Kraft Logo from the gold anodized propo and reed sets

Post by Mike_K »

Stuart Mackey was after the artwork for an early Kraft set he'd bought that had the screen-printed label damaged.

There were various people who helped out over on rcgroups and together with my weathered Kraft Custom S/C set, I made a composite image of them, most have bits damaged or missing, so hopefully, the below is a fair representation of how it would originally have been. The only bit I'm not certain of is the "r" in the "Kraft", some have the "r" separated from the red "oval" around the "K", in others (my S/C set included) it merges into the red oval. When I get time I'll do another logo with the "r" separated, so that you can chose which suits your Kraft transmitter

I have it as a pdf and Photoshop .psd file if anybody needs a higher resolution image with the red and black separated into different layers if you were going to get it cut in vinyl.

I just checked my transmitter. The "r" is connected to the red oval around the "K" as you show it in your example.

Thanks for confirming that John.

These were two of the images I was working from, obviously, Kraft had variations on their logo in the early days. I may also have the lettering slightly too thick, but as its not my set, I'm leaving it as is.

I posted a scan of the logo used on Kraft receivers and servos.
