Hi Heads. I have been working on the registration banner for the Detroit International for about 2 weeks now. It has been a fun and rewarding task. I paint in between vynull jobs and other things. I have replicated Mark Casey's cool meet logo on a 3'x10' black enamel-receptive banner. Off to the side of it, I am writing "Welcome Letterheads" in script above "REGISTRATION" which is done in an Alf Becker alphabet, Modern Stately Gothic. I was gonna use Atkinson's Heavy Sign Script, but on second thought, it seems to "old" to go with the 1930s style theme. I am putting a bit of Strong on the bottom, using one of his alphabets to write out "Courtesy of..." But there is no script in my Strong book that I feel like duplicating. Should I root thru my Becker stuff and use one of his scripts? I have it laid out already in Atkinson. But it feels like I am trying to use too many bells and whistles at this point. Don't you hate the feeling of trying to know when to stop? Love...Jill

Jill, just use what looks good to you and don't worry if it is the right font. If you like it, then it is right.

Jacky....can you see inside my brain or something? That's what I was looking for! Don't get me wrong, fellas, I LOVE Atkinson's alphabets. But by "old" I meant the wrong era. Thanks! Love...Jill PS This banner has to look as non-Coro-Queen as possible! edited to add: PS Billy...I want it to look as great as that smokin' S.O.T. banner you did for the Mars meet!
