What would you guys think about dropping the words "Lumen Sees Totus" off the end cap entirely and put something referencing the charity? "I am CASAA" or something similar.

I am not for that because I am me, not CASAA or anyone or anything else. The funds are going to the charity. I do not want the charity on the end cap. Just my opinion.

I would like to see Provarinati on the end cap and the eye if possible.

Actually my "hmmm..." was because it was hard to read.

Another thing to keep in mind is that when you look at the caps you pick them up and look closely. You don't hold them at arms length.

Yeah; that was the reason for my last post on having just the full emblem on the cap and the words on the rim. It's a provarinati collectors cap- the buyers will know what the emblem means; so, I don't know how important the words are in reference to the emblem.
Just my thought thought.

Hmmm...

So far, this is my favorite. Has Provarinati and a prominent eye. Not too busy. Beautiful.

What goes around the rim? Lumen Sees Totus? Or should Provarinati go around the rim and the Lumen Sees Totus go on the bottom next to the eye?

So far, this is my favorite design...but I would like it a little better if the eye's ProVari pupil logo was retained, and the vent holes were moved to bracket the "Provarinati" logo instead, where the two dots are now. Other than that, I would be happy to pop that on my ProVari.

Now we just need to come up with the edge graphics. I'd still like to see Lumen Sees Totus and Made in the U.S.A. on the rim.

I wonder if we can convince them to do the extension cap as well, with the standard eye/pyramid on the bottom, and the standard "Provarinati" Logo wrapped around the tube section.

Edit: For clarification, they've said they could do the extension cap, but only in satin silver finish. I was just wondering if we could get them to do both a standard and extension cap (It's a pity ProVape doesn't manufacture the extension tubes).

*That might depend on how many confirmed sales we can lay on the table.

It's a defense mechanism. Rule #1 - do not get attached to a design made for someone else.

ETA: It would be nice if the ambigram was longer, so it wrapped around a little more.
I'll shoot an email over to FlipScript tomorrow. They will adjust the kerning (spacing) at no charge for me.

I really like like the bottom one, Ocey.

Here's some more eye candy.

Again, we can engrave the outer rim of the cap, and the vent hole(s) placement can be moved around the design.

I am not sure why but, I like the eye on this one a bit more, just thin down the triangle, and remove the black circle, like ocy did on one of hers. I like the writing in a circular pattern though, around the rim, and using the Lumen phrase, not made in usa, I would like it on there, just not much room.

ProVape has decided to make a new endcap design or custom Provarinati wrap for the Provarinati to use and display. Some of the proceeds will go to a charity or cause that the Provarinati collectively pick.

Here's the thing, they want us collectively choose the design. Most of you know that the Provarinati as a group use several logos, catch phrases and symbols. They asked me to spearhead this effort, which will consist of me counting votes and listening to suggestions and providing the final approved artwork. Since this forum doesn't seem to have poll options for the thread, it's going to done in a little more informal manner, and I'll let the thread run until most of us (or even all of us) have posted in it.

Here are a few excerpts from the email David sent me:

David also wants to

Why are they doing it?


My thoughts on this are as follows:
We, the Provarinati, have several designs that we use, and we can use as many or few as we want on the endcap. (With EddardinWinter's permission to use the Eye of Providence logo), I would like to see an endcap with the "Provarinati" logo wrapped around the bottom of the circle, with "Lumen Sees Totus" at the top, and the "Eye of Providence" logo in the center, with the vent hole coming through the pupil of the eye.

Other options include just having the word "Provarinati," or just having the Eye of Providence logo, or even a reference to the charity...
It's all up to you. I'm not a fan of wraps, as they are a bit less permanent (if far more colorful) than an end cap, but if you would rather have that instead, post your thoughts in this thread.

My role at the end of all this is to provide ProVape with high quality artwork that they can use for the design. I'm not getting anything out of this other than an opportunity to buy one of these end caps or wraps as well. This is a project for the Provarinati, by the Provarinati.

Please share your thoughts on the design and what charity/cause you think should be the recipient of the donation made on behalf of the Provarinati.

I like this.

I wonder why they can't do the polished stainless extension cap? I LOVE that end cap, and it would look great imo!

Btw, I think the standard end cap should have made in u.s.a. engraved around the rim, not on the cap face. Just my $0.02

Well I would buy the extension cap also, if they made them, and I agree with KY_Rob, the made in the USA around the rim, not on the face would be good.
