Oi, sorry I forgot these were still off-black.  They are black now.  The EPS
format would be better to use, since it's in vector and will scale down
perfectly.  The PNG might look bunk.

These are black now, but not "boxed".  (For some fucked up stupid reason it is
difficult (impossible?) to draw lines in GIMP, perhaps the one achilles heel
of GIMP.  If someone adds a border to helmet_boxed_high_res.png, I can convert
to EPS.)

Perhaps a bumber sticker should say http://ballistichelmet.org/, or is that
too obvious.  Maybe just "ballistic helmet", like t-shirts.  (Shit, I still
need to make a bunch of those.)
