I NEED YOUR ADVICE - James Bond Project/Goals Worksheet

Good day fellow agents!

I am on a mission to make a James Bond themed 'project worksheet' to use for personal projects, work, heck whatever. I slapped together a 'rough draft' of sorts but would love your input on what I could add to make this better.

I've got WAY to many things on my plate at all times and that's the way I like it. I have daily and monthly lists of 'to-do' items and I end up writing project goals out one way or another anyway. This is something I've had on my mind (and I'm sure on a list somewhere) for a LONG TIME and I'm finally making it happen. This is something I want to use for everything from work projects (EX: putting together an event with keynote speakers, planning a fundraiser), to home projects (EX: starting a company, throwing a party, building something), or really anything else!

What should I add to make it 'more Bond'? What graphics should I add? Are there similar documents elsewhere? I've seen the Mission Planner from BONDLIFE ( bondlife.com/mission-planner ) but that is a little to travel based for a true project planner.

Once it is all finished I'll post a link so you can print and use it too! Thank you for your input!

    For starters change the mission name ,'Sooty Petrol' wont work with a Bond project,MI6 wouldnt use that for a mission codename.

    The Mission Title "Sotty Petrol" has NOTHING to do with the worksheet as a whole. That is junk and I know that. It's fine. It's not about what I wrote in pen to fill out AS AN EXAMPLE it's is about the worksheet.

    You have a spelling error: "Equiptment" should be "Equipment". Otherwise, it looks top. 5 stars to you.

    I'm thinking of making the MI6 logo much bigger, more transparent, and setting it in the middle of the page, moving the classified to the bottom (undecided about the top). What other graphics might work well? Any other fun row ideas?

    Version 2! I This is a little more what I had in mind. What do you guys think? Anything I should add? Any JB graphics I should add? Maybe a small JB gun barrel somewhere?

    Good work, @BMWTREKPSE. Interesting project. I like your idea. My two cents:

    - Overall, I prefer your second version.
    - The 007 logo, gunbarrel and silhouette make it look too gimmicky. Without them, like in your second version, it looks much more realistic and serious.
    - Perhaps the "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp would be less distracting if it was grey instead of red, like in your first version? Especially the top one that falls inside the document's main body. The bottom one might be better in red.
    - How about replacing the "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp at the bottom with "EYES ONLY"?
    - And maybe make the bottom stamp sideways, it might look more like an actual stamp if it isn't straight.
    - How about a "Location" field? Perhaps on the right hand side of the "MISSION" row?
    - BTW, how about changing "MISSION" to "OPERATION"? A la Operation Thunderball, Operation Bedlam, etc. Sounds better I think.
    - I think maybe the MI6 logo should be a bit more transparent to make the handwritten text easier to read. Not really sure about this one though, since I haven't actually seen any writing on it.

    Hope that's helpful. Keep up the good work.

    I've just looked on the MI6 website. It features the real logo if its any help:

    I think it'd be interesting to add a section entitled "Foreseeable dangers" or "Foreseeable threats" to the endangerment of your project success that you can brainstorm and work around ahead of time.

    Other than that I don't have much to add.

    If you remove either the "Classified" label at the top or bottom of this page here, I think this layout would be the best, design wise:

    "Military" has only one 'L.' You might also consider lightening the grade of the logo so as to not distract from what you've written in that space, but I guess that depends on how dark or light it looks when you print it out.
