Looking for comments on boat name graphics

[Milemarker81]

Here is a mock up of what I'm thinking but I think that maybe I'm trying to be too cute.

Can you read the name? Can you tell what it's supposed to be?

Thanks,

Rob

Sorry... no idea on what it's supposed to say.

 

[Milemarker81]

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. It's supposed to be a double pun. Squirtt

Squirt as in a small child ("Look at that little squirt go!") since it's a small boat and as in squirt gun since it's a jet boat. The two t's are supposed to represent the twin jet pumps with their tails being the actual pumps.

It's kinda hard because of that rear rope hook right in the middle and I'm trying a bit too hard. Would be better if I had a two short words name like Sea Doo.

Back to drawing board I guess.

Thanks,

Rob

The T's look too much likes J's I didn't see it at first I do after you said it tho... Deff maybe keep working or plan on explaining it when you go out

I was thinking squirt as its a jet or squirt as its small but didnt get the two "ts" as being a twin or the tails of the T's being the jet. I think its kinda cute

 

[Milemarker81]

Agreed. Trying to add the two tails on the t's as jets makes it confusing. Here's a simpler version:

And finally, the one T version. This has better symmetry since it's the same width on both sides of the rope hook. If I'm not doing the jet pump tails, I don't really need the two t's anymore but the two t's did add that it's a twin.

What about this for the two t's?

If you wrapped the letter U, in a slightly bigger font, around the towing stanchion that might set things off.

That's what I was thinking too. Why not just do lil' Squirt, and then draw a jet pump of some kind??? (and 2 "T's" makes it confusing too)

Ooohhh, I like that. I'll try mocking that up.

Here is another thought for a single "T"

I tried that but the stanchion makes it look weird. The other issue is that it makes it a bit off balance with most of the name appearing to the right.

So the full name to the left and a graphic on the right? I kinda wanted to keep it stock looking with the big letters.

This is awesome! I think that you've hit upon the winner. I like how you curved the pumps a bit. This allows me to keep the 3 letter split on each side of the stanchion and adds a bit of "Oh, I get it now" to the name. Thanks!

 

[cncsignman]

Thanks!! Glad to help. Post up when you get it mocked up.

I personally like this one the most but as said below deff post pics when you get it all done!

What about this? It's the OEM Sea Doo font. (I'm not keen on the T)



You can get the font called Sea Dog from here: http://www.dafont.com/sea-dog2001.font

It's free for personal use.

EDIT: Ok, so there's no I in that image. My bad. You get the idea. Who? What? I've got to go do a thing. Yes, err a thing.

 

[cncsignman]

Yes the Ts are terrible and look like "L's". I would even shorten the top and bottom legs on the "I" or omit them. Normally an I does not have tails.
