Somebody has to know how to flip it using some program.

Doesn't look fast and sleek.... As it deserves!

You know I love ya bro, but it kinda looks like a tattoo; to each there own :beer

Well...its basically a copy from a beer bottle label (shiner black). I figured this or silver stock logo. So torn right now

think i got it. thanks to some in house expertise. both of my logos and my inspiration. if this goes well maybe my 70 build will be a full blown shiner trike.everyone let me know what you think. this will be going on the gas tank possibly. i might put up a poll for stock silver logo vs this one.

how do you get them Printed on Sticker paper?

I understand Your designing It now, but Lets say i wanted to also.

What is all involved? Just take the design somewhere that would make it into a Decal?

the trouble your going to have is that one will be completely written backwards. This would be fine on a window where there is transparency to view it. I will save and play with the design and get it set right for you. Just give me a day or so (lots of holiday crap going on still). I also can print them if needed.

I just need the design. Still going back and forth in my head. Its open game if anyone wants to play with it. Looking forward to what you get. I think the font is just some olde english of dafont.com

missed the tail of the H on the second one but it looks right. i was stuck on leaving the curly thing in the same spot and got messed up. the tail can stay off the a.

I removed the tail from the "H" and moved it to the "a" to keep it even. I like the idea you have, and have a few cool thoughts on something a little more modern but retro that might look good . I will play with them later today and post them for you. What actual colors are you planning on doing the decals in?

Grey or chrome scallop. I dont think the tail on the a looks good. It looks like the lower point got cut a little too

its getting there, straighten the letter up like the original label, I think that will help. I do not have the exact font but here is a rough idea

Thats the same font i just put the lines in the letters myself. Looks good blue. Thinkin wack the tail on the other h to match and i can do the lines and its good. How much would it be to have it cut on vinyl? Ive never priced it
