David,
I'm moving forward a bit with the texture work on the cargo containers. I decided to just give your novels a listen and pick out some corporate names to play with as decal graphics on the sides of the shipping containers. So far I've used 'Wassermann' and 'Scarcher-Nova'. A thin beginning, I admit, but better than nothing.
I've more or less figured out the correct method of applying the textures down to the containers, but it is slow going at best.
More as it happens,
Smiles,

Ignatz,
Regarding product ideas, I'll come up with a list for you, and send it along this evening.
I'm running out the door right now. Talk to you later!

Ignatz,
Okay, here's a list of ten possible companies that might have their names on the outside of the cargo boxes. A few of them have mottoes or catch-phrases, which are in quotes.
BTW, I really like what you did for 'Wassermann' and 'Scarcher-Nova'! (Though it's actually spelled 'Vaussermin'.) They look like the kind of stuff you'd see on delivery vans rolling by.
