I think #3 is the winner but I like # 2 as well, for what it's worth.

Mike is right. I should have mentioned, it'll be the outlines only.

Outlines only, that is entirely different; I would go with #4

Maybe I'll make a few, and see how they actually look when burned.
1 Reminds me of old Trader Vic's stuff
2 Looks really old and worn, maybe 1700's
3 Is a maybe, though it's a crowd favorite
4 I've decided I don't really like
5 I still kinda like, though it's used in a lot of early 20th century baseball logos/jerseys
I'm going to make ones that just say RUM of 1, 2, and 3, and I'll post the results here.

Hahahaha.
Thanks Skip! I took that with my phone. But, I do have 12 years and two Photo degrees.
I really like the full photo, and am impressed with myself. I'll have to post it tomorrow.
More steps tomorrow.

3
of course you can't make the brand 'faded' like 3 is but the letters are best, the rest look too modern, illustrated or collegiate.

Well, I got things cleaned up, though they're still pretty rough. They're a might bit small at size, and with the necessary thickness, well, I don't think anything is going to be clean, which could work.
I'll be posting more photos at lunch-ish.

Work's been a little nutty, but here's the first test.
It's on plywood, held for 5 seconds, heated with a propane torch. I think it's a little too much heat/time. It burned away the laminate immediately. I'll do a test later on hardwood.

I think it looks good! Might want to try 3 seconds and see how that turns out. Very cool that you have a machine shop that you can make these in!
