Title: PC Engine GT - Rear Sticker
Post by: MuNaught on March 19, 2022, 08:14:28 AM

I have been unable to source replacement stickers for the back of the PC Engine GT.

If someone can upload a high resolution photo or scan, I can work towards cleaning it up, and having a batch made.

This is a very nice idea!

Mine is a bit...
Suffering, I hope someone with a clean nice one will chime in.

I've got a high res scan here of my own machine which has a nice intact sticker, but it's 50meg and I'm not sure where to host it. :-k

Thanks folks. I will create a vector file (without serial number) in the coming days and report back.

Did you get anywhere with this MuNaught?

I was interested in the idea and looked around for sticker manufacturers and there are plenty on offer. The trick I guess would be to find one that prints on the right type of silver satin metal material.

It is still on my list, I just honestly haven't had time. Perhaps I can tackle it this weekend.

I finally had a chance to work on this. Font matching proved to be a challenge, this is as close as I could get after hours of searching. It's not perfect, but it is very close.

The source file is entirely vector so it can be scaled to billboard size with no loss of quality.

If someone would be so kind as to take a video rotating the sticker under a fairly bright light, I would appreciate it. That will give me a rough idea of the type of sheen it needs to be.
