Some test graphics - I kind of like the font and drop shadow, but I
think it's a little strong. The blue is 3M reflective tape, the gold
is just drop shadow vinyl.

A little washed out because I was using the cell phone. What do you
think - the drop shadow a little too much?

Spacing is weird...almost like three words. Hey, taste is subjective.


I agree after looking at it some more - it's a font called Malibu
Script and I'm not sure I really like it now. I do like the drop
shadow though - that's really nice. The funny thing is it looked
really good on the tape after it was cut - it just didn't translate to
the boat.

Maybe another font? On this I trust your opinion believe it or not.
Any font suggestions?

How about a block font with a smaller Team, larger Shortwave and
smaller S. Woodstock set under the Shortwave and to the right?

Hey - just a test - no harm no foul. Better to spend the $20 bucks to
have it made to see how it looks when it's put together than $600 for
side graphics and then not like it. :)

Thanks for the reply.



I like the shadows, too, which is why I went with this typeface for "Son
of Yo Ho"

Simple colors show up very well against a white or offwhite hull, too.
