Scram boat lettering

This boat name is a play on the family’s surname and fun because its a fast boat off the island (vs. waiting for the ferry). We ended up producing version 8 as a two layer vinyl graphic with a gold foil overlay. The streaks in the black outline each have a white line which is cut through both layers to create the graphic illusion of speed. They are carefully registered at the boat and look great mounted off center to the port side.
