V Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Well I will send my Cali dial solid caseback for engraving and I am between the following two designs.. They both look very nice (well since I made them myself ) but you must help me decide. Nr 1 DIVERS HELMET WITH TWO SHARKS Nr 2 CREST WITH FOUR DIFFERENT DESIGNS Please vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkarpas Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 i voted the first one, although both are fantastic my greek friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 i voted the first one, although both are fantastic my greek friend Thanks a lot Wel I personally prefer just a bit more the first one but my wife insists that the second one is better.. I personally don;t like the university/team crest that surrounds the 4 designs.. Maybe changing this will look better... Any opinions will be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I hope you dont mind....but I see it this way.... I don't mind at all.. but ti think two sharks and two poseidon's tridents are a bit too much and make it busy? I might move though the sharks where you put the tridents. what do you think of this?

Nightstroker Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think that would work but you might have to make the sharks smaller to fit them on the side of the divers helmet.... I was trying to make use of some of the unused space....maybe it is a little busy....for some reason im not diggin the Poseidon Trident coming out of the top of the helmet either....regardless of what happens the sharks definitely must stay somewhere in the pic....

mikellem Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 V, I am in for the divers helmet! Very cool! -MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I voted for the first one. However, if I were doing it, I'd go with something a lot simpler. Maybe just one shark on its own or a plain diver's helmet. Less is still more in graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sulone88 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Both of your designs are great! I voted for the first one. But less is more in design. Here are a few examples you may want to take a look at. Good Luck with the case back. MasterDiverBadge Special Operations Divers Badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 The first one for me also. The design is clean and eye-catching. The second is too cluttered. Great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks everyone.. I went with the first design.. I also removed the nickname and now it is cleaner. It can be added later on if desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted February 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Today I received a first sample engraved on a simple aluminium foil to see if I approve... The design is one of my first one much more complicated with the shark interlaping the helmet etc etc and still I believe it looks GREAT...

Very nice V...I think this design is truer to a "tool watch" caseback. The 4 panel shield looked too much like fabricated heraldry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usil Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 A pitch fork sticking through the guys diving helmet? That is a pretty grisly picture. Usil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baglc1 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 The middle part under the divers helmet looks like a smiley face. Otherwise good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know.. that was the prototype in order to see how good and precise it can be engraved. The final design engraved on the caseback is this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
