Honestly, I'm not sure which is better. That's up to everyone else to decide.
I didn't want to change the color of the emblem, for two reasons:
a) I tinkered a little bit, and didn't think it looked very good
b) since it's the emblem on the flag of Massachusetts, I wanted to leave it "as is."
But most of the time, I'm pretty open to suggestions, since, in the end, it's not even for myself. Whatever makes the requestor happy...
So with that said, TINH, let me know if you want anything changed.
