There are not many real radio stations left in America. KPIG in

Did I miss something here? Did you close the deal on the Morgan? If
so, congratulations are surely in order. Let's hopewe cross wakes
sometime.

Indeed. However, we're still looking for insurance, which is required with
the financing. Assuming all the places we're looking aren't sitting on
their hands (anyone from Golden looking on? It's been well over a week -
even though I know your computers have been troubled lately...), we trust
that we'll have that in short order. Likewise the survey report, which
should be voluminous. I've got a head start on our counter based on what I
already know, but want the rest of the story, so to speak.

All goes well, we'll turn the key on Monday morning March 1.

Thanks for asking. A full report will follow the conclusion, whatever it
turns out to be.

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.

Suitable for embroidery AND stickers/business cards, etc.?

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.

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 :{))

This is in the US as the Canadian system seems to be down at the
moment.

When we bought our boat its name was INCORRIGIBLE which Bob hated.
The first boat we chartered was WHISPER, and I thought that was a good
name, but when I looked it up, there were 50 some WHISPERs. We also
wanted something a bit unique.

We considered a large number of names, including REAL QUIET who had
just won the Kentucky Derby. I looked all of them up for uniqueness.
There were no Real Quiets in the database although there is a small
boat here in this marina with that name, but we finally decided on my
first name. There are 14 other boats with ROSALIE in their names
(including a fishing boat named ST. ROSALIE, and a freight barge named
ROSALIE 106B), but none that are ROSALIEANN.


As for logos - before you use one, you'd usually have to get
permission. http://www.flyingpigsoftware.com/showwinner.html has the
designs for a Flying Pig logo contest. (I don't like any of these)

The Flying Pig Systems one looks like it has an attitude.

http://flyingpig.pigpen.com/ is a site for people who collect pigs and
their logo is a bit more cherubic

There's a carved balsa flying pig on the order of the Flying Pig
System one http://www.natashascafe.com/html/pig.html which could
perhaps serve as a figurehead.

****My favorite is http://www.arcfan.demon.co.uk/sf/flying.htm the
Flying Pig Bookshop in the UK which has a nice silhouette logo

A Japanese company http://www.flying-pig.co.uk/ apparently makes
'executive toys to model' and has a moving model of a flying pig.

http://www.flyingpig.nl/alt1024/theFlyingPig1024.htm is a backpackers
hostel in Holland but their logo doesn't seem particularly useful.

http://www.flyingpigmarathon.com/ has a logo for the Flying Pig
Marathon in Cincinnati

There's a logo on the Flying Pig home page of a couple in the UK
http://users.argonet.co.uk/users/flying.pigs/intro.html

There's also Flying Pig Shopping, Flying Pig Productions (selling
flying pigs - apparently people collect them), Flying Pig Eyewear, The
Flying Pigs QRP Club, the Flying Pig Brewing Company (without a web
page), a Flying Pig singing group that has put out a CD, a UK
Cambridge football (soccer) club named Flying Pigs, and Flying Pig
Precinct in NSW which is a gift shop.
