Ok wait, let me reiterate what i meant by using material i find on the web. :)

about 99% of the logos i create are from my own creation. the photos i sometimes grab are for the banners i make like the Alpha Rev one, in which case i took that wing picture from a random Google search i did for "white wings", as you can see on the left hand side of that banner. it was not copy written and if it was, i would have never bothered using it. i make it a point not to use other people's material but in this case it was just some random photo that will never generate a buzz for the purpose it's intended for. logos, however, need to be 100% authentic, and that it what i always aim for.

anyhow, thanks for looking and especially for the wonderful advice! i will keep you updated on how everything goes from this point on! take care.
