Default Helmet suggestions

Now that I am going to be back on 2 wheels, I'll need to pick up another helmet. I'll be on a cruiser now and I don't want to look like a complete goon but I will only wear a full face and my solid red Shoei will look like shit on the bike. I want something black, possibly matte black with maybe a few hi gloss black graphics. Anyone seen anything like this? Shoe fits my head shape well and so does Suomy. AGV does not fit my head shape. Should I just buy a black matte helmet and add my own graphics?

Simpson. The downside is they produce hellacious wind noise.

If you can find a black one around, they can be had stupid cheap.
