hahaa, that makes him seem to secret societish and/or devil worshiperish. I'm not sure what starbai means, but I get a sense of little mermaid in there. If Starbai could divulge the secret behind its' significance, a thematic design could be accrued more easily.

Negative... not feelin any of those. It looks like you went through some 5000 font CD from the 90's and came up with those.

If you are going to go this route get an actual logo designed instead of just some font.

Edit... on second thought... get your picture engraved on it lol...
i basically did go through fonts online... i'm no logo designer, nor would I know how to get one designed.

if anyone on s2ki wanna lend a design hand i'm open to suggestions!

As has been suggested above, give us some info on the idea or theme behind it. I'll gladly draw up some stuff ...
Is it engraved grooved or blasted? ie how intricate can it get? If it's grooved the design has to be reasonably simple ...

I've always wanted one like this, to confuse the heck out of people. "yeah, 9th gear is pretty far ... getting to reverse is complicated too."

I like this design A LOT better than any of the others, though it does have a feminine feel to it.

Starbai, don't worry about paying more to have Rick's knob manufacturer color it. Everyone will tell you to use nail polish. It is surprisingly durable. Just fill in all the gaps with your color of choice, wait for it to dry, then use a cotton swap with nail polish remover to gently rub off the excess. It'll turn out great. If you want a glossy look, just over it with clear nail polish after.
