What do you think of the font colors? I used the green in "start" to depict "fresh" or "moldy" depending on how you look at it, and then the yellow/gold in "finish" to depict shiny like gold, or worth gold.

I dunno, the phrase fits too, it has double meanings depending on how you want to read it too. The line just popped in my head when I started working on this.

I'm certainly open to suggestions...this was pretty easy to bang out since it's mostly text. I can modify/warp the text a bit too, or use different fonts if someone wants to see something different.

Overall I like it. It is simplistic, yet stands out enough with the colors without being too busy.

OOOH, love it! I may have to get two of those for MY boat! That is sharp! Not to mention it looks pretty much like the photoshopped pic I did for you!

How hard was it to get that bad boy on straight? :eek:

As far as the powered by iboats sticker, how do you want the colors inverted? I can do that too.

So, you essentially want a red bumper sticker with white lettering? I tried to change things around, but it did a number on the "sail"...I ended up coloring it blue, and I didn't care for the way it looked. You don't want it to look like a bumper sticker on your boat, do you :rolleyes::cool:

NO NO No , lol its going on where the red already is on !!! that why the white, I was thinking that if I just trace the logo in a white line the do the lettering in soild white then that would look good and you would be able to read it good at a distance !!! the spot is where the old glasstron sticker was !!

Red, Go to this site http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ and you can upload an image, identify what letters are in it, and it automatically gives suggestions on what font it might be. If it turns out to be something off the wall you can usually google the font name and find a free version of it somewhere. It saved my butt once when I needed to create a logo based on the style of my companies logo.

How about making a new one in the shape of the old glastron sticker? We are getting into somewhat uncharted territory for me here, so it might take a bit to do. What you are wanting is individual letters/components so that you can arrange them on the boat so it looks custom instead of like a bumper sticker, correct?

Hay Chris

Yep thats my list I wou;d just add a few things !!

I would get a few more rollers, the two and 3 inch ones , get 4 or 5, make sure you get lots of buckets , think i got 20 and could have used a few more !!! also I just got another 5 yards, of the 10.5 oz e-glass . if your useing the foam you should be good !!!!

other then that cant really think of any thing , the 6.5 gal kit of epoxy should be good for yea !!! John

Thanks John, sticker looks excellent! Looks better than factory! Almost as if this boat is meant to sell Glastrons as a bilboard!

On the supplies, just so I am clear, you used the 10 oz on the transom and stringers and the twill on the deck? Is this right? Also, I agree that you should get the extra consumables, nothing like trying to reuse junk to save a buck. Thanks again.
