I also passed my CFI checkride in May and got the new certs in the
mail on Tuesday. They are a much-needed improvement over the old
paper ones, but the contrast (at least on mine) is really bad. They
used a small, black font against an image that has some rather dark
areas. The result: portions of the card are really difficult to
decipher in some light conditions. Still...it's a step in the right
direction.

Too bad the new CFI cert was superceded before I even got it...with a
temporary for my CFII which still refers to my old pilot cert/number.

Actually I didn't request them, I took my CFI checkride in May and have been
waiting for the permanent certs to come. I was surprised when they came
that they were the new style.
