Does the hole between the name and the panel bug you? What does? Any suggestions? Hoping to be kept fairly simple. Will also have a small phone number beneath.

Hey Tim you have two compeating font (decrotive fonts) I would use a plain style font for enterprise and why not stack JD and Lamb or try a triangle in between the two!

I did have a diamond between and a sans serif in the panel, but I thought it looked blah. I think I'm just in a blah mood today, nothing is looking right to me today. I think its because its sunny outside today, and I really dont want to be here doing this, hehehe.
I must be working backwards today, here's an earlier attempt.

Just the way I typed it in. Upper/lowercase. I did modify the B using a capital cause I wanted the droop of it to touch the panel. Maybe the spurs should all line up? I could use all caps, and then that would also probably fix the gap between the L and A with the swoosh that comes off the capital A in this typeset.
I think I needed to start this altogether differently with a sketch first, instead of just flying at it without any real thought of where I wanted it to go. Sad thing is, I'm sure the trucker would be happy enough with straight helvetica.

Absolutely beautiful Doug! I am amazed at how well you knockout some of these. I am really looking forward to meeting with you on my next trip to Anchorage. I hope you're getting through your family stuff ok.
These are very close to what my vision was, but even more over the top, but I surely wasn't even getting close with what I had. I decided to go play in the sun!
Top one is very suitable for the medium blue of the truck. My colored versions of my crappy design are yellow/gold with black. I wouldnt copy what you've done here, but I think I'll have you send me an email with a copy of the file along with an invoice. I'll call you tomorrow!
