seacraft logos...
 

getting a fresh coat of paint, and im missing the SeaCraft insignia on starboard side. i figure nows as good a time as any to put one on, not sure where to find one. any ideas? closest current dealer is in savannah GA which is relatively (3 hrs) away from me but id rather order online and save gas. i know this is strictly aesthetics but still, symmetry on a boat is a good thing. thanks.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Most local sign shops can recreate any logo you want. Give them a try.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Search ebay, there are several available online. I purchased a couple. Or buy the nice SS models from Carla at moeslyseacraft.com.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

thanks guys, moesly ones sure are pretty but id feel like its cheating, its an 86 hull(last yr before tracker)...

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Any sign shop can make them, but......they are not exactly the same. Search the word decal on here and you will find the most recent discussion where I post a copy of mine and give the info to call my sign shop who charges $35 total for both side's logo and name. It is good to use CSC's resources to make up your mind on who to use.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

thanks, i will do that. was not impressed w/ ebays selection anyhow.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

I can make you a pair...

224466-My logo from the May posting disappeared?? Here it is again....

I have a microsoft word document with the logo on it. My sign guy actually tweaked the color and spacing for me. I got it from a fellow member, and it should be available to anyone who wants it.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

that would be great. could you send it to me in an email maybe? email is (j.n.enterprise@hotmail.com). i would much appreciate it. im trying to get some pics of the new (old)boat up but my skills at uploading pictures is pretty subpar. thanks again.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

The typestyle is TOTALLY incorrect !
See my avatar for one I digitized in 1990...

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Gotta love the passion.......I am right there with you brother.....I see what you mean. There are differences for sure. To each, his own.....

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Email sent

Re: seacraft logos...
 

I'd be happy to make up a few dozen pair of logos if anyone is interested... just PM me your mailing addresses...

Re: seacraft logos...
 

It's called typeface. With your level of enthusiasm, at least get the terminology correct ;)

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Technically, it's a font... that has been tweaked - but...
it's either right or wrong, which way do you see it, Mark?

Re: seacraft logos...
 

I bought some messed up font, typefaced, incorrect, terribly bad seacraft stickers off ebay that I kind of like. They were the cheap ones, 20 bucks. I also bought some SS from Carla that are really great and I would put on any Seacraft.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Forgot to mention, a Seacraft member referred me to the site. So beware!!!!

Re: seacraft logos...
 

I've always been curious as to what font it is. If i knew, I'd change my business letterhead ;)

Re: seacraft logos...
 

In MS Word it's Gourmand, fwiw

Re: seacraft logos...
 

The reason I asked again is Gourmand is not listed in any of the font choices on the programs I used to create my letterhead and business logo. Sorry i didn't major literature; I'm just a stupid concrete guy. thanks for the info.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

You should be able to do a google search on free fonts..find the one you want and download it.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Looks like Garamond to me...

Re: seacraft logos...
 

The top one is garamond and the bottom one is georgia. If you go to signsbyyou.com, you can play around with the fonts.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Here's the typeface as a logo...
I've done some homework and my terminology was aground...
(Mark - I'm sorry, you're correct - my bust - not a typestyle or a font) I can cut them literally in seconds on my plotter in about any color. No charge for the logos, just pay a few bucks for shipping and I will be happy to
make them for any member and send them wherever...

Re: seacraft logos...
 

That would be really cool!! My truck window could use one!

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Let me know what size(s), color and quantity !

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Danny and SeaCraft Savage are BOTH right regarding the fonts used in the logo! Here's two photos of original logos that show some subtle changes made from the early to late 70's:
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...1_76_005-2.jpg
http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...25-08004-1.jpg
First photo is original "signboard" that was on my 1972 Seafari when I bought it in 1975; pictures of a couple of models in brochures dated 1972 also show these signboards. Font appears similar to Danny's file, so I'd say it's the technically correct one for 70-72 models, while the later font is appropriate for 73 and later models. (69 & earlier Moesly era boats used the metal script emblems that are available from www.moeslyseacraft.com) Yet the name on the front of the 1972 brochures is the later font! Maybe Potter actually made the change in '72 but was just using up leftover signboards!

Those plastic boards subsequently disintegrated (the letters fell off!); I replaced them with decals I bought from SeaCraft sometime in 1977-79, shown in second photo. Biggest difference appears to be in the shape of the "r" & "t", which are squared off on the earlier font and slanted on the later one; earlier font also had vertical bars on the S & C that were slightly different on later font.

A review of my collection of old brochures also shows a few other changes over time. The photos in 1973 catalog show only the SeaCraft name without the black/blue "S" that shows up in 1974 and later brochures, so 1973 must have been a transition year. Also noticed that the lower half of the S symbol was blue on the brochure photos and in Danny's file, while it's clearly reversed on the one I bought from SeaCraft; were obviously made both ways! I also noticed that the decals on the dark colored hulls have black letters outlined in white or gold, while the white hulls have black letters only. I guess the bottom line regarding such trivia is that there is often more than one "correct" configuration! Just like on vintage Detroit muscle cars, "Specifications were subject to change without notice"!

I need 5 if I can Savage. call me:804-347-2353

Re: seacraft logos...
 

I'll do it...

Re: seacraft logos...
 

I noticed the same in my research, but figured that the S logo was just applied differently (upside down). It seems that most of the "official" documentation that I've seen had the black at the top.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

some of yall have seen this before before but heres a foto of an original "racing jacket", that my brother copped from me when the old local seacraft d4ealer passed and they were going through his belongings. i dont know what year these were available though. still got the tag on it though !

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Hi,
Just finished restoring my '77 SF and am looking for 2 SeaCraft decals that are located forward of bilge vents. Not sure of the size. Looks to be 3"- 4" inches in height. Yours is the nicest I've seen. Let me know and I'll send you a check to cover costs.

Thanks,

Phil

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Savage, Check your PM...

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Denny, my '72 Seafari still has the remnants of the original SeaCraft decal, and it DOES have the stylized "S". Go figure.

Re: seacraft logos...
 

That's what was originally on our 25...With the white outline.
Does anybody have these in stock?
Please advise.
Brandon

Re: seacraft logos...
 

Gillie, check yours
