White lettering or not?

I'm a fan of white letters in.

 

This is going to sound pretentious, but as a photographer and a graphic designer, I recommend against using papyrus as a typeface with your images... On a separate note, sweet truck!

 

Funny you should say that I am in the process of doing a new watermark right now. Why would you recommend against papyrus, I'm going with something else but I'm just curious. Is it kind of like not using comic sans for office emails? (God I wish some of my coworkers would get that)

and thank you

 

Black out but depends on the truck I guess!

 

use of the tires #1, colors of the truck #2.
i dont do WWO if the tire is going offroading at all. the WW either gets damaged or too dirty to ever get cleaned again. if you offroad and your WW is always very white, well, maybe you went down a gravel driveway or something

 

The owner (me) went with what he likes. The wheels and steps are OEM.

 

Cool. It's your pig, it's your farm!

 

I'm very specific but white letter out only if they're solid letters(BFGs), black wheels and AT tires... not MTs
but that's just me

 

Old Dutch and a little water on a bristle brush will scrub those letters bright white again.

 

Actually, yes, It is very much the same concept as using comic sans. Papyrus has been widely over-used; it is also gimmicky. It's one of the first things we are taught not to do as graphic designers. Papyrus just isn't as professional... The more you know.

 

yeah, but a pita after they keep getting black from offroad. i'd rather not the hassle. so i guess it depends on use too.

I was just giving a tip to brighten them up again, like on a muscle car.

Mine are black out. Its a truck.

 

I like white lettering. It adds a sporty livery, indication of motion at low speed *from the outside viewer's perspective, but DAMN is it hard to keep it looking white. I should also mention I have a white vehicle with black rims, so the white lettering really pops from an otherwise black area comprised of the tire, rim, and wheel-well. Next set of tires might be all black.

 

I like my white letters out.

 

I just mounted up a set of AT-3's and went laces out.... I liked the look as the OWL has better contrast against body color.
Also the OWL sidewall has a smooth texture opposed to the ribbed type texture of the black sidewall which I find more of a PIA to clean. I haven't had OWL's in a long while so I find the change-up to be good.
AND so far liking the AT-3's very much.... I haven't had the puppies in the rough yet but their road manners have surpassed my expectations.....

 

If you wheel, black out. If you mall crawl, white out.

 

Currently white out, but will go black out when I get my wheels powder coated.

 

No one is ever going to complain or comment about black out, but you'll hear those with the white outs. All baja trucks came with white out and I hate it, but I'll wait to change it when these bfg need replacement
