Well it only took me 3 months to get this done. Is it the best one I have done...not even close. But I did not have a ton of space to work with. Also, I like things simple, hence only using the black color.

I did experiment with a little dog in the graphic. But I could not find a dog that I liked and that my vinyl plotter would be able to cut out. I went through about 25 different dog images, until I finally trashed the idea.

The "drops" were a PITA. They are only about 1" tall, so I had to hand place each drop.

I am glad it is done...and kept the original look and feel that I wanted to.

Looks and fits great.

I'm glad you dropped the little dog graphic as it would have been too much.

Nice job.

i like it thumb
the drops are light enough to create an effect without visibly overpowering the words

Looks great!

I could be wrong, but I think I recall you saying the g's represent you boats, as in 3 g's for 3rd boat now. Do they also represent the size?

HF...you are 100% correct. First boat was a 21', second was a 27' and this is 24'.

Thanks for the compliments. Like I said...it is not my best work but it is growing on me. My cruiser just had the best layout to do a cool name. Going to take it for a test drive tomorrow thumb

Nice looking, though I question your comment that you like things simple. Is that a change in your lifestyle? laugh laugh

Very nice. I really like the way you designed the water drops w/ the outline and shaded area. All solid wouldn't have contrasted as well w/ the body of the name. thumb
