This is just a very rough draft and nothing close to being finished, but is this what you mean by nautical themes?

I've completed 30 compass roses. Now I have to begin working on the scale bars. I appreciate the input on every thing so far. I won't be doing black and white designs for now but have tried to vary the designs so that there might be something for everyone. I'll also fix that one scale bar that is obviously confusing because of the texture I used for it.

I have 3 done so far. Opinions and input welcome.

Tuxedo cats (Artemis Clyde Cat and Pixie) say "What?"

This is more of concept piece for a scalebar for this specific compass rose, but hopefully gives you and idea of what I'll be trying to do. I'm not crazy about the placement of the roses, but don't hate it either. Input is welcome because it will guide me for other styles.
