read: black on white, white on black or light gray on black.  
Everyone had a different opinion on the matter.

I know, I know. But I ran into a problem here.  Normally when I 
work in Photoshop I save my jpegs at lower quality than these, but 
with these logos, if I went any lower on the quality, the green text 
ended up looking all jagged.  Is there something I can do to work 
around this?  I'd really like to get the file sizes smaller myself!

you should have seen the version it started with - 150K!  But 
testing showed that when I broke it into to pages, no one bothered 
to read the second one.

thanks for the input!
