RE: [Paddlewise] Logo for PaddleWise

JPEGs do not scale well; it would have to be a large image to print well on,
say, a T-shirt or even a large button. I favor creating the image in a
vector drawing program, and then making it available in several formats
(unfortunately, there is no standard vector format). 

The ideas I have seen here pretty much parallel what I came up with after
mulling it over Tuesday. I would have an owl clutching a paddle in its
talons. The owl would be feathered; the paddle would be unfeathered (to show
its shape better). To show it is a wise owl, it would be wearing a PFD. I
would put a yellow disk outlined in black behind the owl (not surrounding
it), but the disk could be optional; for instance, it could be eliminated if
the logo is placed on a yellow button or kayak. Also, I favor keeping the
image as simple as possible without going to a silhouette. 

I won't be able to draw my version till next month at the earliest. I think
the final version might look best if drawn by a professional artist. We have
at least one on this list who might volunteer, but he is in Italy this week,
and doubtless has missed this entire discussion.

Has anyone used those iron-on transfer things you can print out on a bubble
jet printer?

If they work as advertised the logo could be put on the website as a jpeg
and anyone could copy and print it and resize to fit whatever garment it was
ironed onto.
