I’ve tried Google, but that’s just not working.

I’m trying to put together a logo for my fishing boat. She’s named the Rim Reaper, which is a little play on words using the Grim Reaper and Pacific Rim. I want a simple caricature in black, of the Grim Reaper, but with a fish hanging from his scythe. If I could find the Grim Reaper part, I think I could add a fish pretty easily, but I’m having no luck at all.

Anyone have any ideas where to search? Or any artistic types want to trade a dead fish for a drawing? Or maybe a stock S1W part or two? (There’s the Buell part, Blake.)

I seem to be stumped.

Capt. Pete

Too intense?:

Not intense enough?:

Might be something to work with:
http://www.funtoos.com/d/afull/grim_reaper_tattoo.jpg

This one you could replace the word "cake" with "fish".:

On this one the scythe appears to be made from a backbone, maybe you could replace the backbone with a fish skeleton?:

This one might be appropriate for those bad days we all have sometimes.:

Any help?

Capt. Pete, Give me a day or two to draw something up and I'll send it to your e-mail address. I understand you want the Grim Reaper in black but do you want a full color type of logo or a silhouette style? Let me know and I'll get to work ASAP. BTW, you've already paid for it.

"Rim Job" -- My oh my!

The things you folks know about that I don't (didn't). My hair is beginning to curl as we speak.

There are so many things that would never be done if I were the one who had to invent it. A "Rim Job" is pretty high up on the list. A back flip on a motorcycle is another, as is cliff diving. I did invent the skateboard though. Remind me to tell you about sometime (spoken in my best NYC accent).

Well, now that you mention it… I was looking for a domain name for a little website, and discovered that Rim Reaper had already been taken. After I finally settled on an old corporation name I used for a prior fishing boat, I started getting curious about that Rim Reaper domain. Holy Crap!

But the boat’s already named, has been for a couple of years, and if it gets the deviates all excited, good for them. They can stop by and give jaws a go, if that rings their bell.

Anyway, thanks for all the input. Except for the links, Boese; my one foray by accident was quite sufficient. maybe because I never heard the expression pacific rim .... Easy to remedy. I prescribe starting out slow, maybe two hours of NPR a week to begin with. You can always increase the dosage as you become acclimated.

Mike - great idea on the fish skeleton. Thanks.

Ohhh..., I suspect he'll find you eventually. And I suspect you’re right. He’s been nipping at my heels for years. But we’ve struck a little accord: I’m about to be in charge of his dirty work with reference to the local shark population. That should buy me a little more time.

Jim – whatever you think would look best. It’s going on the boat, about 2½ feet in diameter, and then on my truck doors as well. (Maybe on top of my old bald head, if it really comes out cool!)

Capt. Pete

PS: The BadWeb out-Googles Google. Thanks.

NPR ?


sorry about the links,
bomber thought the same thing though!

And funny enough here is another thing i found
http://www.the-turds.co.uk/rim-reaper.asp

and yes indeed if you had this domain http://www.rimreaper.com/ support
then i suspect you could be makin some money...

holy crap is the exact expression i would have used too :-)

boese

BTW i am not responsible for you clicking on any more links, or responsible for the contents of those sites, so please do not dog me for it ! :-)
it is more funny than anything else anyway ...

Did this one get linked? I don't remember where I found it, and I can't read the text on it either. Might be good for an idea anyway.

Capt. Pete, Should it just say "GUAM" at the bottom or do you want a port/bay/city in front of it? "@@@@@, GUAM" Got your note this a.m. with not enough time to reply but I think I have "it" and I'll send a scan from home tomorrow afternoon.

Jim - doesn't need any copy at all.

Boese - You might hear it in discussions of world commerce: "Pacific Rim Nations, etc. etc."

No NPR in Germany, but maybe PRI, for Intertnational.

And you might hear it on BBC world news as well. That's always good for a different slant on things, plus it's fun to listen to the Limeys talk.

Well talk of irony. I was talking to my mother, who is some unknown reason, takin up with writing poetry. She wrote a poem about following her through hell on a daily basis(don't ask). The point being she wants to print up t-shirts and have the poem beside what else? A picture of the grim reaper. She couldn't find any good pictures so I told her I would check the net for her. Low and behold I come to check in on the BWB, and what do I find. Man I love this site. Maybe this is a good sign for dear old mom, or is it a bad sign? I'm getting a sickly feeling.

That’s one of the things about you that I like so much, Sean; you’re predictable. I mashed the button on my stopwatch when your post popped up: I missed it by 23 minutes! Not bad, considering I’m ten time zones AHEAD of you.

I think I got it covered. Jim Bantz (JB2) sent me his design for a logo, and hit it right on the head.

We'll post it when we get it finalized.

Thanks to all for your help on this. (Even Boese and Rocket.)

I guess it is too late. I don't know why it took me so long to remember this one. It may be too tame and childish, but there is a cartoon called the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy where two kids are befriended by the Grim Reaper. Here are some misc. pics of Grim:
Grim 1
Grim 2
Grim 3
Grim 4
Grim 5
Grim 6
Grim 7

Well, it won't be because you've worked any harder or longer at it.

Different paths, but I should be over the hump in a month or so, with the tough part behind me. The reapin's the easy part: just ride out there to the banks and make a few withdrawals.

Off shore fishing boats do, Sean. Generally on the upper side band. Simplex and duplex. Talk 'round the world on 'em. Receive weather faxes, too. Even emails.
