Bow Marking

[camoman]

Ok I thought up a Brand or Marking for the bows I make. Let me know what you think and let me see what you have done. Thanks.

I like it    
Are you going to paint it on? Or get someone to make you a stamp or screen or similar?

[Dave Bowers]

Very Nice

I have been thinking about having a miniature branding iron made and burning it in Old School style. I think it would really stand out. I would probably have to just write on the first couple until I can get the branding iron made. What do you think?

Looks really professional and artistic.

Me likes it alot.  I would like to be able to do something like that on my bows,

i like it , but you might have trouble getting the detail in a brand. the green in the arrow would have to be painted , but it could be done.


i think some silkscreen or model decal paper would work fine.

Camoman,

I like the design and the name!  By the way, are you the same Camoman on AT?

Very nice!

A branding Iron would lose most of the fine detail. That is a great looking logo. You could have a decal professionally done that you could use under your finish. That would look great.

Are you all talking about something like a stick on decal?

I wouldn't be able to do the color in a branding iron, but I think if I close the letters in it would still show. I have to do a few tests with it to see if it will fit like I want it to.

Yes, I have been on Archery Talk a couple of times. One of the forums had 2 camomans not sure which one it was.

Consider this stuff:  http://www.decalpaper.com/default.asp
All the detail and colors you could want and you can make them yourself.

Do you have any pics of some that people have made?

[Grey Taylor]

I haven't yet used it. I'm sure there are pictures on their website. They also have a YouTube video on the site showing a decal being applied.

its used a lot for model airplanes and such.


you could also print your logo on tissue paper or cellulose. there were some rolling papers a while back called "glass" , and they looked like plastic , but they were just clear cellulose. it was an interesting concept , but i dont know if anyone bought them.

theres also the option of transfer decals. a print shop could help you with this.

I used model decal paper to add my son's high school mascot to the bow we made. I think the quality of your decal will be directly proportional to the quality of your printer.

That looks pretty good. Does anyone else have pics of thier mark?
