Gauge cluster decal thoughts

I have been rebuilding some clusters and starting to work on a couple that need decals on some of the faces. Was thinking they could use a little pop. This is what I came up with and printed a few to see how they would look. What do you guys think? I wanted it to look like what is on our tailgates.

Re: Gauge cluster decal thoughts

I like it, but I think it would be really cool if the left one said Chevrolet as you have, and the right one said C/10 or K/10 or whatever the model of the truck would be!

Re: Gauge cluster decal thoughts

Looks good

Did you find the correct font, or did you make up the letters yourself? I have tried to find the correct font, but have been unsuccessful.

Re: Gauge cluster decal thoughts

The lettering is something I had in my collection if vector artwork. Was called Chevrolet C10 of all things. I had thought about something different for each side once I saw this together but was not sure that's why I wanted some feed back. Was even thinking of doing some faux gauges like the tach and vacuum. Keep the ideas coming. I'll ad them to my offerings.

Did the artwork for C-10 and K-10. So those will be the next test print.

I would do a bow tie on one side so you don't have redundancy .

Re: Gauge cluster decal thoughts

Got a cluster done with the latest idea for a set based on ideas from this thread. Let me know if you like it.
