K... Not convinced this should be in this section but figured if anybody knew about vintage reproduction stickers it would be here. Mods; feel free to move to shop n swap if appropriate. Im looking for a reproduction Pope motorcycle head badge. I have a water transfer for the seatpost but have never been able to find one for the headbadge; and they are quite differnet. Heres a pic of what Im looking for. I searched the web for a bit but nothing specific to pope and water transfer really popped ( Poped? ) up.

Handy with Photoshop? Or know a graphic artist?

You’ve actually have a pretty good reference photo if you wanted to recreate it yourself, and you can buy inexpensive water slide decal paper that will work in a inkjet printer...

And considering the resolution of ink jet’s your image doesn’t even really need to be vector based, just something simple to work with like a .tiff or .psd at around 200 dpi.

The colors will be slightly muted which actually will give it a bit of an antiqued feel. The biggest compromise will be the lack of the fine metallic flake look of the gold color shown.

BTW, the fonts look alot like just different weights of Helvetica.

Not so much Mr. B. I can barely turn this thing on and make it work. I may have a sign co in my area that can do it though. Who's Helvetica and why she weigh so much? laff
