Anyone know where I can locate a font that looks like the Sea Ray type? I know that it's probably a custom logo but I thought that it was with a shot.

Here's the link...

Thanks ahead of time...

I'm thinking custom on that one...look at the a's, their different, if it were a font, they'd be the same...just my opinion...

If it's the Sea Ray name, Brans of the world have them. But if it's the type I do believe it is custom.

Yeah - that's what I figured too Sam.

Customer wants to name his new boat "River Ray".

Guess I'll have to digitize it.

If it's just for the transom, I'd be tempted to lay it out by hand and cut it with an x-acto.

Thanks for the idea George...

It's gonna be on two sides

The funny thing is - these days - I could probably digitize it faster than sketching,laying it out and cutting it by hand.

He also wants it in two colors - outline and drop shadow - so having it done by the computer seems the best way.

But again...not a bad thought. Thanks...

I had a boat lettering job several years ago and the owner wanted "My Ray" done in the Sea Ray letters. I looked everywhere and finally just doctored up Brush Script to get the letter I wanted - I only needed an "M" and the others came from the logo. If it had been just the boat, I'd have hand-cut it, but I was also doing 2 sides of a dock box and a smaller version on a tender vessel, as well as supplying a vector file for crew shirts.
