Yeah it's not easy to work with small images, esp one with intricate designs since you are bound to lose a lot of details. A lot of images that look great don't survive the shrinking process unfortunately. For example take a look at Chowlett's initial crest.
GIFs are worse since you are limited to 256 colours. JPEG images are generally better since you get to use the full spectrum of colours for details. However the worst are transparent GIFs, which are a pain in the posterior to work with, unless you have something simple like the smilies. Nothing beats a clearly defined black border Most of the time I'd end up with the pencil tool crawling around the edges to clear out those pesky pixels that have colours just slightly different from the background, forming an ugly "halo" type thing around the image.

Wrong person It's Hueij who extracted the Oxford crest.

Could you either make me a dragon, or get this one to work without the text being blurred?

Could you make an image of Dr Strangelove in his wheelchair fighting with his arm? How about one of the cowboy-bomber pilot riding his nuke down to the ground?
Could you then flank the image on one side with the Pink Panther, and on the other Chancey Gardner? This would make a lovely tribute to Peter Sellers. OTOH it would be too crowded to use as an avatar, so how about just ol' Doc Strangelove fighting with his dyskinetic arm?

Siro, would a chocolate in one or another inventive form or appearance be of any problem to you?
