I say the white one. The blue with blue knobs is too much of the same thing.

I'd go with the white one.

I'd have the main text straight, not on an angle too, but that's just me (I'm a sucker for symmetry).

My thoughts exactly. However, if your enclosure is white, and you can get some white knobs, the other one would be killer as well.

Yes, the enclosure has already a white primer! Actually the knobs is black with the blue face.
not exactly as in the draw :P, sorry
what i like in the blue version, is that the letters in white show up quite nice. Maybe i should put the "big Muff" also in white with black borders...hmmmm

Yeah, that looks better in person than it did in the mockup. Cool retro vibe.

I'm probably too late for my opinion to matter but what I might do is take the color of the blue knobs and add polka dots in that color to the decal so the knobs are camouflaged by the dots.

Well, now that I look at it, I'm not sure.  Maybe.
