Cool. A little hard to read right now, but I found my name anyhow. ;-)
Yeah - white on black would be most appropriate, BUT:
1) proportions - it'd probably be best to arrange for the longer names
to be at the top and bottom, so as to get a more rectangular shape (so
it'd fit better)
2) are you sure the detail will come through? The inks used for
screening result in images more akin to line drawings, AFAIK - you've
got a *lot* of shading and stuff there...
3) it might make more sense to have the polarity of the names switch
over on the left side (ie rotate them 180o) so that they can actually
be read without asking the wearer to stand on their head... ;-)
