algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Respraying my old GT Transeo 1.0 bike at the moment. This is the decal design I settled on for the time being. The font is based on Ayosmonika which has some lovely ligatures out of the box, to which I added a few. Grasshopper was used to parse a 100,000+ English word database to find all the words which had a large ligature/symbol ratio. From this I selected two that seemed to work well together.

Where's a "before" pic of the bike?

"W" almost seems like it want to join up with Ay...

I see, thank you.
The "open d" is playing tricks with either my eyes or brain, because I keep reading
"Waysicle Heyclay". But the curves sure look slick :)

Well I found hundreds of words with potential (octopodes, navigate, mayhem, dewdrop, avantgarde, ...) but I wanted something non-typical, not utterly non-sensical, and linguistically interesting.

The file isn't shockingly advanced:

Nice looking result David, it would be interesting to see the definition you created for this. Did I understand correctly that the words are pretty much random, it just needed to look good?
