The Boneyfiddler logo of the Boneyfiddle Project

n 2014, as Robert and Julia Black were establishing their nonprofit organization -- the Boneyfiddle Project -- Robert acquired rights to the image from Margie Russell in exchange for two music CDs, which Robert had produced -- Welcome to P’town and Welcome Back P’town. The compilation spotlighted local singers and songwriters, and included Robert's own “Boneyfiddle, Boneyfiddle,” which featured a walking tour of the district. After acquiring the Boneyfiddler’s image rights, Black notes that “I copyrighted the image and began the process of having it vectored by local graphic designer Michael Vermillion. The image would become the logo for our nonprofit and was the centerpiece of our efforts to promote Boneyfiddle. In 2019 I had the image re-vectored by Dot Flanagan and she positioned the fingers on the left hand to look as though they were actually fretting the fiddle. Prior to that the hand was actually cradling the fiddle. It takes a discerning eye to catch the difference, but it made the image look more realistic.”
