Tarquin noted

please could you enforce a byte limit for the images
displayed on the 
list pages.
Some are STUPIDLY large, eg that one featuring some
sort of rodent 
which 
I removed.

with a modem it takes about 5 minutes for them all to
load.
people should upload a smaller version ( < 30 k ?) or
be disqualified

Anthere add...

besides, a logo is not only to print on a tee shirt,
but also to put as a logo on the web site. As such, it
has to be readable and pretty at big size as well as
at small size (around 150 pt). The rodent's very nice
but it might be important to see it at small size as
well.

Erik, I find 7 days to be a very short time (again,
not to insist too much, but school has not restarted
yet, many people are still on holidays, sorry Mav
:-)). Is there a special reason you chose such a short
time ?
