To be honest, I'd also be tempted to lose the shadow effects you've
added. How does it look without them? Also, I'm still thinking of
using a light grey ("ash") background; quite a few people have said
they'd like that. So then we'd need red, white and black prints;
that's fine.

That doesn't bother me too much; this is meant to be an Etch special. :-)

Might get a little too busy, tbh. And I need to get the artwork to TT
today (Tuesday) if at all possible. Even then, we'll be pushing it to
have them ready for FOSDEM.

As always, many thanks for your efforts so far. Curse this useless
non-artistic brain of mine... :-)
