I also used a local Fast Signs. I had a custom logo artwork electronically.
For a nominal fee they tweaked it, converted it to several formats and gave me
a copy.
Nice thing about using them is the logo is scalable. 56 inches for the boat,
26 inches for the truck. When I had Touche' painted, I just had them print 2
new 56 inch decals. When I bought a new Suburban, I had them print 2 new 26
decals for the rear side windows. Easy.
I think two 56 inch decals in 4 colors was less than $90.
Been thinking about a couple of logos for my dock box.
If you want really good decals, find out which local sign shop does the police
and sheriff's vehicles in your area.
