Vinyl lettering
« 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!
