I'm trying to design a decal for my /6 scamp. The car will be painted soon and I'm thinking of replacing the "scamp" decal with a custom decal. I know I'm not the first to change the "bee" into a 6; but I can't find them for sale so decided to mock two up. These are my rough up copies with limited editing software, If I decide to have them made, I'd have a pro do the modifications. I'm interested in some feedback....what do you like? what would you change? Is this silly?

Before I give my 2 cents let me say I can appreciate the time it took to make those. That being said I like the one on the bottom with the exhaust but the pipes are coming out on the wrong side but your on the right track.

how about these…I'm imaging them on front fenders, same size as stock "scamp" decals.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I'm thrilled that others may want some. I'll let you know more about costs after I get a firm number from the print shop. I decided that I didn't want the purple color round background so I edited further… This is what I have at this point. I just printed on regular paper to show size comparison with original decals. I'm also going to look into printing some smaller size as window decals….

I'd take four.

Good work on the designs.
The wheel almost looks like a number six.

I think the helmet should be white to stand out like the original bee helmet, and if ya could make the reflection on the wheel cover look more like a 6.

I'd like four of 'em.

The order has already been placed with the sign shop. I do like the idea of changing the wheel to look more like a six. I may call and see about that, but I suspect it is too late to change. But the good news is that I think I got a good price on the them! I ordered some extra and will update this link when they are in hand.
