Revisit FORMULA GP decal

I went back and revisited my Formula PG logo attempt. I was sent an unused, multi-color, FORMULA GP decal from Mark LaMaskin, I pulled measurements and angles from this sample to make my new single tone replica.

For those keeping tabs, this was an 1987 through 1989 decal.

Recreating vintage “Hunter Engineering” logo

One of the main issues I had with recreating the Hunter Engineering logo was finding as example of this vintage asset to pull measurements from. I was sent an used Hunter sticker from Mark LaMaskin, using this as a guide, I modified a standard font, built the shield in three parts, and with the handy pen tool spent time creating the man and doggie silhouettes.

For those keeping tabs, this was a 1987 and 1988 decal.

Recreating 1988 ‘Conversion’ Sticker

My drivers door was cut and gutted for weight savings.

My “paper draft #2” (right) of a new conversion decal. Font is a little too bold, but I am close to success.
