 |
|
About 6-8 months ago someone posted a website where stick-on boat lettering could be set up and ordered. I had saved the website or so I thought but now I can't find it. It was a nifty site that allowed the choosing of many styles, fonts, colors and overlays. Does anyone have an idea of which site that might have been?
Thanks,
Chuck |

The site was probably http://www.speedysigns.com/. I used it for the first TyBoo and was very impressed with everything about it. However, when I went through them for the second TyBoo lettering, I found that they had changed a bit. The service was still good, but the choices provided on the website were not as good as before. They had fewer font selections and fewer colors. Me being a little colorblind, I fouled up and got too-light a shade of green to go on the boat. It was the darkest they had, though. I think I will take the boat to a local outfit and show them what color it is so they can make me some new stickers.

There are a few of them out there, but I used SpeedySigns for Da Nag's lettering - both the name, and the registration. They have an online lettering design tool.
They offer two grades of vinyl; I went with the Premium Grade, it seemed very durable. Quick service, and price was reasonable.

I noticed this as well, when I went back to get new Da Nag lettering - the goofy font I chose before was no longer listed.
However, a quick email to them, and they looked up my previous order. They still have the font, and can duplicate my original order - it's just not on the web site for some reason. They even emailed me a sample of what it would look like, along with the dimensions. My guess is, they can probably handle anything you throw at them; if you don't like one of the fonts in their online design tool, pick one of your own and ask if they can use it.
There are a bazillion free fonts on the web - Google is your friend. |

I am going to check out the speedy site youz guyz are talking about for the Denbola. I found another site as well that has the online try-it-out function, it's at www.overtons.com On the home page at the top of the navigation bar it's listed as new.

Hey Roger..... thanks for posting the link to my web site! 
And yes.... I can do just about anything those professional vinyl sites can do. Colors may be a little limited but you can let me know what you're looking for. As far as fonts......... I'm a fontaholic!! I have LOTS of fonts and if I don't have it, I'll find it!  I can do all the text affects etc. Also, I can e-mail proofs and changes untill your satisfied. I love to design! You can e-mail me for more info: ruth@graphicsbyruth.com
I look forward to hearing from any of you! Thanks!
