Logo Design Brief
This is the name of my boat "All Rod, No Reel". I’m looking for a humorous, tongue-in-cheek logo design—something with a playful vibe. Think “Johnson Surfboards” meets boating. Be sure to include the boat in the logo—a center console fishing rig with five outboard monster sized motors hanging off the back. Go big on the motors—they should look hilariously over-the-top. The kind of setup that screams, “compensating… and proud of it.” I'll be using this logo for t-shirts as well
See attached pic. This is example of what Cap'n Big Lou should look like. This is just a sample pic for use for basis. Use the capn crunch font for Cap'n Big Lou. See attached example

Designs look the same
The fishing rod that Cap’n Big Lou is holding should be comically oversized — tying directly into the boat’s name, “All Rod, No Reel”, and the tagline, “Stiffer, Longer, Stronger.” The humor is tongue-in-cheek, with the rod serving as a playful innuendo. The overall image should flow naturally with both the boat name and the tagline, ensuring the visual joke lands immediately.

Requirements
Must have
- Include the boat itself "All Rod No Reel" — a center console fishing boat with five massive outboard motors. Make the motors comically large; they should steal some attention. Feature a character named Cap’n Big Lou on the boat, proudly holding an oversized fishing rod — the bigger, the better. The whole vibe should be playful, bold, and humor-forward. Think Johnson Surfboards meets offshore horsepower insanity. A wink-and-nod kind of design — not crude, just confidently ridiculous.
Nice to have
- Small italian flag somewhere in the image
