Well......I decided to go with the "Cigarette" on the headrest. I may be over thinking it but, here's why.
I do think that the Cigarette Oval looks awesome. And I truly struggled with my decision. The thing is, those Cigarette Ovals are slightly different than the one on the sun pad. And the sun pad is slightly different than the Ovals on the side of the boat. So, what I didn't want was to have different "themed" Cigarette Ovals all over the place. The new Cigarette's, that have Ovals everywhere, are all the same color schemes.
In addition, with the "Cigarette" in cursive, the boat will be balanced with the logos. What I mean is, I'll have (3) "Cigarette's" in cursive.....one on the bow, (3) "Cafe Racer" in razor's edge script, and I'll have (3) Cigarette Ovals......the third will be on the center of the steering wheel.

Okay........more progress today. Here is the result of my interior change. I hope I'm making the right decisions.
I'm hopeful, once everything is 100% completed, it'll come together.

I originally thought that I wanted all white grab handles, now I'm not sure. I'm now thinking platinum because I think that there might be to much white, and the platinum would break up the interior a little. There's platinum on the throttles and shifters. Hmmmmmm................
Anyone want to share an opinion?

I also like the Platinum guages - mine are starting to show some age and I would like to throw some money at over next winter - I really like what you've done.....
