Looks like AB's buddy also does some JBL water-slide style. Maybe we can get him to do them for us. If not, there's a fellow in Alabama who does custom guitar decals. We could ask him.

Yes they look a bit different.They must be hard to produce otherwise they would have been made already I a reckon.

He has them already but they aren't exact IMHO... Take a look for comparison.The bottom part of the C looks off.

That is a different Font. Probably the closest he could find that is readily available. Of course Altec may have had different versions over time.

I posted the artwork for that logo a few years ago. This link will get you to a small version hosted at photobucket. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...cLineSmall.jpg I have the original autocad file somewhere so I can add the thickness to the outer lines. if need be.

Very nice, Marty. Me like!

Agree, the lines could be about twice that thick. That gives us a beautiful, clean start.
AB, your decal looks good - is it self adhesive vinyl? I don't see any clear around it. Was it die cut?

(Also, can you split this off into its own Group Buy thread?)

I can furnish a clean macro photo of the Melodist decal if that would be any help in verifying the vector file.

I could use some of those decals...I have a 618 cab that could use a fresh one.altecdecal.jpg

Well.... I found most of the drawing. I shortened up the "tail" to match the pictures that have been posted. (mine was drawn over an older printed material scan) I think the line weight looks right now but you all can judge. It is easy to change so no big deal if it is wrong. I cant find the interior lettering but as I remember a slightly manipulated Arial font fit over the original well with the exception of the "s" Here is a link to a Jpeg http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...Alteclogo3.jpg
