That's perfectly acceptable. It can be whatever size, shape, color, font, etc. you want it to be. If you like it and you're satisfied with it, then keep it as is.

Typically it's just an added layer in photoshop. When I post pictures and it's got my logo across the middle, it's just a text box with a specific size, color and font in photoshop. In the case of that particular photo, this person created a graphic and just overlays it on the photo wherever he/she wants it. If you want or need more help feel free to pm me or something.

Thinkin I may have to place an order for one too.

There's another good place called Calumet. They have several locations throughout the country, including NYC. Otherwise there's always ebay/amazon too. Don't sleep on SONY either, they're up and coming and bought out Minolta. For those of you who used Minolta 35 mm, your lenses actually work on the SONY DSLR's. If you're looking to spend that much, definitely encourage you to look into the 5D MK II. It's going to take a long time to outgrow that and the video quality is nothing short of superb. There's several tv shows (I.e. 24) and commercials that are shot on a 5D Mark II. As stated previously, I have the 7D and you can see samples of the quality. I constantly shoot at iso's from 100-3200 being that I'm primarily a sports photographer and shoot in low light and harsh conditions. I love my camera, it's a newer image sensor and has a better autofocus system than any other Canon camera (minus the forthcoming 1DX which will blow everything out of the water.) Calumet Photo

You want something with a strong image sensor and high iso that will hold up in low light situations with minimal noise. I personally find that Canon has been in a league of their own over the last 3 years and Nikon is simply trying to play catchup. I have the Canon 7D. It ultimately depends on how much you're looking to spend. If you want something affordable and durable that fits the qualifications, I'd suggest either Canon 60D, T3i, Nikon D90, SONY A33 (new mirrorless technology). If you're looking to spend more and purchase a higher end camera*, I'd suggest a Canon 5D Mk II, 7D, 1D Mk IV, Nikon D90 (I know a lot of photographers that do AMAZING work on this camera and recommend it regardless of low/high end), I'd also strongly suggest you buy a 50 mm 1.4 or 1.8 on top of having a kit lens. The 1.4/1.8 will give you the cleaner more crisp images at a lower iso which means less noise. Also strongly recommend buying through B&H Photo Video or J&R or Adorama in NYC. I personally swear by B&H and won't go anywhere else. I bought my 70-200 mm f/2.8L lens from B&H but looked at it through J&R as well. Ultimately B&H were able to match or better J&R's price and knew more about the lens.
