Has anyone had custom decals made for them? If so, where to?

There used to be a Russian site called 'All the Brands' that had heaps of logos etc so you could give them to local sign place, Google for other artwork sites 'logos' or whatever. In Petone I used Fine Signs, but should be local people.

[edit]
oh no, it was logos. Hmm, no mello yello I can see, Consider painting the bike orange?

This was the site that Dave refers to...still active under name change. Best thing is, all the logos are vector-based eps...so very signie friendly.

www.brandsoftheworld.com. It's where I got most of the eps files for my bikes decals. Buy yourself a vinyl cutter off trademe for $1000 and go nuts.

...and 'drive' it with what program?

The software that comes with the cutter...

That might depend on the brand of cutter....I use a Roland and there is no 'software' for it - eg, the sign program I use incorporates the drivers for many makes/models of plotter (cutter) and is very expensive.

Creation models come with their own software, 25,000 different fonts, and are available brand new on trademe for $995. I've used one for the past 6 months, and other than teething problems (ie setting blade height etc) it's done the job very well.

Here's a link just for you.

(Whoops, forgot the shipping, which isn't cheap at $295, but it's a big package)

Thanks OAB - versatile looking machine. Never heard of them, but will keep in mind if my Roland ever shits itself (must happen eventually, it's used every day putting thru anything up to 20m of 610 vinyl, and is probably 15years old).

Thanks for all the advice guys

This is the look I was perhaps going for.

Reflection motorcycle refinishers.

My vfr decals including a few custom ones are gonna set me back about $150.

Craig at Attract Promotions (attract.promotions@gmail.com ) did the stickies on my bike for me. I downloaded a trial version of Coral Draw off the old net and came up with them myself(typical student tightarse approach).

Came out real good, and he gave me a great deal too, so thumbs up from me.
