(2) You could now design your web page banner or logo using the Paint
program that comes with Windows, but you probably want it to look cool,
don't you? :-)
Well then, let's go to CoolText.com on the Web and make us a logo or
banner there. All free. Logos, buttons and bullets. Many choices of
fonts and designs. Your created logo is yours to keep. You do not
need to pay the site owner or give them credit for your creation.

Read the FAQ at this site. It is fascinating the way owner Bryan
Livingston has set up this site. Truly, one of the great free service
sites of the WWW.
