Nice indeed. If a person makes their own graphcis, where is a good source to get waterslide decals made? The local sign shops can do vinyl but can't cut out the letters, which is fine for something like that Fuji or a Schwinn shield but not for something like individual lettering as in TREK.

Testors decal paper. DIY: You don't need the starter or software kit either. Just go to Walmart model car / toys section or a hobby shop and purchase the transfer paper. Two versions are available: clear or white background. Set up the parameters and use a decent inkjet printer. Let them cure for a day and then coat with an acrylic clear. Let that cure for a few days. The water applique works great for both small and large scale.

Whats the closest font you found/used for the Prestige Peugeot? Or did you just trace it?

Also AZORCH, what font did use use for this Peugeot logo? I believe you drew it up and added it to the Yahoo group.

Much better scan on page three
Do you have this as an Illustrator file?

Oh, and I have just uploaded a full set of decal for the Centurion Carbon-R in the Yahoo group. Looks like this but without the purple background

If you're referring to the Super Competition graphic, I did not use any font at all. I have an original decal that was scanned. It is high enough in resolution that one could probably use the Image Trace command in Illustrator and come up with a moderately decent vector file, the main caveat being that you will undoubtedly have some "sweetening" and cleanup to do around all those delicate thin lines.

I am confident in saying that nearly all of the Peugeot logotypes have been specifically designed and drawn, and do not originate - at least not directly - from a standing typeface.

Quang - This is about as close as I can get - The Peugeot fonts are hard to replicate - These .png are sized for 20"x6" - That is twice as big as a vinyl 10"x3" bumper sticker so the resolution should be OK - You can modify them yourself or chose colours at the printers web site...

Just playing around - Can't find the real logo type for this bike - Might be fair enough for a Bumper sticker decal - Don't really know what the head badge looks like - Sized for 3"x10" bumper sticker decal...

Here is a sticker decal format for a "flandria". Never really heard of these bikes before but they are really nice...

No Shh-eye-it... OK only have gotten this far. Font is not a match. Outline is hazy. There is no fill. But can't spend any more time on it. Remember these are just knockoff stick ons...

Very nice work. I took your make and resized them for a 3" x 10" bumper sticker. I put them onto a .pdf that is of the same proportions. You can take the .pdf and drop it into a custom bumper sticker template for the bumper sticker printing companies you find online. Also note that once you have up-loaded the images to your printer service you can ask them to change colours or back grounds on the images. They have the software to easily do this and usually for no charge.

The one I have been using over the years is https://www.buildasign.com/bumper-stickers

UNIVEGA Decal - Helicopter Tape

Lately I have been transferring my images to "Helicopter Tape" and using them for decals. It is working well and I now consider it proven. I resize my images to the required dimensions and then print them off on my Laser Printer using regular paper and settings at Card Stock and Extra Dark. I then apply the tape, soak/rub off the paper and then apply to my frame.

Here's a pic of the decals ready to be soaked.

The images were made in Libreoffice then saved as .pdf which are attached.

Here is one of many links detailing the transfer method. Be sure to use Helicopter Tape.

Edit: 2022-06-23 Finished hand brush paint and mounting decals
