I'd happily make them for you if only I was not dramatically out of paper right now.
If you are not in a hurry...

Thanks very much James. I’ll see how long it takes me to get the graphics sorted out.

If you're starting from scratch learning vector software, I would also consider CorelDraw. I think it's easier, and far less costly.

Sorry, but it's another one Urban Legend. About "easier" – it was correct some decades and many, many versions ago. About "less costly" – hmm... it's about $ 500, which is equivalent to an almost two-year subscription to Adobe Illustrator CC.

Milan can make decals of excellent quality for you. Dimensions need to be sent to him. It has a very good price

Nope, you're wrong. I bought the 'Home & Student' version of CorelDraw X8 for ~80 euros. The version for commercial use is a lot more expensive indeed, but for drawing decals, 80 euros is all you spend, forever, no subscription extortion deals.

I'll contact him, thanks.

In theory it's all very straightforward: "ELF", "Tyrrell" & "GoodYear logos of various sizes, "PROJECT/34" Text, two white rectangles and a white circle.

Plus you get to use it on 4 (or 5?) PC's so you can share it with fellow modelers :wink:

May I see what logos need to be done? 99,9% probably I have them in my design stock... 8)
That does not prevent to encourage you to try Corel and Freehand or AI (I use Corel) to give a try at this and others, ypu'll enter a brave new world you'll see :D
