Evidently, I didn't know people were already talking about the flags at FF and since no one posted regarding them, I thought I'd start the process.  I have no information on what's been talked about or what's been done.

:compumad: I take it that my logo is out :confused: .

I guess you don't want me to design the flag :U .......I quit :J

Quote from: Dee4jtoo bad you couldn't just buy pre-made flags. making them seems like soooo much work..the only thing I can do in sewing is sew on a button :eyecrazy:
 
Thanks Kim for all the effort
Sewing the flags is not that hard. It's just hemming a square and making a sleeve for the holder.  
 
Kim, let me know if you want  help with the sewing, if you end up with this project.  
 
I think silk screening is a cheaper, better way to do it.  After sun exposure and potential washings, the thread of the embroidery may start to rot and unravel.

Ok....OK...I un-quit :p .

As a user of many-many flags during my 14 years of sailing around the world, I can tell you that embroidered flags DEFINITELY hold up to the sun and wind better than silkscreen.

Having said that, I doubt that many of us will be flying our flags 24/7. With the difference in price and the limited time that these flags will be exposed, the added expense of the embroidered flags may not be acceptable to many. However, I would most likely pay the difference because the embroidered flags are SOOOOOO much classier.

Just my 2 cents :sombraro:

sometimes patience is in order just because it's not posted right away doesn't mean nothing is happening, sometimes it is a good thing to have all the info or organized before posting.



My other thoughts ..I was under the impression that embroidery held up.

my experience with silk screen is it doesn't. but that's always been on shirts.

Thanks Kim for putting your efforts into this. We saw the California Campers flags at Flying Flags (and they also had jackets)! We definitely would want a flag so put us on the list too. Take a look at my new avatar that I ripped off from someone. This might make a nice logo.

Tatoos would be coooool. Then we could get piercings and have little camper charms hanging from a ring in our navals. :yikes:  :-()  :-()

This is way too much information. At least I don't know where they'll be. We take a flag also.

Lisa... don't encourage wavery ;)


back to the design.

Jeanne I like the campfire , it was one of my "generic" camp theme suggetions
we could even do Pine trees at the beach or something if the design needs to be simpler due to cost.


I think It would be cool to Use the original SCCampers logo. We ALL started out with PU's and even tho some of us have bought other types of RV's the bottom line is we are part of PUT's and out of loyalty to what has brought us all together I think we should continue using it.
This is what makes SCCampers & PUT so great...we are not some hoity toity group that requires you to fill out an application to see if you "fit" our group.
our motto has always been the more the merrier no matter what you camp in.


so group hug everyone..love one another.... and let's get these flags made :p
