This client wants the following copy for the back windows of his pickup. All in ONE LINE!

OK... he's a buddy & I took this one on as a challenge. Well, It's a tough one in my opinion. Join in please!

Here is my B&W rendition.

I am trying to avoid the typical "script name on top & bold title beneath" layout.

He understandably also wants it easy to read & needs to be white for the truck window.

Please critique mine & let me know how you'd approach this one..?

Let's just say I'm less than satisfied with what I came up with & know there is a much better approach here...I am stifled!

Thank you!

Just to throw him another less readable option, I am doing an all script version that would look "fast & cool" on the back window to accent his "readable" doors done by a local "Times bold specialist" if you get my drift.

Michael, have you tried to read that last one? Looks cool, completely illegible.

[Smile] Yea that script shoulda been kept hidden deep in some vault somewhere! Thanks Doug & Sam.
Your re-works were great.

I'll keep you posted on the final layout.

I think Authur hit the nail on the head. Its clean, simple, to the point and attractive at the same time.

Nicely done!

I like Sam's effort. With a little color added it will make a nice logo.

Arthur! That's the sort of response I was looking for. Great job, thank you for posting!

Doug & Sam nailed it too, but the "punch" & siplicity of Arthur's fits this project to a tee.

Would "frailing" down Jeff's a bit ruin the look?

Thank you all. [Applause]

I like the lower case one with the tiles pulled a tiny bit closer maybe.

Thanks for your input Arthur!
