In Response To: Yup, rick's (Pascal, Chiloé Island, Patagonia)

: Rick's original is my favourite, because the person on the revised version is
: too detailed, as others have said. But the sawhorses on the revised
: version are better than the strongback.

I heartily agree with the two suggestions above. I'd also:

• Make the sawhorses blue to distinguish them from the kayak itself. (but see color note below.)

• Use people profiles similar to Rick's originals. More like silhouettes and genderless. I like the arms and *action* of the builder better, though the paddler is way too far forward in the boat.

• Change the font; reminds me too much of military stencilling. Think M*A*S*H...

• Move the paddler's head out of the "O".

• Omit the commas and ellipses. Maybe just a bullet between the words. Not sure about adding "Design". How about "Consult the folks at KBBB"? :-)

• Change the color scheme! I'm an earthtone person myself, seems more like kayaking.

At any rate, I'll also support the endeavour. Can anyone say "Bumper Sticker"? Can anyone say "Decal"?

Thanks for all you've given us, Nick!!!
