Default HELP PLEASE - WEB POLL

Dear Group,

I've decided to put the name of my boat on the sides because the view
of the transom is half blocked by the outboard motor most of the time.

I've played around with Photoshop displaying all the different fonts
available and have come up with four that I think all look pretty good
but I do have my favorite. I have constructed a web page with a poll
where you can vote for your favorite. I'm curious if my favorite is
your favorite.

You can look at the four different fonts and choose your favorite he

Thank you for your help.

How about using the same font and color as the one used on the French's Mustard
logo?

Can you imagine that this poor fellow thinks that anyone wants to look at the
Guldon's font day after day?
Godzooks. Idiot.

None of them do much for me. You need something a bit bolder, more stylized. Maybe a
cartoon.

Hey, some people already say my boat looks like a joke.
Do I really need to make it look even funnier with a cartoon
style name? I think not.

Besides, one must be practical. The boat lettering place
uses a computer with fonts and some specific mustard
label is probably a one-of font.

Those are all stupid looking.

At least do something that doesn't look like it was copied from an office memo.

How about using the same font and color as the one used on the French's Mustard
logo? There are websites where you can get the logo fonts for almost anything.
Do you have absolutely NO sense of humor, style and asthetics? (retorical
question)

Neal, consider that the lettering will damage the finish on your boat, forcing
an uneven fade-effect that no amount of buffing will remove.
Also: They will slow you down when heeled.

Nope... that's not the way it works Cappy. They can produce any "font" as an
"image". They should even be able to "cut the vinyl' to the shape of a
mustard bottle. Their "fonts" are generally reserved for informational
signs.

Your selection of fonts and lay-out screams for attention from someone with
an artistic eye. I believe you are artistically challenged and colour blind.

Do some reasearch man!

Point of Interest -
STATEMENT FROM FRENCH'S MUSTARD

The makers of French's Mustard made the following recent statement:

"We, at the French's Company, wish to put an end to statements that our
product is manufactured in France. There is no relationship, nor has there
ever been a relationship between our mustard and the country of France.
Indeed, our mustard is manufactured in Rochester, NY.

The only thing we have in common is that we are both yellow."

Well... You paint the thing yellow and name it "Cut the Mustard". Why not
follow
through all the way?

Why not follow through all the way and buy a proper boat, then sail it
somewhere?

Bwahahahaha!

Did you know you can vote any number of times?

Seriously, I could help you with the graphics if you want a nice laser
cut graphic on the side...

Cheers MC
