06 Graphics

[Grant_West]

Not a fan of the new graphic's the one on the 220 is cool but the Air Flame/Tribal graphic on the 210 211 is "LAME"

Nautique is usually the first one to do cool new thing's not the last to do a over played trend. Flames and Tribal graphics. LAME LAME LAME.

RE: 06 Graphics

I've been thinking about this whole graphics thing a lot lately... Everyone gets so uptight about CC "copying" BU and other companies, but I think people are remembering its just a **** sticker... Fact is, I think it looks good on the new Nautiques--I like it... simple as that... but that's just me...

RE: 06 Graphics

I agree with you Grant, I literally cringed when I first saw the 06 graphics a few months ago... But they are CF print too. IMO Ricer+ Boat graphics+ old Malibu Graphic= 06 AIR graphic...

RE: 06 Graphics

Dragon what is CF print??? One thing I did notice about the quality of the "sticker" that I didn't like was that the word "Nautique" is not bubble anymore, its the same material as the rest of the graphic. That just looks and feels cheap... Is that what your talking about?

I saw a new 216 w/ the new graphcis and just liked the change in pace, but like I said it's all personal oppinion, you can always take them off.. its still nicer than any other graphics out there today that I'm seeing...

CF- Carbon Fiber, but it's fake so it's pretty lame, thus the ricer comment.

RE: 06 Graphics

Ok that makes sense... I have to agree w/ that anything fake is lame... but just the sticker as a whole is still alright. I like how they're keeping it simply small and not making it take up the whole side of the boat like MC and BU do, that's one thing that only CC does that's nice about their graphics, they're still small...(except for 220 which is a dif. story...)

Lame and awful would be understatements to describe that graphic. Absolutely terrible looking. If I got an 06 the first thing I would do is take that stupid looking thing off of my boat. I honestly don't understand what CC was thinking when they made the decision to use that graphic.

Think the tribal graphic would look better if it wasn't flattened along the bottom. If it was more rounded on the underside it would look better. If you look at the side of the 06 nautiques with this tribal thang, the flattened bottom looks like it was an accident when applying the decals....

Never really liked the whole tribal/flame thing on any boat. I was really happy to see the big block letter back on the Ski Nautiques this year. I think they would look great if they just said Air Nautique instead. The on e above looks like Darth Vadar barfed on the side of the boat.

Simply put, I like the new logo. I am getting an 06 211 and think the new graphic does a great job at making the poor paint options tolerable.

I like this much better. Tribal sucks.

In terms of modifing the current graphic, I think the best way would be to cut off completely, at the base, the 4 longest "tentacles. Then leave, but cut off the tip to a sharp edge on the 4 other shorter "tentacles" and leave everything else alone.

I tried to do it in photoshop, but it never quite came out. I think that would at least help remove some of the tribal influence.

Maybe someone with better ps skills could do it.

That looks good.

And I agree with the CF ricer comment! Yellow_Flash_Colorz:
