Marina and burgee logo redrawing
A yacht club burgee or marina logo is often on file only as a flag photo or a small website image. Harbor Plaque Co redraws it as vector artwork, so the shapes stay crisp at any size. The same file can then go on a Marina Welcome & Entrance Sign, member plaques and regatta trophies.

Our club burgee only exists as a flag. Can it go on a sign?
Often it can. Harbor Plaque Co redraws the burgee from the clearest image you have, straightening the flag shape and rebuilding any lettering. A photo of a flag in the wind is the hardest source, so a flat scan of a printed program or letterhead is better if you have one. Send the club's colors with the image.
How does a burgee move from a flagpole to an entrance sign?
A yacht club wants its burgee on a Marina Welcome & Entrance Sign at the gate, reading Willow Harbor, Welcome and Visitor check-in at the harbor office. The only source is a photo of the flag flying. The redraw squares up the swallowtail shape, rebuilds the star and matches the blue to the club's printed program. The commodore approves the vector burgee, and the same file is later used on Yacht Club Member Plaque pieces. The club keeps the welcome line short, because fees and hours change and belong on a separate notice.

Marina Welcome & Entrance Sign
Prioritize the name and arrival instruction at the expected viewing distance. Keep changing fees and operating details on a separate notice, and describe the sign's support and coastal or freshwater exposure when requesting materials.

How do you prepare a club or marina logo for signs?
01
Look for a printed source
Check old programs, letterhead, flag maker files or club clothing orders. A flat printed copy is easier to redraw than a photo of a moving flag.
02
Confirm the club colors
Send color codes if the club has them, or a sample of the printed color. Burgee colors in photos shift with light, so a printed reference keeps the redraw accurate.
03
Check the burgee at plaque size
Check the vector logo at the size of the smallest piece, such as a member plaque. Fine stars or anchor ropes may need to be simplified at that size.

Questions about marina and burgee logo redrawing
Our club burgee only exists as a flag. Can it go on a sign?
Often it can. Harbor Plaque Co redraws the burgee from the clearest image you have, straightening the flag shape and rebuilding any lettering. A photo of a flag in the wind is the hardest source, so a flat scan of a printed program or letterhead is better if you have one. Send the club's colors with the image.
Does redrawing our burgee cost extra?
Sometimes. A clean vector file is ready to use. A flag photo with lettering takes drawing time. Attach the image to your quote request, and the written quote shows whether redraw work is needed and lists it as its own item.
Who has to approve the redrawn burgee?
Whoever looks after the club's identity, often the commodore or the board. A burgee carries meaning for members, so small shape changes can matter. Have that person approve the vector file before it goes on any sign, plaque or trophy.
Will a colored burgee look the same engraved in metal?
No. Engraving reproduces shapes, not colors, so a blue and white burgee becomes one tone on metal. A full-color piece, such as the Full-Color Marina Map & Sign Package, can carry the colors. Decide which pieces need color before the redraw starts.
