This Hacker-Craft boat lettering is a custom antique logo in gold leaf. We designed and applied all of it by hand. The Hacker-Craft logo is really something special. It reminds us of days past, simpler times, and having fun on the Chesapeake Bay. The logos are not available online in any useful format, so Travis started with a photo of the logo and recreated the necessary vector files. Each line must be edited to smooth out bumps and other abnormalities. This is time-consuming, but attention to detail is critical for any good logo. Designs & Signs, based in Edgewater, Maryland, does this work for boat owners around the Bay.

Custom gold leaf lettering for your Hacker-Craft

We applied this gold leaf boat name by hand on a beautiful wooden boat. Brendon Brandon uses a lettering brush to add the outline and shadow after the gold leaf. After the outline dries, the boat is given additional coats of TotalBoat Lust marine varnish. With regular upkeep of the topcoat, the name will hold up for many seasons. Does your boat need stunning gold leaf lettering? Our website includes many photos of custom boat names and hand-carved gilded quarterboards.
