http://www.domain.pro/images/badges/badgeXL.png
http://www.domain.pro/images/badges/badgeMD.png
http://www.domain.pro/images/badges/badgeSM.png

The code is pretty bog standard:

   my $size = lc($IN->param('size')) || "m";


    print qq|Content-type: image/png \n\n|;
#   print "FOO";

    use GD;

    my $filename;
   
    if ($size eq "l") {
        $filename = qq|/home/domain/domain.pro/www/images/badges/badge
+XL500.png|;
    } elsif ($size eq "m") {
        $filename = qq|/home/domain/domain.pro/www/images/badges/badge
+MD500.png|;
    } elsif ($size eq "s") {
        $filename = qq|/home/domain/domain.pro/www/images/badges/badge
+SM500.png|;
    }

    # create a new image
#    my $im = new GD::Image(100,100);
    my $im = GD::Image->new( $filename );

    # allocate some colors
    my $black = $im->colorAllocate(0,0,0);       

    if ($size eq "l") {
        $im->string(gdMediumBoldFont,27,44,"Secure " . GT::Date::date_
+get() ,$black);
    } elsif ($size eq "m") {
        $im->string(gdMediumBoldFont,29,26,"Secure " . GT::Date::date_
+get(),$black);
    } elsif ($size eq "s") {
        $im->string(gdTinyFont,15,26,"Safe " . GT::Date::date_get() ,$
+black);
    }

    # make sure we are writing to a binary stream
    binmode STDOUT;

    # Convert the image to PNG and print it on standard output
    print $im->png;

..however, its confusing the hell out of me with whats going on with the text color. Could it have something to do with the pallet of the image?

TIA!
