Need some advice from you guys

[panch0]

I am getting myself an etching machine since my hammer and stamping is not that great looking and I have been getting requests to better mark the knives I make. Which one of these marks do you guys like. These are going to be about 1/2" to 3/4" tall and how ever wide it needs to be. It will be on the left side of the blade. Thanks.

I like the one on the right, better. But it's your stamp.

I subscribe to the "KISS" doctrine. (Is that acronym in Rick's new "Abbreviations" Sticky?) I like the one on the left, but without the star.

EDIT: Just checked. Yep, Rick included it. Nice job, Rick.

I like the layout/style on the left ,but replace the star with the paw print. Oh yeah I just thought about this Frank, As far as artistic embellishments which would better accomodate whatever name you would be giving your models. for example the "Texas star" tx ranger, cowboy model, Buffalo skinner etc. or texas tracker, hunter, etc.

I like the right side better.

[2dumb2kwit]

+1 for the one on the right.

[Sourdough]

+1 more for the one on the right, W/ no paw. The paw adds nothing.

I like the one on the right. I think the track just looks more organic, woodsy, outdoorsy, etc.

I am afraid that my revulsion for the Dallas Cowboys prevents me from ever liking anything with a blue star on it.

Right side

[equus]

i like the one on the right best but the layout on the left would probably be easier to put on a knife than the curve layout on the right. but i truly like the paw print

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

the paw print does it for me, i suggest tightening up the space a little too. trim and wild

[Ole WV Coot]

Gotta go with Hope. Right side, no paw print.

[panch0]

Ok guys I think the font is going to be the one one the right with no paw print. I like the KISS idea. Thanks guys for your thoughts. You guys rock!

[vthompson]

I also like the one on the right side.

Understated Elegance.....the quality does the talking in a tool.

He sells them. Might that limit the market?

Greetings Panch0 ...

As a Graphic Designer i could not help it, lemme know if you like what you see ...

[panch0]

That is very nice work. I scaled back cause I didn't want the design to be so big on the blade. I like the font you used.
