Graphics Help On "C-Byrd"

I am not sure what you mean exactly but i will give you some recent experience. I just put the name and port on my boat "C" esta. I ordered a printed transfer on line (several differnt suppliers out there). I placed mine on the starboard transom with 'C' esta as a raised arch, in dark blue, with shadow, then Port Angeles, Wa. in a "sine" wave underneath. Turned out real fine. The transfers came on two sheets. Clean the area you will mount the transfers with alcohol or any grease removing solvent, even if the boat is brand new. You take off the backing of the transfer, spray on a wet coating of soap and water to both the transfer and boat, place the graqphic and carefully squeege all bubles and creases out. Do this several times in mutilple directions to ensure all water is squeezed out. Let it dry for an hour or so then pull off the upper backing of the transfer. Pretty easy. Whoever makes these for you will send comprehensive instructions, and you can design your graphic on line.

Hope this helps.
Ken, 'C' esta

I think it looks nice and will look good on the 18. I myself would never use the Large C as part of the boat name. it is just my thinking on the subject and I don't like the use of it.
 
Thank you Rogerbum and Joe.

Roger (sensei) why is it that you don't like a larger C in the boat name. I think it looks neat and complements the C-Dory name on the side of the boat.
 
OK, you asked ,and I don't really know why, except, I feel it detracts from the C-Dory Logo and in my mind, is sort of unimaginative
 
OK, you asked

Now don't you all pile on ole Roger....it's best never to ask a question that the answer might offend you...I for one, don't prefer the C..thingy either but I think everyone should name the the ole girl anything that "Floats their boat". I always thought the factory just named the boat with the big "C" to save on letters in the logo...and money to boot.
 
Hey Gang... Now yall be sure and leave my little buddy Roger in peace. He and I have a whole lot in common...one of which is we pretty much tell each other how we feel about things...pretty much the way we think them. Roger is on track a bit about taking away from the C-Dory logo. You will notice I think a lot of that logo...and had the factory send me a new set... and that is the only thing on the boat now... no other markings, decals, license, registration numbers....yada yada... in fact... no handles on the boat at all yet either...But,.. my C-Dory loyalty shows in that I did not want my boat "out doors" without the proper factory markings. Following Rogers thought is for sure what got me looking at moving the C-Byrd logo down and back to the aft section of the wider than usual on an 18 Angler black strip. If I put this up next to or on the raised area of the forward deck... it sort of does crash with the factory logo. Hence...my request (AND THANKS FOR THE COLOR FLIP FLOP JOB!! Target On!!) to switch out the colors.... and play with putting it larger...and lower on the strip.

Now I can play with this with paper mock ups while the boat is in the water. This boat looks real differant IN the water rather than ON the trailer...even if I am having a new little custom trailer put together for her.

I will try a power point thingy and post it... I am not real good with photo shop....and I know it is a snap...IF YA KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING... and I can only take up so much of my nieces time....

Thanks for all the feedback. This is fun bringing this hull back to life.
