Finally decided on the bell engraving

Post by t20569cald » Sat May 14, 2011 5:22 am

I have been struggling with a drawing for a year now and never seem to get it right.
I have had three different people draw it and originally had planned to have it stamped.

I abandoned the one above in favor for the bell from the Ægir logo and it is the same as the one used on the Ægir knife.
It is a done deal and all of the standard case backs are being done this way. Opinions are still welcome though, I am interested in what everyone thinks of it. A little abstract perhaps, and not everyone will know what it is, including my own brother.Image

Having the drawing definately helps see what it is. Looks pretty cool and it actuallly represents something imprortant to watchmaker which is always a solid thing.

abstract doesn't always work. Make it too abstract and its wide open for interpretation. But this one works, Todd. really diggin the logo. :thumbsup:

First I thought, well why not the more traditional diving helmet?
But that is pretty cool, and different.

Maybe it helps to know what it is if it comes like this.
So the original buyer will get the idea and I am doing up the booklet too, with bell pictures etc.
