Hi..
I was wondering what the best way is to print your own logo on a kite.? Which material to use and the best way to apply it.?
Will it affect the kites performance?
Should i have to contact the company who produced the kite regarding copyright?
Hope you can help me out.
Peace
Shauwer

Re: Print of own Logo on the Kite..
the best way is to do it with kite material stickers. very flexible, sticks, and can be removed.
There are some companies in the world who do it, mine was done in Germany.
Let me know if you want the contact.
Why contact the kite company? It is your kite!

Re: Print of own Logo on the Kite..
Thanks Toby. Your the man! 
Could link me with a couple of these companies/websites?
How long do the stickers last? How often do you have to replace them??
Do they make them in different colours and fonts?
- TRUE.. My money = my kites!
Just wanted to be sure i don't get a lawsuit.
Thanks

contact Andreas: info@tramontana24.com
English will be fine.
They last quiet a bit. Mine were done in September, and have 4 months of Brazil sun and salt behind it.
Still looks fine. So I assume a normal kite lifetime it will do!
They can do any font, and I assume almost any color the kite material is available in.
But I assume mixed colors will not work...but ask Andreas, he will know.

Re: Print of own Logo on the Kite..
Carefull with stickers.
Did a few kites for a sponsor and if your lettering is cut out and not too big you can get away with it.
If your sticker is large it will affect the shape of your kite.
Also removing it leaves traces of glue and effort,
so think about it carefully.

Re: Print of own Logo on the Kite..
The thing is, i "need" (WANT) some new gear and is trying to see if I can find a sponsor for this.
The Stickers that Toby mentioned is a possibility if i do find a sponsor.
Logo sizewise should be approx. like this picture.

Re: Print of own Logo on the Kite..
but you just want the text, not the white field! just text is more flexible and does not change any performance
