Default made my own tank sticker
I didnt really like the tank emblem that came on my Bob.....I wanted something a little more subtle. I have a small sticker cutter so I decided to cut out a vinyl decal in black vinyl.
You almost cant see it unless the light hits it, which is exactly what I wanted.

I'm going to ponder the size and position for a while before I do the other side.

Looks pretty good. I'd like to see a pic from a little further back to get the full effect.

Good Job.

I agree with 16over. Need to see it from a little farther back. Very cool idea though.

Love it. Looks like an updated version of the cool fxdx tank sticker. Nice!

You could've bought black reflective tape. During the day you would barely see it and when the light reflected off it at night it would be white.

Check this link and look at the pics on the right

I worked on it a bit more tonight....I decided to use a different font and make it a bit smaller.
I think this one's a keeper.

Did you cut that out by hand???? Do you have someway of printing your font directly to the vinal decal?
