CUSTOM ROD BUILDING GETS NEW INTERNATIONAL SYMBOL
New symbol seeks to unite custom fishing rod builders from around the
world!
HIGH POINT, NC - The custom rod building craft now has its own unique
identifying symbol, similar in nature to those in use by divers, law
enforcement personnel, fraternities, etc. The symbol features three
rod tips, casting/spinning, roller-trolling and fly, in bold black, on
a stark white background for maximum impact. There is no text on the
symbol, owing to its intended international nature.
According to Tom Kirkman, publisher of RodMaker Magazine an originator
of the symbol, “Three rod tips is the fewest number of items that fully
represent the greatest number of various rod types.”
According to Kirkman, approximately 35,000 decals featuring the new
symbol have already been distributed to custom rod builders around the
world at no charge. A website explaining the symbol can be found at
www.intcustomrodsymbol.org
Custom rod builders wishing to obtain and display the new symbol may
obtain it at no charge by sending a stamped 5x7 inch SASE to:
International Custom Rod Building Symbol, PO Box 1322, High Point, NC
27261. Decals featuring the symbol will also be available for free at
the International Custom Rod Building Exposition in February 2009
(www.rodexpo.com).
W skrócie chodzi o to, że w USA od dłuższego czasu rodbuilderzy podejmują wysiłki żeby się zoragnizować jako branża, stworzyć wspólną reprezentację zawodową etc. Jednym z przejawów tego ruchu jest międzynarodowy znaczek rodbuildingu - trzy szcztówki różnych typów wędek.
Zainteresowanie rodbuilderzy mogą uzyskać logotyp i decale znaku za darmo, za jego używanie nie są pobierane żadne opłaty.
