Anybody have any cool ideas for Fonts? The name of the boat is Instant Gratification. While waxing I ripped off the old graphics and want to update. The boat is white with black/green graphics, so really any color will work. I'm thinking maybe all upper case block letters, black with green or silver outline. But I want something different but not too crazy either, because the graphics are subtle but just enough. I've looked through Microsoft Word but nothing just popped for me. The area I'm working with is 10" wide and 3' long. Any ideas?

Here is one page of examples to look at. There are a lot more if you search boat lettering or something similar.

Why not have a good graphic artis/designer do the logo for you and have something much more stylish and unique? They can then send you the vinyl ready to apply. And it isn't going to cost you much more at all- if anything.

PM Glassdave or Ryan Beckley.

Yeah that's what I'm doing. I stopped by the local vinyl graphics place and they were not too enthused about desinging something for me since its such a small job. So I thought maybe I could get some ideas here. If not, I can just have them help me. But I would rather give the business to someone on here and it would probably look better too!

Instant Gratification brings to mind a MS font called "Magneto" bring it up in a word document, highlight it and go to bold italic with strike throughs. Good luck, Jeff

Haha...So do I. That's kind of like what I'm thinking, except it can't be stacked like that. And have the letters filled in with a color and the highlight a different color. It's just hard to picture. I just want something that will flow with the graphics on the side of the boat.
