Boat Name

[GRAFIKWORX]

I was wondering what you think of these two name designs,
which do you like better and why. the name has already been painted last week but im wondering did my customer picked the best one .. I know the best one is Really what the (customer liked). so not that it really matters now. I'm just curious what you all thaught of the designs mostly.

I figured I will tell you which one he picked after some input ,

2nd one is better IMO.

i just see the first font used too much, and it doesn't flow as well.

2nd yes

I like the top one, I think the bottom one is too simple.

2nd - not a fan of monotype corsiva

What happened to all that good design work you use to do back in the 90's, either one of these are the same with just as "S" being tweaked. Not trying to be meansprited, just more curious is all. Is that a mahogany or teak transom and did you gold leaf it.

 

[GRAFIKWORX]

the transom is a shiny copper penny color. no gold leaf, Customer actually had the old gold leaf name removed. this is painted in base coat clear coat the letters were embossed with airbrush and drop shadowed.
the whole transom was cleared over the name.

The way you described it now with the paint color and clear coat, it must look really nice.

I prefer the top format but with a better font choice
