Jason, can you send me a picture of your logo at my email address to make sure ours are the same? I also want the SABRE done as well. I am sending you my logo to your email address....patti Jason Parks <jjparks@shaw.ca> wrote: Thanks everybody for replying -- I'll get back to the list with costing and expected availability date. I'm also going to have the "SABRE" cast. Hopefully I'm not treading on anybody's toes and not crossing the line by posting this kind of information on the list. I don't want to make any money out of this -- but just thought that since i'm going through the pain of getting new logos made - other Sabre owners could benefit from this. If I've gone over to the dark side - please do not hesitate to steer me back!
