I have been mulling over changing makers marks for quite awhile. And I think I have settle on this:



I have been talking with the Folks over at TUS Tech, and they are going to ship me over a couple of size samples to see how it looks, before we commit to it, but my guy there said it should look pretty great. Im thinking the 3/8 x 3/8 will be the way to go for me. What are your opinions?
 
That prints 2.75X3.25" on my computer screen. I don't know what it will look like when it is .5X.6".

Here is the resized version of the mark, they made for me.

You have to kinda zoom in to see it, Im hoping it works out! On a completely different note, Stacy, do you still use T-88 epoxy? I used to buy it locally and I could get it pretty cheap, but I cant find it anywhere but online.
 
My idea: that logo will have to be very large if will be able te read the letters
Do you want a large logo on your knives?
 
Yes, I use T-88 as well as G-flex. Woodcraft carries it.

That re-sized logo seems like you would need a magnifying glass to read the lettering ... if it even etches clearly at all. The buffalo looks good.

I may drop the full size text, and just do larger Initials instead. They are working with me to create it, Ill have several samples of different sizes and configurations ill get a piece of steel to etch them on and Ill let you know.
