I really like it, at first then started thinking of it on the Parker. Although very well done, and it would silk screen well I found the skull design, a little typical. I might consider using other than the typical human skull, and look for one, or something else that more pinpoints you, your lifestyle, other hobbies, or even a characture of your self to more "personalize" it. For instance, if you were a Vikings fan, use a Viking skull, or you like to fish, a fish skull, if you are Irish, a Leprechaun. At first I thought it should be more complex, but the more I look at it, the more I like it, three color, sharp and clean. Of course if you are only going to use it twice and resell it you might want to stick with what you got as it is still very nice ![]() Don't take me wrong, I really like your design, just posting my thoughts. Anyway, if you are interested, I could probably put it on a silk screen for you to use on shirts, flags, or whatever. Been thinking about breaking out a new bottle of opaque come fall. It would make a great t-shirt... I might make two sets of screens ![]() Skull and crossbones was not a common private signal used by pirates. Certainly not even beginning to approach the almost universal use suggested by Hollywood. Harry's cartoon rendition looks pretty phony- but that's part of the charm. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is about as indicative of actual pirate life as the "B" westerns were for cowherds in the American midwest. Not every vacero carried a brace of matched six-shooters, and most couldn't draw with any great speed or even shoot particularly straight. Look at the number of rounds fired at well documented gunfights like the OK Corral vs the number of people actually hit, and that was at close range! To an identical extent, darn few pirates fit the image of Captain Jack Sparrow or his crew. The "Yo-Ho" logo chosen by Harry at least addresses the reality that it's all bogus and silly. And why not, if that's your thing? That said, I personally try to steer well clear of anybody "playing pirate" and flying skull and crossbones. (You have to wonder what else they aren't taking very seriously). I admit to feeling the same way about boats flying inflatable martini glasses from the signal mast or flybridge- so I'm not exclusively anti-pirate. |
