MCTS - Too Many Certifications

Too many certifications is never a bad thing.  I was playing around with Microsoft's logo builder after Pearson VUE finally got my microsoft profile updated, a month after I passed the tests and I noticed that if I tried to create a logo with all 4 of my WSS/MOSS certifications, I received an error telling me to remove one.  I worked hard for all four, so I would want them all displayed.

 Microsoft's site says that "Due to design and branding requirements, a logo may only display up to four or six lines."  If they moved Configuration up, that would allow for two more lines.  Also, why is MOSS 2007 Application Development on one line and WSS 3.0 Application Development is on two lines? 

 

On the usage guide page, it does not say that the certifcation list is limited to 4 to 6 lines, but to 4 to 6 certifcation areas:
The right side of the bar can accommodate 4-6 certification areas depending upon the credential.  I also have other problems with this since when I will go to upgrade my MCAD/MCSD, I will be getting more MCTS certs, which won't be able to be all listed together.  I still think these certifications should have been MSCS (Microsoft Sharepoint Certified Specialist) since MCSS is already taken by Microsoft Certified Security Specialist instead of MCTS.
