I am making an -30mmHg to 30psi gauge dial and there is a space issue on one part of the dial.

So the question is this... if I left out the 'psi' do you think the typical user would care?

I don't want to assume everyone that puts in a boost gauges knows that the positive range is psi but does do you think the indicator needs to be there?

Well which one of these do you guys think looks best?

Ignore any differences in dial size you see in the images as they are supposed to be all the same.




Or how about E

 

i like C the best i would buy that design. can you hook me up with one b/c i helped you choose the design?

 

put the psi next to the 0 then go with design D

 

I vote for Guage "C".

 

Added Jeff's design which I thought looked nice and clean

I am hearing what you people have to say but the reason I am making revisions to the dial with the logo off to one corner is for this reason: I didn't want to have anything interrupting the sweep of the needle. The logo is backlit at night so I thought having a solid black background makes the needle movement easier to read.

 

C all the way, most clean imho

 

E deffinetly.

 

definitely go with design "C", IMO it looks the cleanest by far!

 

C, by far the cleanest look.

 

i definantly thought c but then your reason makes alot of sense so i choose e. i spose it would depend on how bright it was.
