Just to help give us a better idea of what may or may not be possible & how things would sort of look..
But could we get the the mark-ups of what we have so far sized down to actual size & then posted here for further review?
Thanks!
Hopefully this works..
Actual size, at least in MS Paint on my computer & also when my browser is viewed at 100%...
The problem with that one is it's not to scale. For the eye to be large enough for the hole to be the pupil and fit inside the triangle it wouldn't leave much room for anything else.
I've been doing some pondering...
1) I still think the knobs are too busy
2) If we got rid of the circle it would make more space for text
3) The triangle we've been using is uneven. If we make it an equilateral triangle and thin the lines it will also make more space.
If we make the triangle slightly smaller the text can be bigger
Part of me is not convinced that fine details will turn out very well. It might be a good idea to have a simpler design as a back-up. This is just an example. I used this eye in my signature while Edd was working on the second sigil.
No matter which way we go with this type of design, it's going to be problematic. (This is from a photo of a ProVari end cap to make sure the hole was the correct size.)
PoM-PoM said we might be able to move the vent holes. Bobo has 3 holes that are slightly smaller than the one on the ProVari.
Maybe? If the ambigram was longer?
Ponder, ponder, ponder...
I like that last one.
That really put things into perspective! There really isn't much real estate for a busy graphic is there?!...Hopefully this works..

I think this was posted before somewhere, but anyway...
See how little detail there is on the zombies? I wonder how legible it will be if we cram a lot of stuff on it.
ETA: The Jolly Roger has a little more detail, but again, the design is very simple.
ETAA: It just dawned on me how small the vent holes are on the Jolly Roger. I was concerned that ProVape wouldn't want them very small for safety reasons. I guess not.

Exactly..
And keep in mind that it will be engraved -- & not with heavy black lines painted on it which make it stand out even more...

Understood..
But shrink them down to actual size...

The caps are a tiny bit smaller than a quarter.
I'm kind of liking this one but I tend to like things that aren't symmetrical. And it give more room for the eye. But then I kind of like the entire logo too. I think having Provarinati on it three times is a bit overkill. Just too busy.
I held my standard end-cap right up to the monitor.. perfect match (okay, maybe off by a pixel or 3)...
Others may have to adjust their browser view...
EDIT: My set-up might be weird compared to others'.. Monitor set to 1600 x 900 resolution, but my browser is viewed at 125%...

Not sure yet. Was thinking of using Gilder's Paste and I have this Blacken It liquid but I don't know if it works on stainless steel.
So far one of my favorites. Would just want like to see the vent hole done as two smaller holes on either side of the emblem. Also, "provarinati" done in its regular font with "LUMEN SEES TOTUS" engraved around the rim.
Sort of a combination of the two I guess- lol
"PROVARINATI," only written once above the triangle; and, the rim engraving.
Definitely dig the emblem; I don't see it as too intricate for the machining process.
Blacken It blackens brass, steel, nickel-silver, copper and most metals except aluminum and stainless steel.
A-West Blacken-It
Doesn't Kenny do coatings? Maybe he can suggest something?
I love the extension cap idea. My favorite use is my Mini with the extension cap and the 18490 battery. The size and look is just right for me. And I could buy one of both caps! Great idea.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the engraving process probably has some sort of limit to how thin it can go..
We might not be able to get ultra-fancy detailed font...
