I needed to make a few small changes to remove the background, but it should be fine now. See on site: http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za/wiki/Main_Page

Re: WLM-ZA Logo Hi Lourie
I created it in photoshop and not in ai or another vector creator, so it doesn’t easily convert to svg. I have it attached as a large jpeg format and a smaller .png format. Please use whichever you wish. Just let me know if you need any other versions that are not svg!
Thanks! Isla

Oh okay, happy to hear that. I agree, the font will look good and puts some emphasis on "South Africa". No need to try out the block font then! I also looked around online and we are allowed to use our own versions of the logo. I was initially afraid that we might only be allowed to use the original. Can you please send me the SVG version? I will then implement it on our website. Thanks for the trouble.
Kind regards Lourie
PS: I have attached a smaller version so that the rest of the people on the list can see how it looks. :)

The font I used for South Africa is the free font, Linux Libertine - which is the Wikipedia font. I also think that if I used the same font as the ones above it would look very blocky and that South Africa would get lost. But I will give it a try.

They look quite nice Isla! The font you used; is it a free font? Also, isn't it maybe possible to use the same font as used for the other text?
