Default Re: Waterslide Decals

I had me some fun this evening. I found a half way usable Dressola logo, it was only a 72ppi tiny screenshot but with a bit of tweaking I managed to get enough details so that I could use it as a template.
I got it as close as I could with what I had and the rest that is not identical to the original is, let´s say, close enough to pass muster for the untrained eye.
It took a while to find the correct font though. The "Dressola" main font seems to be a font called: "Black Quality" I can´t find any historical reference to this font, so I presume it is a modern copy of an extinct font.
Now the word "Phonoplast" is interesting, the best my fontfinders could come up with was: "Dratted If I know!" (the other word I used came up with a lot of *****´s)
So for this I used a Helvetica and mauled it to make it fit.
Now I have a 100% vector graphic and not a Pixel graphic so it can be scaled and printed in any resolution or size I need without pixelation.
