Can I get some feedback?

I'm ditching the top stripes on the Aqua Mania for my 32 inch cat. I wanted to try a different design. Is this looking cool or lame? Doing a checkered design on the canopy that will get progressively smaller. Want to get some input before I keep going...

Looks ok bud but then you have all that black,, maybe you should do the checkerd thing all the way,, from the nose to the tail..

My 2cents is try white and black squares and possibly all the black as Jerry stated. Progress from big to small squares or reverse if you like.?
