Submission of entries for our logo are encouraged by dropping a line to
flyingpig at justpickone dot org. The winner (up to a couple) gets a week's
cruise on the boat, wherever we are at the time they choose to take it,
following commissioning expected post 2004 hurricane season. Cruising
grounds will be throughout the Caribbean through November 2005, and
concentration in the Virgins for the following 7-8 months. Redemption of
the prize authorized until November 2006. Transportation to cruising site
not included :{)) We'll post the other entries as received, and notify the
winner, publicly if desired.

When's the deadline? Colour, b&w lineart or both? Size/scale?
Suitable for embroidery AND stickers/business cards, etc.?

Is this going on a cruising spinnaker? Good luck cruising the eastern
Med and the Red Sea, if it is!

As I do design for a living (but not a lot of logos), I fancy I have a
crack at this! Congratulations on the Morgan, by the way. As soon as I
get the paying work out of the way, I'll give this a crack.

Very nice, Skip.

We're not going to splash the boat before November (after we immediately
take it around to the west FL coast due to the extreme price differential)
at the earliest, due to the hurricane bit and our need to get out of town,
so to speak. So, let's say August 1. As to size, digital would be good, as
that will convert to scale as needed. We're thinking about some pretty fancy
ones for us, and some simpler, maybe silk-screened ones, for guests.

Well, color is nice - the folks we have in mind do that sort of embroidery -
but it has to be relatively simple. Some of the designs which I put up
after the original post would fit that description - I'm leaning toward the
one with the little bit of red in the wing(s), side view, because it would
be pretty easy to embroider, but I'm not really thrilled with the pig
itself. I'm spoiled by the stormpigs which were the original from which the
shirt designs were taken... Anyway, line art would probably be the easiest
to reproduce.

Background on this is that we go to a pig roast every Labor Day, hosted by,
among others, some pilots. T-shirts are given to participants, and these
were one year's efforts of one of the wives, *way* too much to do again, so
the rest have been either tie-dye or silkscreen designs...

Is this going on a cruising spinnaker? Good luck cruising the eastern
Med and the Red Sea, if it is!

No, just on our caps and shirts and the bow, and maybe the stern. I read
about some ad campaign which was withdrawn due to upset Muslims...

Very good, indeed. We look forward to the submission.

Very nice, Skip.

blush scrapes toe in dirt Thanks. We're going to name the dink Piglet,
and figure out a way to avoid copyright issues and still have some logo that
looks like that, but has wings, too :{))

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear
night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are
quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin
