Top Tube Decals... photo thread.
Not every bike has a top tube decal. Those that do, it's usually the model name, or sometimes the rider's name. What'cha got?

When Dr. Deltron painted my Super Sport, he had a mishap just as he was about to clear coat the frame. A very small ding occurred on the top of the top tube. He created a band aid decal to cover it up and then finished the clear coat.
It's actually in a gold foil not yellow, so looks rather sharp.

The previous owner of my son's bike had a few decals installed on the Hotrock here.

Does paint count?

I wish I could post my own pics but for sure next year!
I'll be getting a brown leather top tube protector from Velo Orange for a Surly Trucker. Sold in 55cm lengths -- Not TOO bad for a 58cm frame:
Leather Top Tube Protector
It'll go good with a brown leather Brooks or Rivet seat and brown leather bar wrap. I will remove head tube badge and replace with 2 vertically placed "SURLY" stickers on left/right sides -- Kind of like what some manufacturers are doing with their carbon bikes. I will also completely wrap the downtube and seat post with military grade camo 550 paracord.
For a future fat bike (Surly Moonlander or Ice Cream Truck), I plan on wrapping the top tube, down tube, and seat tube with camo military grade 550 paracord. Also will remove head tube badge and replace with 2 "SURLY" stickers on left and right, vertically.
For a future Cannondale CAAD10, I plan on buying the 2015 two-tone blue disc version and putting a simple horizontal 1/4 or 1/8 inch neon green automotive pinstripe. It will start on right side under where the "1" on the top tube starts, then follow through horizontally around head tube and end on left side in same location. It will go good with Brooks green leather bar tape, or some other green or neon green bar tape
Example of the CAAD10 paint scheme I want:
