Title: Vinyl lettering
Post by: Rhojo on October 19, 2012, 03:49:22 PM
I know we have lots of information already posted on this type of question but I couldn't find anything specific to my '79 hull font and size.

After the reunion last weekend the Admiral has pointed out that we really need to replace our Aquasport logo. At the same time I'd like to go ahead and get the name on the hull. My logo is the identical font as the CAS logo at the top of this and every page. Does anybody know what that font is? Custom or standard? Do we already have a vendor making these?

I've seen the hard badges and they look great, even Gran's SS badge is super but I think I should stay true to our hull and keep it a vinyl sticker (although, I could probably be talked out of that).

There is no standard font for the classic Aquasport logo.   I can cut you a set out but I'm way to busy to do it anytime soon.

Excellent!

Kraw, great link, that's $12.50 per each. Nice size too.

Are you happy with the quality, UV resistance, colorfastness, etc.?

If so,  I'll post this to the Vendor forum.

They did mine also. It was the same size and font as my 85CCP. My 91 factory decal was slightly larger and a slight variance in the font. I. still went with the 85 and kept it blue rather than silver. Vinyl quality is excellent.

After many e-mails and phone calls about what we wanted, the fonts, sizes and color Skoot came through with flying colors!
The new vinyls look absolutely fantastic, we couldn't be happier! Unfortunately, I didn't get any of them on the boat before it got too cold here so I'm waiting on the next good warm day. We will be doing a naming ceremony at some point so the name can't go on the boat until then. I do have two logos and our registration numbers to get on first!

Skoot did an awesome job, it was fast and painless once we new what we wanted! Thanks so much Scoot!
If you're looking for new lettering or graphics Skoot is your man!

We named our boat Lillypad after one of our cats. We took in a stray female kitty that befriended my mother and named her Lilly. We often escape the rat race of the real world when we are on our boat, much the same way a frog or dragon fly may take a rest on a lilly pad.

Notice Skoot's graphic of the outlline of the lilly pad, just perfect!

Hey Jon, Im glad your happy with them.  I cant wait to see them installed on your rig.  Did you happen to pull the covering off to see if the Royal Blue we chose was good match for your existing boot stripe?  

CTsalt12 or anybody, Feel free to pm me and I'll hook your and any Classic Aquasport member up with a good deal! :cheers:  :cheers:

Get those installed Jon, Im excited!!!

Skoot, can you add the " hook"?  Yes they are gold metallic. The 222 does not have the dash either.

The boat is uncovered now, we were working on the teak gunnel caps over the weekend. The blue is a perfect match! As much as I can tell with the paper backing still on. It looks like you nailed the color!

60 degrees here today, just a bit warmer and I'm attacking the old vinyls! It won't be long!

Hey lew!  Yea, I can do that.  I will have to manually draw in the hook, but no worries, just a bit more time. All I need is the the final length of the logo and the height of the Hook and we'll be good.  Also, if I may suggest making the 22-2 a bit larger (ex. starting about mid line of the P and ending at the T)

I have 3, potentially 4 job interviews lined up this week so Im gonna be a little busy the next few days, but I'll get with later in the week about the gold metallic Vinyl.  

Thanks Bro

It says these are Australia Edition decals. What is world does that mean and how did my boat wind up with Australia edition motors or cowls or cowl decals? Anyone know any history on this?

I'm thinking i'm going to go back with the orig. decals. At first I just wanted white cowls with a newer Johnson decal but the more I think about it I don't like that idea.

Opinions?
