Boat Decal

Anyone got any ideas about making a stick on decal for our boats showing we are LLF members? Nice and bright that would be visible from a distance.

Is this simple and bright enough? I have it in a Photoshop format where it is 14" wide. I don't know where we can get it printed cheaply though.

I sent this off to a company so see ballpark what the cost would be.

They want $13.64 each. Ouch! They would be a special vinyl sticker with a coating for water resistance. But that still seems a little high.

Yeah I looked into it once. I found they were expensive and never had any really good logos I got excited about.

I don't think you can do it with a regular inkjet printer. The ink isn't sufficient for the outdoors. It will fade in the sun and it isnt water proof.

some place like cafepress would be a good place to look. they can do custom one off stuff. Oval stickers there are 2.49

WE got some stuff from them before...they quality was marginal...not gonna win any awards but not too bad.

Looks good to me. Usually the main cost is the setup fee then they are cheap after that. But if everyone puts in an order then together we can probably divide the setup charges and then it will be cheaper for everyone.

Make up flags.
I don't think that I would put a sticker on my boat!

This is the decal l got from Cafe Press. I also got the hat. Sharp looking hat, but the decal is not big enough to be seen from a distance. Cafe Press is who Shawn was referring to I believe.
