I have the sizing ov erhte underlay and the tranparncy I wish to use ready..
but i cannot seem to find a perfect God head logo or marauder lettering graphic to put in place of the 'aeroforce lettering"
much like "QWK SVT" did... and the mock up he did on the site here is gone...

can anyone help provide me with good grapihcs... i'd be willing to share gauge underlay file when im done....

Let me see if I can dig up the one I used... I don't have it handy, here at work. I have the GH logo at home, and will post if someone doesn't beat me to it.

PS - For the overlay, you will find that the light from the display will shine through, even the parts printed in black. You will need to use a "backing" for the new overlay, that you print on the transparency paper. I used electrical tape, as it will completely block the light and is very thin. You could, if you were so inclined, set it up so that the light shines through the printed logo, illuminating it at night. That is the next evolution of my overlay (hope to get some time to tinker within the next couple of weeks)...

Ya im an ACAD designer so...
Ill be doing this from an odd approach but now that I have my sizing and tempelate setup Im good to go...

to avoid shine thru have u tryed to leave the stock underlay "under" the new new transparency underlay?

Haven't seen the mentioned previous graphic, however, for your consideration .....
