This is for the photo editing pros out there. Could someone turn this into a good Avatar that would work on SD.net?

What, you mean like resizing it?

Do you want the text to remain readable?

Simple resizing :

Cropped and with a black background for the text :

It'd help if you could tell what font was used.

Comic sans, at a guess.

Well I resized it, but then I had stuff to do that was pressing, and when I came back a few other people had already done it and uploaded it for your perusal.

You gonna get rid of the Federation symbol?

Was thinking about it. I also think that would make a wonderful Avatar to put on SD.net as an offical one.

Bounty's second example is the better of his two, because the text is easier to read at that small size.

I'll see if I can brighten it up without it becoming garish.

Mk III, still not exactly what I was aiming for, but with most of the original font preserved :

Excellent.

The problem is that text is a tad small. Its more readable, but still a tad small. That one with the text rewritten worked rather nice. Still, both are very good choices.

That's about as good as I can make it, I'm afraid.
