Too little and it doesn't adhere well.
Right. (What?)Quote:

Still Cartoony.

That's better. It "pops". But it still kneeeds a KNOB! :neener:
Right where it says 'island.'Quote:

I'm with Chaz...better, but the knobs are obviously bigger on The Island.
Don't worry Carl, we're a tough crowd. But our knobs are bigger and our love is strong.
excellent play along, BTW.:cool2:
I figured if I'm gonna add a knob, it needs numbers, too:

Numbers were traced from an image of real Halicrafters dial, can be changed to suit.
You must be psychic.
Now that's f'ing cool, and I'm still cleaning my smoke.
give me a minute.
Yep, very cool.
But, your knob looks flaccid. We probably wish it larger, firmer, and more filling.
Mango diesel has relatively few visually magnifying qualities.
Cheap beer say's 'we love you' though.
This is the The Island of Misfit Hams. We cannot brook any flaccid knobs—those are for Teh Zed.Quote:

The numbers needed to be changed.

Yes, yes, she said.
Now that's a knob we could be proud of...
Kudos, O' keeper of the west coast freakishness.
Carl, That's fricken awesome. We seem to bring out the best in those that take the time,...
Arrgh. I'm right f'ucked up.
Wall leaner.Quote:

Thanks. I decided that it was a bit cluttered so I simplified the numbers a bit. Notice where it's tuned...Quote:

Knob needs a finger dimple ;)
Sorry, good one :D
Thought about it briefly, Cor, but decided it would just clutter it up.Quote:

An old school fluted or scalloped knob maybe? The current one looks like a track ball. But it's getting better with all the input. Maybe lose the drop shadow on the radio bezel, for simplicity?
It's really starting to look nice.
The drop shadow is a corporate thing. They don't accept designs without them. It's something that the marketing guys insist on but then again they are the biggest hooker and blow supporters in the country and make up 70% of the hooker and blow GDP.Quote:

Something like that. Could be improved upon.
Turned out not to be as big a problem as I thought it might be thanks to AI's Distort filter. Took a few tries to get it right but here we go. It didn't look right in the old color so I changed it to gray, along with the window frame and switched from a radial gradient to a linear one, which is what I should have used in the first place. I took the numbers off too, they seemed unnecessary.
FYI, I still have all the other iterations saved as-is so it's no big deal to serve up whatever version is decided upon for the final.

I like it!
May I pick a nit? The kerning in the text looks a little off. M & I should be a tad closer together (almost looks like two words).
