Ralph- I really like your button idea!! Especially since some of us wouldn't be caught dead wearing a baseball cap regardless of how cool the logo, and a t-shirt can't be seen beneath a PFD.

The rescued Westie was named Hallie. Also, I understand that the bride was to be given away by one of the Westies but the two fought over who would do the honors so a human was picked instead. I don't know if the Westies were invited along for the honeymoon. ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .

Hi All! Couple of good ideas re. a paddlewise logo; I particularly like the bird in the 'yak. Please remember tho, we aren't all kayakers! In that light, then, here is another 1st take for your consideration. Pardon the poor Q; it's only about 15KB. I slapped it together in haste using itty bitty icons "borrowed" from various web-sites . . . If anyone is interested, I'll do a higher res. version.

I kind of like the yellow with the owl - it's sharp, visible from a distance, and does seem patch-like - reminds me of going to camp and collecting patches to sew on my scarf.

There has been some confusion regarding logos. Mostly, there has been some concern regarding copyright and use issues which have yet to be worked out. My main concern is that a logo be made available to the PaddleWise folks here with a "clear title" :-). Right now, the logo is being placed on the back burner but will hopefully materialize by the time there will be some use for it. I would like to ask that any comments about this be conducted off the list so we can keep the lines open for discussion on "paddling" issues :-) My apologies to the list for any confusion.

Bob Please hold off doing that with my design [blue background/gold Paddlewise lettering]. The paddle is being used ONLY as an example.

So maybe I can elucidate a bit - the thought was spurred by two considerations: 1. If the file is in a vector graphic format it can be resized infinitely without any image distortion. If it is in a raster format resizing will cause image distortion. If the image can easily be manipulated then it could easily be adapted to use on a variety of items or mediums. (For more info on graphic formats a good intro can be found at: http://www.digitalid.com/vectorVSraster.html ) 2. The key to the whole thought is that if the image were made freely available as a download on the PaddleWise web site then it would be up to each member to find a graphics shop, sewing shop, etc to create their own patch, button, decal, hat, t-shirt, etc. This would relieve any one member from having to bear the financial burden of up front production expenses, order processing, collection, and finally shipping.

I'd like NOT a huge, long decal but maybe an oval or rounded triangle that is a nice bumper size that will not look tacky on the boat. Those big, blue bumper stickers I chiseled off the Meridian let me know how much I DON'T want something like that. I've found some kool owl art and I'm looking for a decent Europaddle art. I have a good Greenland paddle I can use but my thought is to play with different shapes. I like the silhouette idea but we might be able to do two colors with shades of them for the art. For the bizillion of us with yellow boats, it would be nice to have two choices of colors so the things show up. If we want to get into the T-shirt angle I have contacts that might be good. At least I'm willing to try. I can do the art to send to the maker of the shirts and save us a dime or two. Did we have an end date on submissions? I need at least a week because I have other things that need doing as well but I'd like to be able to give this a real try. Joan Spinner * * * Watching the thaw on the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

>Bob from the Bayside wrote; >Feathered or unfeathered? > My 2 cents; I built a small scale "unfeathered" paddle for a freind to hang on the wall. Although he and I both paddle feathered the unfeathered paddle just worked better hanging on a flat surface. Point I'm trying to make is I think a unfeathered paddlewould would look more define (can't think of a better word) on a logo. So my vote would be a unfeathered paddle.

I just originally went with the yellow because I recalled the "code" for PW'ers meeting up at symposia last summer was supposed to be a yellow ribbon with a black "P" on it. Do I remember this correctly? A year later, who cares! I can easily change the yellow to any other color; I'll work on a PFD tonight. Shawn -- Shawn W.

Jeez - Owls? Feathered and unfeathered? Vertical owls/horizontal paddles.... hortzontal owls, vertical paddles..... PFDs.....maybe a VHS...I'm surprised nobody's mentioned an owl with sponsons. - Bill Hansen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
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.

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.

I like bright yellow because I envision P'wisers spotting decals on luggage in strange airports and other venues. I suggest a black border. A round design lends itself nicely to decals, buttons, pins (tie-tack/hat pin type), patches.

It's really exciting to see how high enthusiam for this project is running but let's keep in mind that Jackie has not yet announced any official plans or acceptance of the idea. In the meantime, hoping we'll get a thumbs up in the near future, I'm posting submissions at this URL: www.transport.com/~magpi/logos.html so keep checking in to see the latest. Please hold off on voting until some announcement is made, and please keep submitting logos. Don't worry if you don't have expensive graphics software or great artistic talent.You can sketch your idea, scan it and send it in. I think most of the submissions are works-in-progress at this point and we can expect many changes before it's time to make selections. I hope everyone will continue to offer their vision of the PaddleWise logo, but I suggest we not limit the design at this point. Let's let creative juices flow while excitement is high and see what list members come up with. There may be wonderful concepts we have yet to consider. _____________________________ PaddleWise logo submissions can be seen at: www.transport.com/~magpi/logos.html _____________________________ my 2 cents. :-) Karen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
