Opinions on boat name placement/font?

[MOA_Chaser]

I was playing around with boatletteringtoyou.com and image editing software, and came up with these three images. I saw that @Julian had his "HYDROTHERAPY" behind the grab bar, but I don't think it will work as well with mine for some reason. I'm leaning towards the third option, from everything on that website.

Thoughts? Do you think there's a better font that will match the name better? I'm open to using whatever company if there's a better option out there.

This is where we put ours. Yours is a bit different.

By the way, I suggest not doing it online. Go to your local sign shop or signs by tomorrow and have them do your registration numbers too. The place I go charged me $25 for the name and numbers. Looks much cleaner than the kits people buy or the mailbox numbers people put on.

No way on the registration numbers, LOL... I got fancy ones from 3dlettering.com and they are AWESOME!

IDK..I went here based on people here:

Got mine in in 3 days. Going to put in on tomorrow!

Oh! That's you! I saw those the other day and they looked awesome. I was afraid you were on of those guys that bought the registration kit, ran out of 6's and flipped a 9 to make it work. Ha

I was hesitant about using that site because in the following thread it was stated that the black came off with sunscreen. Supposedly boatletteringtoyou.com doesn't have that problem? https://jetboaters.net/threads/where-to-buy-decals.2189/

Yes, but notice they sent him a UPGRADED style vinyl for FREE. I bought the UPGRADED vinyl from the start...I don't anticipate any issues. However, there customer service in A+.

In the box..they state if I mess up for ANY reason..they will replace for FREE...kinda nice

You could go spray some sunscreen on it and test it...

# 3 for sure. When I did mine I wasn't sure how I was going to place it....I was prepared to separate it around the handle, but after eyeballing it, liked it behind it.

Last one, but I'd like to see it all on one side for shits and giggles.

I would go with #3 but not capitalize "of".

No loss in meaning nor less proper, etc, but a nice improvement in symmetry.

I'll 'shop that in after work tonight. Also, I think a little more space before the "of" is called for, ESPECIALLY if it's not capitalized.

Looking at the name placement actually had me thinking of relocating the remote further to the right... but that's a lot of fiberglass and gelcoat work just for some vinyl.

Thanks for your opinions so far, guys!

I think you should try putting "OUT" on the outside of the handle, then as @GTBRMC says- go with "of" in lower case and a size smaller centered above the handle, then "OFFICE" on the other side of the handle.

 

[MOA_Chaser]

^^Not a bad idea, but a couple things.. the "of" would be REALLY small. Like an inch or so, and barely visible at water level. Plus, "Out of" is about the same size as "Office" so it's somewhat symmetrical. With the remote on the starboard side, I think that shortening up the port side graphic will make it look even more lopsided.

I'm looking at the doityourselflettering site now as well... they have several decent fonts there.
