Just to let you all know I have created a new Euroharmony VATSIM indicator which can be found at http://www.vatsimindicators.net a demo of what it looks like is below my name. I will be creating a better one later on as this one was very basic. All feedback is welcome

Nice one :)
I would suggest some editing to make some slightly more esthetic result.
The long horizon line makes it look a bit empty.
Of course that's my personal opinion.
Keep it up !

G'day All

Just to let you know I have created another VATSIM indicator for our great VA. I hope this one is a little better than the last one. Any suggestions on how to improve will be great. In future I hope to create a seperate one for each pilot ranking with the main aircraft from that catergory on the indicator.

Cheers Guys and Gals

Hi, this is much better, congrats :)
I will say what i think, the typography side of it (the fonts used)... Stretched fonts (last line) don't look that nice, the rule is use specific fonts, but avoid modifying them (like stretching them in that case). Use an "extended font" instead.
The status (offline, etc...) is already outlined by red, no need to make it bigger than the pilot ID.
Avoid using too many different font styles, the most simple is the best :)
The last thing, the delta logo is too big in the web url, if it was the same height than other letters, i think it would be fine, instead of separating both part of the url.

I'm done, of course it's as usual my personal opinion. It's not the ultimate reference.

Keep up the good work !
