Hi everyone

Its always difficult when someone has worked really hard on something and
then appear negative. But I do agree with Paul on this.

The graphics themselves are nice though.

One small point, most logos are available as svg or eps vector files which
mean they will not lose their crispness whatever size they are blown up to.
Some of the logos look like they may be less than 300dpi which is what you
need as a minimum for 'proper' printing (though you can get away with less
depending on the print media used etc)
