Default Need some opinions on font for custom TWIN TURBO emblems

I'm getting some custom made aluminum twin turbo emblems made for my Ecoboost. They are going to be powder coated red to match the skid plate on my bull bar. I'm putting one on each side of the cowl hood and one on the tailgate.
I need some opinions on font. I downloaded these cool fonts but can't decide on a favorite.

Don't have any pics with the new red skid plate yet. Just put it on today. I'll clean her up tomorrow and post some pics.

Let me know what number of font you like best. The smaller black print under each "TWIN TURBO" is the name of that custom font. You can just ignore those.

Have a matching license plate too. Plus same script with a stainless background instead of black.

There are advantages to being a graphic designer. :-)

you are asking for what we think....

well i hate to say it but i dont like any of them. i would try to use a font that looks like the 5.0 symbol or the "ford" style font. if it doesnt match the F150 logo then it will look like an after thought or just cheap in my eyes.

that being said its your truck and you should do what you want. take my ideas for what they are and do what you think will look best.

btw its a great idea

RTR!

I have to agree with Rob9550. If it does not look "factory" you loose style points. Maybe look back at older ford emblems and see if any of those styles will transfer to the look you want. Ford puts allot of time and thought into their emblem/font selections.
Again these are just MY opinions. Have fun this seems like a cool idea.

Like many others, I dislike 'advertisement' like this. What is the point? Does it make your dick bigger or something...lol?
Why not also put a "High Energy Discharge Spark Plugs" decal on while you're at it?
Or the good old standby..."Fuel Injected"??

At the end of the day, it is YOUR truck of course, so do what you want...I am sure it adds a bunch of horsepower and performance.

LOVE the 'EcoBeast', though....that is clever.

I think Rob9550 is on the mark. IMO I would try to be consistant with the font and match the Ford style.

Thanks. It's printed on a removable wall graphic material. It fits perfectly over the stock ecoboost emblems.

I do agree that I don't care for any of the fonts, and number three was the one I liked best it of your choices.

I would prefer something more understated like Eurostyle or perhaps Serpantine, or even Helvetica light extended.
