custom decal source? 1914 POPE

[Velodrome]

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.

Velodrome,

Try this guy. You will have to call him or email him to see if he has one but if he doesn't I would think that you will have to buy an original pope to get one. Not inexpensive but what I bought from him was absolutely first rate.

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?

How about a print shop they do all kinds of copping..........Curt

 

[Velodrome]

Yes Curt I think thats what I'll try next. I have a place not far from her call "Sign "O" Rama" they claim they can do anything. Well. We'll just SEE about that.

Helen Veica is a hellof a gal...

She’s been popular for over half a century!

And I'll never comment on a woman's weight...
