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?

I like all except the 'Sportfisherman'. It's too dark. Shadow it like
'Team Shortwave', but make the red a lot brighter. Right now it looks
like it got caught in a big spider web.

What about the TSO vid? Is that a closed subject?

Um - the red graphics are on the console and came with the boat - I
was talking about the blue and gold.

Oh - I'm sorry - really, I forgot all about it.

As soon as I get back, I'll send it off to you. I don't even know
where it is at the moment - my office is in disarray because of the
remodeling project.

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

Well, the red graphics, IMO, detract from the overall effect. It looks
like it should all go together. Maybe a little separation and some
bigger lettering would help. The blue with the shadow looks good up
close, but from a distance the shadow shows very little. Have you
considered a red shadow to match the lettering above?

Also, I'd consider putting 'Team Shortwave' on one line, about where
the word 'Shortwave' is now. It would stand out better.

Hell, I'd take the '200C Sportfisherman' off the damn boat. You could
always spend ten dollars for some more lettering when and if you sell
the boat. Then you could go crazy with the 'Team Sportfishing'!

"Sportfisherman"

looks like a fresh (and poor) tattoo.

can you "non-scrunch" it a bit, Tom?

I didn't like it either. But apparently that's the name of the boat
and the graphics were there from the git-go.

I think he should take a hair dryer to it, and the 200C above it.

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.
