I wanted to update the decals on my N500 and went to a sign shop with a pic and dimensions. He said he needed something called a vector, think that was what it was called, to make them. If you find someone to make them I'd love to get a set myself.

He wants you to supply him with a vectored image file, If you found a picture online of the logo, there are companies you can e-mail the image too and will vector it for you. Sounds like the guy was being lazy as most sign shops do that all the time. If you can find a .jpeg or such of the logo, I can have it sent off. My Grandfathers company does this everyday with logos for basket ball floors.

If you want just text, they will probably have a comparable font on the computers in the sign shop. They have thousands of different ones.

Did you try shooting Mike an e-mail?

I have had this image vectored, if anyone wants it shoot me an e-mail.

Working on it, anyone have the actual size on a F18? width x height ?? 🙂

If your referring to the logo that bacho posted, I have it but can't get to the boat till morning. If fact I think I have some of the logos not attached.

they are not for sale.

in case anyone cares what "vector" graphics are:
there are 2 types of graphics, vector and bitmap.

A picture (camera, scanner) is a bitmap image with pixels. Keep enlarging it and it gets... pixelated. make it to big and it looks terrible, even indistinguishable

Vector art is math. you draw a line in a computer and bend it, and color it and so on. then the software draws (or prints it). Since it doesn't pixalate... it can be any size... like a bus wrap, building wrap, etc.

Most quality printers require vector art for scalable designs (logo's, etc) and they aren't being "lazy" when/if they "can" change it from a picture to a vector layout.. it takes equipment (PC/software) and employees (artist) and time (money) for them to re-draw peoples pictures.... into printable vector shapes and colors.

They usually can refer you to someone, or do it inhouse, at a fee.

Yes, just want the actual measurements of BLUE decals, I am going to leave the "sports and fun catamarans" off. I have been trolling through many Vinyl custom websites, I am pretty sure I can match the font and shadow up pretty darn close. At least close enough to make me happy. I will also probably order some additional zig zag like graphics same colors to give my boat a newer look, kind of like the picture on NACRA's website of a boat at 2008 Paris boat show.

Thanks

Will

I never said it should be free, but his shop should have offered to have it done or told him how to get one. Its cheap even if you have to pay for it $10-15.

My production artists start at $25/hr and go up to $65

UPDATE 😛

I got a response from the Netherlands, basically I can get a set for around 67.00 EURO mailed here.About $90 not including conversion charge. I think I am going to go this direction, I really like to replace with Original from Mfg parts when possible. I will keep everyone updated on how it goes. 😎

Height overall 4.625 inches ( 11.7475 cm) (includes the black shadow border)
Shadow border 0.4375 inches (1.11125 cm)
The length you will get when scaled.

Hum. Maybe I'll reconsider . . .

Thanks, if I reconsider I will utilize these measurements. But for a C note or less I will have that Chiit mailed from the Netherlands. I never expect anything for free, just name a price, if it is worth it to me I buy it if not all good. I actually may order two sets, the damn shipping is 1/3 the cost.

But seriously a big "thank you" for the measuring the decal for me 😉
