Twirre

Boat logo for a Compromis 909

Twirre means ‘a little whirlwind’ in Dutch Frisian. 

Twirre

/ Concept

Our first sailboat, a Jaguar 27, was named Twirre, and we decided to keep that name. When we later bought a Compromis 909, we renamed her Twirre (2).

 

Twirre means “a little whirlwind” in Frisian. So I designed a logo with a playful swirl around the letter T — a bold, chubby look to match her solid, bulky appearance.

 

The Compromis is known for its spacious interior, not so much for its performance — although she suited our needs at the time. Unfortunately, she turned out to be dangerously flawed, with many hidden defects. We eventually had to abandon her and moved on to a Taling 32.

/ Theme & Style

I kept the bow logo stickers simple and used the playful version for our social media and the transom of the boat.

/ Colours

I matched the blue with her sprayhood, striping and UV protection strip.
