Default LS1 hood emblems

I just finished drawing up my LS1 hood emblems. My buddy has a vinyl cutter and should have them finished soon.
What do you think?

The white part will be white with a black outline. The black part will not be there so it will be body color.

Looks good but I think I would try fatting out the curved parts of the S to try and make it look more like the L and the 1....just my opinion. Think you could make up a ZZ4 for us crate motor dudes? Are you putting it on and LT-1 hood? When I get my LT-1 hood I want to put ZZ4 on it where the LT-1 should be.
Good job
John

I love the ingenuity but I agree w/theandies...I would like it better if the vertical part of the "S" matched the L & 1. I took the liberty with a pen....

IMO, too fancy wit the fonts, too hard to read, narrow up the fat parts....
in a car at speed, or even from streetside viewing...it's not readable...just a blur....especially to people with glasses....

looks great...in the picture on your sig the L looks as if it could be a bit narrower..it looks wider than the S....maybe try to keep the fat part of the LS-1 the same width...
