Lightbulb Owner info on locked screen

As a long-time Palm OS user I was missing "Owner info" feature on Palm Pre. Inspired mainly by brilliant TealLock (the app which allows you to completly customize lock screen) I get to very simple idea of putting owner data right onto the wallpaper. This way your owner info can be seen even if your phone is locked.
This can come handy if you loose your Pre and some nice person will find it so you have a chance he/she contacts you to return it.
I've found severals mobile phones in my life and always returned them to happy owners and I'm somehow expecting this from the others (call me naive ). Normaly I'm no gadget looser and I do believe I will not make use owner info feature. But better to be prepared, just in case.

If you decide to create your own I suggest putting the text at least 33 px from top ensuring the text is not too close to the lock screen border.

Original wallpaper comes from iDesignpre.com.

@moderators: I put this post to Tips intentionally rather then into Wallpaper section. I believe it doesn't break topic rules too much.
