Welcome To The Catican Bayou!

We love to throw parties and I love to cook Cajun, Creole, Southern and Caribbean food. During my Dixie Adventure a few months back, I noticed all the signs for the different bayous and decided I needed to name our house the Catican Bayou, at least for parties. I'm going to have a wooden sign made for it that I can hang up whenever we have a bash. I've been playing around with Adobe Illustrator and I've come up with a design I like.


What do you think?

Update: Yankee though he is, Ohioan at Heart made a good suggestion. He said "The Catican Bayou" just doesn't sound right. Dropping the definite article might be better. When I was researching these signs, I noticed that almost none of them had a "Welcome" portion. With that in mind, here's a second, simpler version that might be better.

    I think it looks good. The crayfish is a nice touch.

    Awesome.

    Should you drop "the"? Somehow it sounds more southern to me (like an Ohioan would know) as just "Welcome to Catican Bayou".

    Ohioan, I've tried it both ways and am torn. The exact title of the place is "The Catican" or "The Catican Compound." Doesn't that make the modifier of the noun, bayou, "The Catican?"

    Actually, if you peruse bayou signs on Google image search, most places don't have the "Welcome" portion. Bayou signs
