I use the helm wheel as the sun behind the horizon line. The whole thing symbolizes the sunset over the sea, and with the helm wheel emphasizes the feeling of to be a captain.

It's pretty nice - thank you. We've never split up the ActiveCaptain word into two words like that. I'm not necessarily against it but it looks a little funny to me. I like your treatment of it - keep it that way for a little bit and let me show my partner.

I made a hat with your logo. You can see it here:

Also please check out my latest general comment on the main page. How come everyone is using the same powder-blue colors?

What do you think will make your logo look better on the hat?

I appreciate your comments! thanks a lot! I've tried to make it more colorful using red. I've changed the logo joining the words (less funny). I've made a test putting this new logo in a hat and it seems to work better. Check it out:

I hope you like it!

Nice designs. I like them. You're doing a really nice job - thank you.

Thanks for your own hat images. You have to be very careful with the image size though - especially the height. The images in my hat samples are as large as they can be. See where my images are in height - you can't go above that because the machines can put stitching up any higher on the hat. That would make the images on your hats look smaller. I'll make some samples today.

I'm moving your image up - I like it.

Keep #106 up too. I like looking at that one because it makes me wonder whether the words should be broken up. I need other people to see that one.

You're doing really nice work - I'm impressed!

I really thank your comments! I've uploaded two new versions splitting the words again. I'm trying to improve the visibility of the whole logo with bigger elements(I'm thinking about hats, mugs, etc.), and also introducing the grey. Cheers!

I just don't like the word split. So many people put spaces between the two words - we try to keep them together. The words just shouldn't be split.

Thanks for experimenting with it some more!
