Needed 'Bird logos for my BaCHs. I've done this for Fender logos. This is a waterslide decal.
Take a head on photo of the real thing. The ruler is parallel to the wing tips, parallax makes it look off. Note right wing funkiness
Photoshop using grid and transform gets the bird squared up. Contrast/brightness cleans up the image. Right wing still needs repair
Sized down to exact dimensions of original. Left wing copied, flipped over and pasted over bad wing.
I have a standard 8 1/2 x11 template that I use to fit as many decals on one sheet of clear decal paper as possible. For this run I decided to hatch six. I use an ink jet printer. Before the clear nitro coats that seal the waterbased ink.
Clear coated
30 minutes later, some schmutz on the clear but hey, it's Monday morning.
BaCH guard with Tyrolean scrolls removed and decal waterslid on
The copy is the same size as the original (89mm wide) but the lines are very slightly thicker.
