Hi Mallog

Is that a single tree like a 'lonesome pine' which has other connotations or should it be a 'spreading chestnut tree' probably with the occasional pruned branch ?

I think the Talking Scot Logo would be a good idea. I'ts unique enough to prevent embarrasing mis-identification. If it's too wide, perhaps the hands in the middle of the cross would make a smaller (footprint??)

How about a ](*,) badge, after all that's why we end up there.

Cheers

I do like that idea. It made me smile. I love to imagine all these brick wall badges haunting the corridors of NRH and the Mitchell not to mention Paisley Library. :D :D :D

Best wishes

I am so chuffed with myself. I have just printed off my "badge" on a business card and I can't wait to go somewhere now !!

With apologies to the original artist :oops: , here is my idea for a TS badge...

P.S. My son is teaching me how to use the more advanced stuff in Photoshop and this was my first solo attempt at remodelling an existing image.

Many people believe that Shetland is somewhere to the East of Aberdeen, or to the West of Stornoway !! (Just think of all the maps with Shetland, and sometimes Orkney as well, in a box :!: )
