The "Sun" Logo


I’ve recently had a few people ask me about the origin of my sun logo, so let me bore you with all the details….

It started when I would introduce myself as “Rae” and people would say “what?” I guess a girl named Rae is shocking at first. So, I would say “Rae like a sunray, except with an e.” When I was signing up for my 1st email account, I used sunrae AT usa DOT net & that was 12 or 13 years ago. A few years later, the usa people started charging so I switched to other email accounts and finally settled on sunrae6xx6@yahoo.com which I still have to this day. Wesley wanted to name our first boat after me (for me letting him buy it) 6 years ago, so instead of using my actual name, he had the sun logo made for it which is on the back of the boat (see below). Also, my sister got a sun tattoo that I have always loved….it should be my tattoo. I absolutely love everything about this tattoo design…except it’s on her dang leg. So, the boat decal and Margie’s tat contributed to the first sun logo design on our original website. We decided to change the logo with the launch of our new site. The logo is now a half sun with “Rae” in the middle for “sunrae” and we like this one much better than the old one. So, there’s a little history on the sun logo. I hope our photos bring everyone a little sunshine. I also MUST thank my wonderful hubby for doing all the design work on my logos….I LOVE the final version we are using now! He never complained when I turned my nose up to the 25 designs he proposed before the final one….LOVE YOU BABY!
