Hello Kitty

Posted on Saturday 25 March 2006

Just got these photos of the lettering for the Pretty Gee. The lettering and logos were created and put on the boat by Brendon Brandon, of Designs & Signs. I’m very happy with the results.

Pretty Gee type Kitty Cat logo
This is the boat’s name and logo on the starboard ama of the boat.

Pretty Gee type with Kitty Cat logo
This is the boat’s name and logo on the port ama of the boat.

Home port with Kitty Cat logo
This is the home port and logo on the transom of the main hull.

The quality of the photos isn’t the best, as they were taken with a camera-phone. I think the lettering and logo came out quite well. I’m also planning to get some t-shirts or polo shirts made up with the kitty cat logo on the front and something across the back. One of my friends might be able to help me with them, as she has an industrial embroidery machine.

A little bit about the boat name and logo. The boat is named in memory of my late wife, Gee, and Pretty Gee was the ICQ handle I got her when we were dating, and she was living 3,000 miles away. The kitty cat was her totem in our family. I know that I’ll probably get some weird looks or questions, since the Pretty Gee is not a catamaran, but a trimaran…but the kitty cat logo has little to do with the boat, and everything to do with whom the boat is named after.

Some of our friends refer to Gee as the weather goddess, because of some of the strange things that have happened since she passed away. I hope that having a boat named for a weather goddess will yield fair winds and following seas—it probably can’t hurt.
