The holly should hold that new fresh look for years . <br /><br />I think the design would make very cool t-shirts too .

My initial reaction though was T-Shirt. <br />If you've noticed over the last few years, car manufacturers are making their logos bigger and bigger. They are no longer dimunitive but they're now in your face...bling.<br />And I've always thought that the stuff on t-shirts show more sophistication if they don't shout so loud with large graphics.<br />So if it were me, I'd like to see it 25% smaller.<br /><br />SFPaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-69035415274915861062010-07-10T20:33:20.725-05:002010-07-10T20:33:20.725-05:00Thanks for the feedback Narayan!Thanks for the feedback Narayan!Jameel Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083855284894791544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-80125588197593830082010-07-10T17:44:54.753-05:002010-07-10T17:44:54.753-05:00Sorry, I missed that small detail at the top of th...Sorry, I missed that small detail at the top of the post--that this is for commissioned benches, not for vises. In general I don't prefer branded artifacts; seems like just about all surfaces are advertising possibilities these days (hence the nascar statement). But when you've built a commissioned bench, it of course makes complete sense to "sign" the bench, and this is a fine way to do it. For me, I suppose I'd prefer something on the underside of the top or the side of a leg; furniture makers often sign the bottom or inside of a drawer or some other concealed surface. But that's me.<br /><br />I do like the overall style of the medallion. The BC logo is a bit out of place. Next to the delicacy of the other fonts and the illustration, it's a bit conspicuous. But other than that, it definitely conveys a vintage charm.Narayanhttp://www.etherfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-47760962422864240342010-07-10T13:32:16.543-05:002010-07-10T13:32:16.543-05:00Hey Jameel.

Particularly the wood surfaces. <br /><br />Just an idea.Narayanhttp://www.etherfarm.comnoreply@blogger.com
