I don’t believe the ”M" should be removed. “M" stands for MacGregor, not a particular class of MacGregor; we don’t want to be confused as Puffin boat owners do we? https://www.puffinboatcompany.com/ Also, speaking as a painter, I do believe that the placement of the sphere is correct where Kevin placed it. The visual perspective is perfect.

I designed it, so yeah, I like it with the M. The swelled-up puffin (non-M photo) does fill the round space but, as noted earlier, it just doesn't look right. Besides, most boat marque burgees have some identifying letter or letter-number combination on them, so this follows that custom.

The printer didn't like the artwork I submitted. Said the resolution was too low. They edited it and provided a "proof". I don't like it. It's a FLAG, not a burgee with a bunch of white stuff. I'd rather a solid flag if that's the only option.

Hey Kevin, do you have time to search for the original artwork or redo it in higher res?

As it happens, I think I may have found my original art work. Here it is:

Thanks Kevin!

I submitted the original file. Doesn't have the "M" but it looks good.
Hopefully they can use it.

Here they are.

Not bad. Quality isn't great, but it's OUR burgee.
