I think on reflection that the thing I am bothered by the most on this patch is that the curve of the patch edge and the curve of the lettering are not the same. This bothers the graphic application developer in me, where the two differing lines of curvature make my eyeballs bounce.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the curved patch, but it would IMHO be far better if the curve of the edge and lettering was the same. (both having compatible curve radii.Cy

I guess not having an 80 anything,
except parts, I don't carry any weight, but I do have my usual opinion which can be a little off the wall.
I would like the Red one to have Gold lettering. To me, patches are different things of color than the motorcycle paint, the color of your cycle clothing, etc. Therefore, I like patches that pop your eye like a 10 megawatt laser. Doesn't nearly everyone think that firetruck are gorgeous with the red background and the gold lettering??

Don't worry about the curves of the patch edges and the lettering. The radius will match, between the lettering, curve of the borders, and curve of the patches.Four wheels move your body, two wheels move your soul.

I wouldn't worry about the red flake
I can see it but u have to be peering down into the tank. Ozz I think you & TC have done an excellent job. I like the black tank the best of all .It still shows enough detail to identify the bike .Most people only get a glimpse of our bikes as we zip past them anyhowBackground color -I like both. The blue is more symbolic of Yamaha & stands out better but the red is a sharp looking patch as well so I would be happy as hell with either patch. I would be happy to own any that you have designed so far but I do prefer black tank. NEXT

I think blue background and yellow print looks great and is true to Yamaha. As for the bike, mine is "black/red" which really means black unless you catch the sun just right. So, I guess I vote for a black bike if it looks ok on the patch. Not maroon, red was a good color the bike came in, blue I think looks good, but not a Yamaha color? Good work guys!80 SG

Spirit
STEPPENWOLF,
I clicked on your EWMN URL and was taken to the Spirit video - a band I had forgotten about and probably heard only a few times but that song was one of the few times... took me back to high school.

Go ahead, click on the bikes - you know you want to...the electrons are ready.
