...and have my own web site and what not.

It will be going by the name R.A.T Military, and I will be selling Militaria and 1930's-40's items, both military and household/oddities items.

I have designed some logos for the site, and was wondering if you guys could help me deside which one looked best?

Kindest Regards

Bottom ones visually better, stick the top one on a khaki or OD background and you'll eliminate the loss of the rat silouhette by having white on white.

Hope you've got some secret store of suppliers mate cos there's a lot of competition in the WWII repro and antique market - especially with stupidly cheap HK repros on ebay.

It's also a lot cheaper to get letterheads, flyers etc printed up in b&w than to have to go to the expense of 4-colour printing ......

Try putting a slight stroke around the edge of the rat, maybe a pixel or 2 worth Should be easy enough if you have photoshop. it will help pick out the edges. and try a background thats not white.

You need a full stop after the T of R.A.T.
EDIT - or have no full stops at all, it just needs to be consistent - end of edit.

I don't think you need a full stop after Military, it being a name/title, but not sure.
