Well, I took Harry's advice and changed the font - I hate to admit it,
but he was right - in fact, all of you were right - weird font that
seemed like a good idea at the time.


So I spent the morning with Captain Joel Perry of Graphics Unlimited
in Pomfret Center, a noted graphic artist, all around good guy and a
Master Mariner who has restored some beautiful boats including a '50s
era Lyman, a genuine RI Oyster boat, a Penn Yann and an absoutely
gorgeous original 23' Grady White he rebuilt.

We went through a ton of iterations, different designs, changed fonts
until we were blue in the face - Joel put up with my picky behavior
and we finally settled on this one which is the semi-demi-hemi-sort
of-maybe-kind of final design with a few tweaks and modifications -
primarily color will stay the same, but the lightning bolt may be
changed to a sine curve - I'm worn out on it, but I like this - just a
couple of things I want to think about over the next couple of weeks..

Not a bad start - two days and about eight hours of work.


Two lightning bolts, top and bottom of name. And, bigger name, one
line all the way across.


There's only so much room there - you couldn't keep the same font size
and have it fit.


Ditch the lightning bolt. it make it look too cramped. Tom.


I'm not asking any of you anything again.

Damn - bunch of morons. *:)


OK, but one last stab before you blow me too Saturn.

Why don't you trash the whole thing and go for some cool bomber nose
art?
