I'll try it some time soon with heavier lines.  Trouble is when you make it so small to fit on the dial you really lose the eyes and teeth with heavier lines.  Maybe I'll try to make a negative of the image and see what happens.

Maybe the best solution is filling the logo with lume, I like that idea.  You would still see the detail in silver, and lume would provide some nice weight to the area.

I haven't really seen images were the upper jaw protrudes over the lower.  They seem to be either even, or the oppisite.  That's why I thought the logo has the lower actually protuding a bit more.  Post a pic if you can so I can see what to change.

Oh, and I agree, having a place to give and share input like this is alot of fun.  Might even turn into a nicely crafted watch that has more personal value to the members here than other watches would.
