Title: Club and or boat flags
Post by: Hotwired on September 13, 2010, 03:39:51 PM
I heard mention a few times at the meet a request for a Glastron or club flag.  I have started looking for a manufacturer to make some.  What would you people like to have on it?  CGOAMN?  Glastron?  Glastron Carlson? Team Glastron? Team CGOA?  CGOA? ..... ???

I like the Glastron 'G' the best
with CGOAMN.COM under it.

No Carlson in my collection, yet!

You all know I love the G!  (No Carlson in my fleet of one either, yet.)  Maybe one with and one without?  There was a lady called Flagchic who did some for some of the guys over on FG, you might get in touch with her Chris.
flagchick@shaw.ca or theflagchick@hotmail.com
I'd be up for one too, would be proud to fly the CGOAMN colors here.

The one like Mark's with CGOANM.COM under it.
But I'll take one no matter which way you do it ...

Like Gregg said;
Mark's GLASTRON inside the blue & red 'G' and
       CGOAMN.COM centered under it

You will have better luck getting Mrs GT150 to 'GO FAST' than I will getting
Mrs Tonka to approve another boat.    :P

The flags are an excellent idea IMHO. I like the one's with "CGOAMN" in them someplace the best.

Post by: catchnedge on September 13, 2010, 11:00:05 PM
Chris, great initiative... thanks!  I will for sure buy one no matter what you make up. 

my 2 cents... 

if only one design... I like the Glastron G with Glastron in it like MarkSs, MN web site address would be just fine under it. 

if we can order multiple designs, maybe make another geared towards the Carlson's, like the bottom graphic you put up.

Thanks again.

I was going to find someone to make one of these any way's so this is great that we can do it as a group buy. I vote for the Glastron "G" with GLASTRON in the middle or the last one you posted Chris with the Glastron "G" and GLASTRON CARLSON. I don't really care one way or another if the club name is on it. Maybe below, centered and in text at least half the size or smaller.

I am really surprised Cafepress does not have the option to create flags as they have everything else available!

Love the idea!  I would really like to see the website represented somehow.  It doesn't have to be the primary focus, but present would be inportant to me.

I have a Carlson but that's the wrong emblem for me.  I'm with you guys to use one thay just says Glastron with the club name on there someplace.

I have a friend working on the flag as soon as it arrives.  He is going to try to reproduce in as the red with white Script Glastron Logo on it.  He is using an embroidered logo on it so it will be one sided. Depending on how it turns out we can make the background most any color the fabric comes in.

Chris, just an option for you....

here are a few pictures of a flag that Pamela did for me a few years back for my Arkansas Traveler, i.e. "Flagchick" that MarkS mentioned, her email address is theflagchick@hotmail.com, she advertises on eBay.

The quality is fantastic.  She embroidered both sides (reversed), very professionally done, double sided flags with Tyvec, which is a light blocker so the opposite side won't show through, with a sewn border.   This flag she did for me was very custom... I scanned in pictures of an old boat brochure showing the Arkansas Traveler logo, custom picked the colors for my boat application, and she also reduced the size to fit my flag pole (10" x 15"), as opposed to the advertised 12" x 18", as many of the older boat flags were smaller in size than newer ones.  For some applications, you can also let her know if it needs to be raked, (if the pole rides on a 30 degree (r so)angle then the flag should probably be raked).  Anyways, bottom line is that she makes a lot of these and can custom make it to whatever your specifications are.  I paid $45.  Also, she was able to make it and send in just a few weeks.  May be worth checking into/just an option.  The "double sided" option is nice.

BTW... I like the original Red w/White script Glastron name.

Thanks Chris!

Mark

Those are both great!  The possibilities are endless. I will wait till the original reaches my friend and see what he says for a reproduction price.  Mark, if you want to look into having some made from your contact, feel free.  Design wise, we have a lot of options to pick from.  Personal preference may be leading to several custom designs.

Pam made the flag for my '59 Spitfire. I would definately use her again.

My friend Eric received the flag in the mail today. He said it may be a week or more before he gets to the order but will get on it as soon as possible.

Post by: Rosscoe on October 17, 2010, 09:38:13 AM
I like the look of Dane's with the white (or whatever we'd want) field and a contrasting border. That looks great! Depends on how custom we want to go, I suppose.
So once the design is settled on, will it be available in more then one color or for "production" sake, will they all be the same?
Title: Re: Club and or boat flags
Post by: Hotwired on October 17, 2010, 12:38:57 PM
I was thinking of a few colors buy having a batch made up at a time. It may depend on how much $$$ I have to lay out to get a batch made.

Post by: Rosscoe on October 18, 2010, 10:08:06 AM
I had a revelation (brain *Censored*) while in the garage this weekend about the logo. How about that one that Red posted with the web site in the blue horizontal part of the "G"?
I am thinking it may be too small but it would look clean. Of course on the other hand, but not having that text below the logo, that would allow for the logo to be larger.
Just a suggestion.

Post by: Hyperacme on October 18, 2010, 04:58:36 PM
Chris ..
Trying to make every one happy with a design will be tough to do ...
Pick what looks good to you and I'll bet every one will like it ... and order one !

Though ...
I think theres more Carlson's then Glastron's in the membership ....
Title: Re: Club and or boat flags
Post by: David CVX-16 on October 18, 2010, 08:17:08 PM
I would vote for the tried and true football Glastron emblem, without the add-on words of Carlson, the chapter name, etc. I would make it universal, to include non Glastron/Carslon owners, non Minnesota chapter people. Just my opinion.

Here is a picture of the flag we are currently looking at reproducing.  A few have asked for a picture of it.
