CSP Style and Positioning of boat stickers

ICF Boat stickers – Canoe Sprint
This document seeks to define the standards to be used for equipment stickers at ICF Canoe Sprint
Events. It is thought to be a benefit to have a consistent standard, where possible, across all ICF
Competitions.
1 – Athlete’s name sticker
This will be applied on all boats for ICF Canoe Sprint competitions. In order for the canoes and
kayaks to be presented in the best possible light, the name stickers must be positioned at the same
point on every boat.
Please use the template provided by the ICF with correct sizes and font. Before printing, the National
Federations or Organizer will just have to open the file (on Acrobat) and change the letters.
Font
Arial bold capital letters on white background
Designation
Last name + space + first letter of the first name + dot.
Example: GUSTAFFSON A.
Letters height
7 cm
Sticker height
8 cm
Sticker length
Given to the wide variety of name lengths, having a single
sticker dimension will look ungainly. Therefore, stickers will be cut
to the length of the name, leaving equal left and right margins: 4 cm
at each side.
Positioning of the sticker
For K1-2-4, Competitors names will be placed on each side of the boat.
The letters on the stickers should be placed just below the cockpit. In all
cases the sticker must be as close to the cockpit rim as possible
consistent with a good view from the side, with the sticker levelled.

from the back of the cockpit.

Please use the template provided by the ICF with correct sizes and font. Before printing, the National
Federations or Organizer will just have to open the file (on Acrobat pro) and change the letters according
to the Country code.
Font
NOC Tricode: same font as the paddler’s names: Arial bold capital
letters on white background.

Positioning of the sticker
on the deck at the front of the boat, near the cockpit, on each side of
the boat.
The organiser can print and stick a separate removable sticker to fill the blank space with
the event logo. This sticker should be 7 cm height and 8.5 cm width maximum to fit in the NOC
sticker.
