Cutting vinyl with my new Roland cutter

Posted by Fredrik in Blog

Earlier this summer, my father and I decided to get a vinyl cutter and set up a small workshop at my parents place. I borrowed one of these awesome machines for a few months last year, and although I don’t want to make it my living, it’s a nice break from digital design. With vinyl I actually produce a product I can smell and touch. For some reason I find that fascinating.

So far I’ve only printed a few test stickers, but I’ve already got a few orders from friends. Not really surprising, as basically all my friends are involved in motor sports in someway or another. Apparently stickers make a car faster and handle better, so who am I to tell them that Santa doesn’t exist :D

Luckily for me I’ve been collecting vectorized logos and graphics for a few years now, and so far I have ~700 or so. Most of them car related, but also most famous brands.

So if you need stickers for your car, or whatever else you would like to put stickers on, just let me know and I will cut you some.

THAT looks AWESOME!

Where did you find all those vectorized logos? And what kind of plotter/cutter/machine are you using to get that result? Can you post more of your workshop?

There are quite a few sites that offer a good collection of logos. Brandsoftheworld.com is a favorite. Another good tip is to find pdf-files from the company you want the logo from. They often contain a vectorized version of their logo ;)
