I knew I could count on your, Ken. When you think of fishing lures, canned
meat probably comes to mind, but we were thinking of something more along
the lines of a bass in the logo.

Thanks for playing anyway.

Yeah, I've always been opposed to SPAM on non-commercial
Usenet newsgroups. And I'll always bitch about SPAM when
I see SPAM on non-commercial Usenet newsgroups.

Count on it.

Joe, I am not a regular here, but I still lurk from time to time. I have
plenty to do watching over my little Carolina Skiff group.

However, my impression of the two logos was VERY clear....

As soon as I flashed your page up, the TOP logo gave me a powerful
suggestion that the bass was attempting to attack and swallow the "S" in the
name. It amazed me just how powerful I felt that. I don't often react much
to the tons of advertising that we all see.

The only suggestion that I would make would be to either make the bass a
little bigger, or the "S" a little smaller, to further amplify that "eating"
feeling that I experienced.

All the rest of your questions ask for logical responses...I don't think I
buy smaller fishing items on logic, very often.

regards, RichG TX/IL

The top logo has more IMPACT. It will also be a cleaner look for embroidery
or screen printing.
The bigger bass will catch everyone's eye, and I believe that is the "hook"
so to speak.
