[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3293940, member: 19165"]I like that you're trying new things, experimenting a bit. But, in my opinion, you've got *way* too much border and not enough coin. A good template is going to maximize the coin. Robec's template above is superb - simple, elegant, shows all the important information, and highlights the coin above everything else. There isn't a whole lot of wasted space around the coin. As for color, some people prefer dark backgrounds, some people prefer light backgrounds. I go back and forth myself. If you have a silver or gold colored coin, a dark background can look good. But, if you have copper (such as your Lincoln cent, or Bob's gorgeous 20D above), a dark background is going to swallow the coin up. If Bob were to put that dark coin on a dark background, it wouldn't look good because there's no contrast with the background. So, a couple of things to think about as you continue to tweak your design.[/QUOTE]
