My Shop Needs a Sign

[Eric Patterson]

I'm going to put a sign up outside the door of my shop and have been playing around with designs. The sign will be about 3' wide and made from wood. I have a friend with a CNC router so I plan to go with a relief carving with paint in the low spots and natural wood everywhere else. Sadly I can't draw to save my life so I typically modify art I can scrape up elsewhere which is what we have below. These are the designs I'm toying with. I'm open to your preferences, comments and suggestions, and if we have any artists in the bunch that want to kick my butt in the design department by all means please do. I'd love to see what someone else could come up with.

#1 for me. Can the shading be toned down some? I'm no artist BTW!

 

[Geo Kaiser]

I like #1 it's a classic

 

[jim bosanny]

I'm on board with a lighter version of #1. The old fella in the boat adds a lot IMHO.

 

[Dave Diefenderfer]

I vote for #3, as it represents what you have built.

 

[Capt Rich Geminski]

# 2 for me.

 

[Mark W]

#1 as it speaks to the history of DBHF. I am certain if Lee were still among us he could help out in the art department. Merry Christmas Eric.
