Let's see your Boat Name / Graphics

I'm trying to decide on a decent font / graphic for our new Ribeye S650.

If anyone has a picture of their Boat Name / Graphics, it might give me some ideas of what looks best.

Thanks!

I took my graphic from a favourite album:



Scanned it and had the vinyl made up. This shot is about 20 minutes before my accident - wish I could rewind!

Have a look on funky monkeys website, you can change the colour of the background and stuff to see what looks best on your colour.

Great pics people.

Love the Nasher one... Must have taken ages to do that by hand!

I like the simplicity of yours as well Neil. And good to see that you were practicing MOB techniques, just before you fell out

Finally decided on a font

Just trying to decide on whether to have a drop shadow or not.

This is a MOCK UP of what it should look like. WIll be interesting as to how close I can get the real thing

What do you think?
