Has Anyone created their own stickers the same as original stickers.
I would like to recreate the Kawasaki fairing sticker and the Ninja sticker
for my GPX250,
can anyone tell me what the size and type of font for the kawasaki name
the ninja name, this is two colours , red on the inside and white on the outer.
Also at the bottom of the fairing is in red the letters GPX

Hi Whaka
The typefaces used by large corporations such as kawasaki are changed & have vairations to the characters to enable copyright on a specific typeface... you will not find the exact typeface on your computer or be able to dowload!
We have all the graphics you require on file & for us to do them we would require from you the sizes & colours you want.... cost for 1 set (6 stickers) $60 + postage
Check out my site

Hia Spud we have used BOTW for a few years now besat damn freebee site around for larger companys logos
Only Prob is the vector artwork tends to have imperfections when you have a close look...... we allways have to clean up downloaded images from them!

It must be the worlds best protected font.... no amount of google'ing has found it..... I would have thought that someone would have at least created a TTF file or something close to the 'ninja' font.....

Its very close to other fonts as you can see. I made copys for mine using two layers of vinyl but you would never notice.
