Along with your free text engraving, you can add the following cool options:
1. LIGHTSTORM™ DEEP ENGRAVING. This is a beautiful, deep engraving with a patterned background and a frame. It's a unique, incredibly impressive style of engraving perfect for gifts, awards or important mementos. The primary text in LIGHTSTORM™ custom text should be fairly short. For thicker swords, you can sometimes get two lines of text deep engraved inside the frame. But it's usually best to put one line of text in the frame (max 40-50 characters). If you need more text, many of our items allow for an additional line above or below the frame, in standard text.
2. POMMEL GRAPHIC: We'll grind off the Lion Graphic on the Pommel and replace it with one of our Sigil graphics or your own custom graphic. Replacing with one of our Sigil graphics is $70, replacing with a custom graphic is $98. If you select either the Sigil Pommel or Custom Pommel variation we will contact you with a link for the additional cost.
3. SIGIL IMAGES. We'll engrave one of our sigil graphics onto most of our items. See the product images for our sigil graphic choices. Pick one, then select a "sigil" variation when choosing the product style you want. Tell us which sigil you want in the personalization box.
4. CUSTOM BLADE GRAPHICS: Yup. We'll engrave your image, logo, symbol, fingerprint, dental x-rays--pretty much whatever you want as long as it isn't horrifically offensive, illegal, or risks our business to engrave it.
5. CUSTOM POMMEL GRAPHIC: Want a different graphic on the pommel? No problem! Select the custom pommel option and pick either our sigil graphic or a custom graphic chosen by you.
About LIGHTSTORM™ Deep Engraving:
Mantra Immortal uses high-powered lasers to burn away the metal around your text. Yeah, lasers! I know right? We're talking Han Solo type stuff. Except Han can't engrave text on a sword blade, can he? Our lasers also create intricate patterns around the text, adding depth, elegance and stimulating contrast. The result? Gorgeous engravings that make any gift look like an heirloom. We don't know of anyone else customizing their products in this fashion. LIGHTSTORM™ comes with a free frame around your text.
ENGRAVING TIPS**********************************
STANDARD ENGRAVING:
WIth this method, the engraving is etched into the metal, then finished with a blackening process for maximum contrast. Looks great and doesn?ÇÖt cost much.
LIGHTSTORM?äó DEEP ENGRAVING:
This is an exclusive Mantra Immortal technique that turns metal into art! The text or image is raised, with an engraved pattern background, all set within a frame. If you select this style (lucky you!) then we suggest placing the most important words in the frame (maximum of seven or eight words, really) and adding the remainder of the text along the bottom or top (or both) in standard engraving.
GENERAL ENGRAVING TIPS:
1. If you have a lot of text, try to choose a font that isn?ÇÖt too fancy. Fancier fonts are great for titles or short engravings, but they can be hard to read in bulk. Ever try to read four lines of text in ?ǣSeason of the Witch??ǥ It?ÇÖs what aneurysms are made of.
2. If you?ÇÖre using a fancier font, for the love of all that is holy, please don?ÇÖt capitalize every letter! Old English is a lovely font, but it looks awful in all caps. Seriously. We have actual nightmares of all-capital Old English chasing us around a haunted house with Comic Sans cheering it on.
3. If you?ÇÖre using more than one font, take a good look at them to make sure they will look okay together. You can specify to us that you would like one line bold and another not bold, or make one line bigger than the other. That?ÇÖs often a more efficient way to create contrast in your engraving.
4. Remember, the more text you have, the smaller that text has to be. Not that there?ÇÖs anything wrong with small text, but if you want text that is readable from a distance, try to limit the length of your engraving.
5. Not sure how to set up your engraving? No worries! Just give us your text, pick a font if you want, and tell us to have at it! We?ÇÖll use our thirty years of graphic design experience to create the most aesthetically pleasing engraving possible.
