Posted - 06/11/2019 : 14:57:10 Many years ago a member was selling a replacement raised plastic logo here but he seems to have moved on. I have since kicked and broken mine getting in and out of the boat. There is a sign shop near me that can make stick on vinyl graphics and I think that is the way to go. Nothing to break. I am just trying to find a clean logo to scan and size for them to work from. Does anyone have a link or a file of it? Thanks.

Posted - 10/04/2019 : 00:36:17 In the past, I've created an vector format of the modern logo type.
Posted - 09/27/2019 : 19:22:11 I stumbled on this photo tonight. I know we haven't talked about this since the beginning of the summer, but maybe this photo will do someone some good.
As I recall, the bottom logo was made from a tracing of the C-25 logo on a boat, and the top version is how it looked after the vinyl shop cleaned it up a bit ...

But, hey; could you make that into 'Catalina 29'? Just in case I want to impress someone...

Posted - 06/25/2019 : 06:32:11 If you want to save some time, feel free to shamelessly plagiarize the JPEG that I developed. You can download it from this site , or I can send you the original file in native format. I can also send you a copy of my order to DIY Lettering.
As always, my free advice comes with a double your money back guarantee.

Nice Steven. I will be working on mine for awhile. I like the "Catalina" Buzz sent me but on close inspection it is pretty rough.
Will probably draw over it to get the rough edges out and am still not satisfied I have found the right "25". But seeing yours I am more convinced a vinyl stick on is the right way to go.

Posted - 06/24/2019 : 21:02:20 SKS and TCurran both have the same 25 font thats the original on Passage. My starboard side logo is largely gone except for the 25, and the port side is largely intact except for the underline following the final a. So they have the original fonts as shown. John, the actual plastic molding also was pretty rough. If you clean it up it will look more aesthetically pleasing however it will not reflect the original product. Not passing judgment just letting you know.

Just ordered two vinyl decals. Cutouts of the letters only. About $25 for both.

What photo sharing app or web sites is everyone using?
I use the Association photo storing in the member area. I'll try and get a pic with a wider angle to show more of the boat.

Posted - 06/17/2019 : 14:00:30 Got rid of the big photo so the thread might be easier to read. This is all looking good. I didn't realize how far from the "Catalina" the "25" was. Photo of the real "25" might help. More than glad to share once I've got together. Unfortunately bunch of rain coming in then jury duty so not sure when I can get back out. What photo sharing app or web sites is everyone using?

For vinyl transfer graphics, I've found CarStickers.com to be excellent.

Posted - 06/15/2019 : 04:44:15 John, will this do?
Voyager
Posted - 06/14/2019 : 22:38:48 Yeah, sorry for the snide remark. I did get my microscope out to read the comments. Meanwhile I have an original plastic 25 on Passage. Not sure when the Catalina vanished. I can take a high res close up photo and put it out on my photo sharing app. I also used to have a 1964 Pontiac Catalina with a dual four barrel carburetor and a 442 cu in engine. You can still find high resolution photos of that logo. I like the old school look of that thing.
Posted - 06/14/2019 : 17:03:24 John - after you get the whole thing scanned, could you make that available on this site? My logos, and I'm guessing many of our members' logos, are in bad shape. I think Catalina Direct has a logo for sale, but I never considered it because it's not the original script. Thanks.

John, I believe he is poking fun at the large photo now has made the print on this topic microscopic.
Oh. Sorry the picture is so big but it was the only one I found of the original script.

I have the 25 from my 89. I saw it in a drawer on the boat on Tuesday. If needed I could hold it up next the word Catalina which is still attached to the boat along with a ruler if that is any help.
I also "might" still have the whole plastic logo on the other side of the boat. I can check on both next time I go down to the boat.
That's great. Just a photo of either or both would help. I could photoshop it in.
