I finally have the finishing touch for my (2) Kustom 2x12" + 2x10" cabinets. I bought some covers from Custom Amplifier Covers. They even had the 3x12 sized "tuck & roll" cabinets listed in their amplifier and cabinet listings. I wanted to add the Kustom logo to the covers - to show my "Kustom pride", and to also identify the front from the back. My fiancé's son works for a sign shop, and I supplied him with a tracing of a Kustom nameplate, and also a photograph of the plate. We determined what size they should be, and he delivered a perfect vinyl adhesive decal. I put them on the covers tonight - I am VERY satisfied with the finished product !.

Concerning cost, he did them for me "gratis", but I will ask him and find out. Would any more of you out there be interested in these decals ? I am kinda leery about selling these, because of copyrights and such !

You know with us collectors everything is about keeping stuff as original as possible, the logo thing I would worry about copy rights.. unless you start putting logo's on your own amps Smile Allot of us have after market covers.. this would make them even sweater Smile

Lets keep this under the covers so to speak as the current owners of the Kustom logo may give there legal department some new work if you get my drift!
It is nice to have a sourse for these though.

I had some t-shirts made for the Kollectors get together last year. The lady that did them wouldn't do it until she checked with the owners of Kustom. The word Kustom in the familiar style they didn't have any problem with. But, they did care about the Kustom Kat figure. They gave us permission, but only for a limited number.

I would want a cut out stencil with that Kustom part removed so I could lay the stencil on my covers and spray paint the new logo on. That would be handy as heck and they can't get you for that as you aren't selling a finished product! The decals look very nice. We do have a member here guys that can make these as well, he made them for me and even did Kustom Bart all in the Kustom Font and added the Kat with it...it turned out very Kool.
