You are welcome but the badge still needs a lot of work (atleast IMHO) .

Some ideas to improve (perhaps) :-

a. The badge size is much too large horizontally. See if you can
shorten it or do it in two lines so the height becomes a bit more.

b. Make an .svg file so people can pan it out without breaking the
pixels (or artefacts) to see how it is.

c. The shadow could be a bit more pronounced (the image is too small
to really know whether there is a shadow or its my imagination)

Hope I was not too hard on your first attempt.



Something to inspire you

If you are being particular then the title is *Serious security flaw
found in IE*

second the link is there for people to follow up

third the line you use seems too long for a subject line in an email

[ubuntu-in] OT (but def happy OT ; -) - Internet Explorer security alert

2008-12-16 Thread ramnaraya...@gmail.com

Internet Explorer security alert
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/technology/7784908.stm

Users of the world's most common web browser have been advised to switch
to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed.

The flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could allow criminals to take
control of people's computers and steal their passwords, internet
experts say.

Microsoft is investigating the problem and preparing an emergency
software patch to resolve it, it says.

Internet Explorer is used by the vast majority of the world's computer
users.

"Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks
against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer," said the firm in a
security advisory alert about the flaw.

Microsoft says it has detected attacks against version seven of the
browser - its most widely used edition.

But the company warned that other versions were also potentially vulnerable.

As many as 10,000 websites have been compromised since last week to take
advantage of the security flow, said antivirus software maker Trend Micro.

The websites have been mostly serving up programs that steal computer
game passwords, but the flaw could be "adopted by more financially
motivated criminals", a Trend Micro security researcher said on Monday.
