righto.. ready for signage to go on ute... looking for feedback on design... leaning towards top version ? ... using paint then distressing it a bit to make it look old

I like the top one but think it would look better in an oval shape rather than a sqaurish oval (or whatever shape it is).

I've only just now stumbled across this thread, what signage did you end up going with , Mud? Got any photos of the finished product? Would love to see cos i'm thinking of putting some signage on my matte black ute also, but maybe now i cant for fear of looking like a try-hard!!
