Hey Grump I was one of the three that designed and spec'd the engine and truck for Jack Daniel's. They (corporate advertising) were very particular regarding the lettering and logo use. I wanted to break the black and white with a small green striple in honor of the Jack Daniel Green Label Whiskey. I got vetoed on that!
