I first found anytimesign via ebay when I ordered some reflective 1/8" pin stripping for my Vetter touring/luggage pieces. In my initial order they included a business flyer. The flyer is lost in my house somewhere, but I remember that they were an actual print shop. When I wanted to order some custom decals for my bike I remember there shop and the fact that they stock the 3M 3200 reflective material.

After a few emails and Q&A's, I got started on my multiple custom decals. The decals were finalized inside Illustrator CS4. Some where made from scratch in Photoshop and/or Illustrator; others started as scanned/downloaded pictures that were eventually converted to vectors.

After designing over a dozen custom patches, I learned about the "outline path" tool in Illustrator. It was the perfect tool for designing these decals.

The initial "design/color scheme" for all of the decals was borrowed from the Vetter emblems I had painted in the same color scheme earlier this season. The painted decals look OK, but the white paint is not even on all 4 emblems. Additionally I wanted matching fairing logos and something similar for my side panels and gas tank.

I'll probably post the finished results in my Vetter post or a separate post later.

As far as price, I didn't exactly research local vendors because I knew anytimesign had the material I wanted and was willing to work with me. Based on the pricey material, small batch printing, decal outline cutting and transfer paper I'm happy with the overall price. (~$40 shipped for 19 individual decals - 8 actual designs).

These are the plastic badges I painted that inspired the decals:
