Ofcourse MArquese Islands Circle must go a little to.

Whitsunday Islands
Western Australia
Papua new guinea

Sam for 3 digit-West Papua-Papua new Guinea
Last thing(you dont need to do if you dont want)its to add year 2009 to your names.
Have you tried using the same font as the territory names? This is a minor niggle, and of no real consequence. I'd like to see if it could be made to feel like it blends a little bit better... here are some ideas for inspiration: (I quite like the 1st one, without the dolphin)

MrBenn wrote:2. The 'fish' images.I really like the fish, shark, squid and kangaroo - although they just seem to 'pop out' of the map a bit too much. The angel fish jumps out the most, and is right in the middle. I think the images may fit the map better if they were a little bit more subtle... reducing the opacity of the images would help them to blend in a bit better.
MrBenn wrote:3. Your signaturesAt the moment, I think your names in the bottom corner are too bright - personally I think that subtlety again is key

It isn't an angel fish, is a zanclus cornutus.
it lives in the indo-pacific zone and it is a sea fish! (see the second link
I'm a little "expert" of fish, i have 6 fish tanks at home.
It was also used in the "Finding Nemo" movie.
The common english name is Moorish Idol.

Thanks for the info. Six fish tanks? Where do you live...in a palace?
Hmm...cornutus...sounds strange, especially in your native Italian! :p E' un pesce cornuto?

Title 1 feels a little 'pacific islands' where as title 2 feels like Oceania.. but , i like the original most

Maybe try to bring the opacity on the over lay you have down a little, and add a slitgt outter glow if you trying to make it stick out a bit more.
I much prefer the narrower font over the wider one, it fits more with the theme of lots of small islands, rather than a few big one.. if you get my drift.

Instead to decide what is best look tittle,and to put on map,you decide to spend ,how many days on these very minor thing? Honestly,i think that regular people are satisfy with old tittle,and i realy dont understand how you can spend days on some things who realy dont have big attention.

,but actually we have no other requests and for pikkio and me the map is almost finished. But i decided to develope this map trying to sodisfy the community at large and i rejected only with a valid motivation. So, now i have no motivation about not change (refine) the title at least a foundry decision.
