Where can I find the CHEVROLET tailgate log as pictured?

Is it your ebay store? :clapping:

No it's not, I just use GOOGLE (for anything), and it was just one of the hits.

I also use BOTW, however very often the vectors on BOTW are NOT accurate, and the "CHEVROLET" which was referred to in a post above is NOT the right one.

Most of the time I just use a tape measure or ruler (which I have attached magnets to the back), place it near the graphic and take a straight on photo using an 85mm lens (to eliminate distortion), then open the image in PS and scale to full size base on the full dimension. Then open the full size image and trace (dim the image to 50%) in Illy, bingo, I have a perfect vector image.

In the attached photo you can see how I created a full size Jeep Wrangler decal by first taking the photo straight-on (cater left to right, and up and down), with the magnetic backed ruler as reference, then scaled the image to full size in PS, then in Illy traced over the image to create the new vector file. One note, the SPORTS decal was installed crooked at the factory, that's why my red lines look off, because I made everything level.

also, without the right lens one can use PS:

- filter/lens correction/custom/remove distortion.

I'm completely serious. Do you order at a restaurant, discuss politics, talk to strangers with similar disdain? Or is this an "internet caricature" impersonating a codger of sorts. Don't get me wrong, it's entertaining either way.

OP is OK Artbot... he just has O.D.D. :Big Laugh As you get old your social filters decline and
your cap lock and keyboard keys tend to stick down. And... point taken... the logo is already
on the tailgate, but how about painting a © logo? If you cut it from vinyl or make a paint mask
and paint it or paint it with your shaky old hands>>>>>>>>>> it is still a violation. Right?
