need some advice on some graphics
 

I am going to bite the bullet and paint my boat next year, what the hell why stop here. I really would like to remove the stars on side(they are vinyl) and add something real quick for the season. Chris at Race Line Digital has come up with some ideas, so I was hoping you guys could give some feedback or ideas. Thanks in advance!

I think that boat would look great just by removing the stars.

i personally like number 3. but if you want it to say cigarette number 4 isnt bad!

I like #5

3 or 5 they will look awesome.

number 3

AP001X, looks sharp, but the additional graphics look a little too bow heavy. I'd thin them out fore of the vertical magenta stripe, and carry them back toward the oval, tastefully; in with a thicker "brush".

Thanks for all the imput. I also like 3 and 5. Do you guys like the pic with the offshore on it or no? I did not like it at first but it is growing on me. Also the with the Cigarette script do y
ou like the black or purple.

Thanks again,
Frank

I like #2 the best. Actually, 1,2 or 3 work better with the current paint. The Cigarette logo on 4+5 doesn't look right in my opinion. They look too much like a last minute addition and is too overpowering.

#4

IMHO the best it's n. AP 002X without the magenta stripe , if you need some (magenta or burgundy ) do the bolt in that color but leave the Cigarette logo black !

I have too that kind or green mint ...I hate it !!!

ap002x is sweet

I agree. I like simple graphics.

Do you like the one with the offshore graphic or the one without?

I would do one of two things after removing the stars:

Leave it with just the original striping.
or
Add the Cigarette script where the stars were (above the stripe and slightly more subtle than in picks 4/5)

i agree

without, it adds just enough to me without making it too busy... even the blue looks good 003x...do what makes you happy though. good part is do them in vinyl and you can change it later. :)

I like #4. If it was my boat I'd just remove the stars and leave it until I was ready to make bigger changes.

My 2 cents -

I have a BFA in Fine Arts and own a Cig, so this is my opinion.

The front of the boat is to heavy on graphics. It looks like the flow of the design is strongest in the middle - therefore, the stripe (vertical) is the direction the design should go (flow) across the top to the other side

I would make that stripe thicker (new design) and run in across to the other side. Ask your guy to work on that objective. I do like the Cig script, but I would put it on the top (front of each deck longways) and remove the stars.

One other thing. I have an 88 Cafe and I am torn on a repaint of the original design. As an artist, I am staying with the original design DONE BY the Artist at the factory.
