Hi all,

I am in the process of making a new decal for my motorbike.

I have butchered many images to come up with this but when I choose a black background the CB600F looks a bit fuzzy, will also need to stretch this a little bit when it comes to printing it.

Any ideas how I can achieve this whilst keeping the image looking sharp?

Thanks

If you create it using vectors (ie the Pen Tool) it will be infinitely scalable.

Yeah, I created it by print screening several images and compiling them together Confused

Any other way around it? Can't find the fonts that i need to create a new one

Yep, now you have to use the Pen Tool to trace the shape.

If you have illustrator also you can use 'live trace' to trace the shape. it's not perfect but gives you a good starting point. You then create a vector like the above posted suggested.
