This silver script boat name belongs to Molly Maguire, a Seaway boat. We lettered her name in burnished silver leaf film over a black Avery outline. The result is a classic name with a soft, satin shine.
Why a silver script boat name works
A flowing script gives a boat name movement and personality. On Molly Maguire, the tall capitals and long tails stretch across the hull, so the name reads well from the dock. In addition, burnished silver has a quiet, satin glow. It looks rich without being flashy. As a result, silver suits a white hull, teak trim and stainless hardware.
Why the black outline matters
Silver on a white hull can fade into the background from a distance. For that reason, every letter sits on a thin black outline. That way, the silver script boat name holds its shape from a distance. The outline also gives the script a hand-painted look, much like traditional sign work. Burnishing the leaf is what gives the silver its satin finish.
Designing your silver script boat name
Every boat name starts with a drawing. First, we lay out your name to scale and help you pick a font that suits your boat. Next, we send a mock photo of the name on your own hull, so you can see it before we install anything. Then we install the black Avery outline and lay the silver leaf film on top, much like vinyl.
