Printing decals to use as templates for resray

I want to respray an old single speed I have, and I have access to a Vinyl cutter.

 

But where can one get the font and logos to print the stickers for the frame? 

 

Does anyone on the hub know if there is an easy way to get the files for eg a Giant OCR decal kit?

 

Rather than trying to work out what font they use and spending hours finding the correct logo etc on the web and then printing it only to see it is too big or small?

Surely the "access to a Vinyl cutter" would have software to produce the template required, i.e. vector based software (Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc)?

 

Just get the person to trace/redraw the logo.

 

Otherwise try www.brandsoftheworld.com/ and see it the logos are there - already in vector format.

Your best bet is to vector these in illustrator. That's what I would do. They're pretty simple.

The typefaces will be hard to identify but not impossible.

You will be hard pressed to find exactly what you need.

Especially proprietory typefaces used in logos.

But if you are resourceful enough...

You can re-create them from scratch using stuff found free online.

It seems the typeface for the giant logo has already been identified.

But note that the G has been cropped a little.

Another reason why I say re-creating this stuff in Illustrator is a much better option.

100%  have CorelDraw etc, but did not know where one could find the logo to trace :-)

 

Will try the site you suggested thanks

Type in Giant OCR and Giant in the website and you'll find files there.

I found an EPS file there for the Giant OCR.
