Default I wasn't happy with the C5 Jake decals on eBay, so I made my own

The newer C7.R Jake is way better looking than the one introduced with the C6. The vinyl decals you see on eBay are typically the C6.R Jake with the C5 flags. I've gotten used to seeing the C7.R logo and so I took some time and photoshopped in the C5 flags into the C7 Jake. I had a buddy with a vinyl cutter print me up some decals for my C5 halo and some other places. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, even though my conversion to a raster graphic format wasn't perfect.

Great job on the decal
I think that GM would have a problem with you making and selling them on your own without their consent$.

Lets not get this thread off track - unless the OP intends to become a supporting vendor, he is not allowed to sell those emblems here on the forum. Not saying that his intent is to offer them up for sale, but just giving a caution. And yes, GM may have an issue with copyright laws, etc.

No intention to sell, just sharing my ideas with the community. Thanks for the kind words!

Looks good for any application other than a corvette.

What I mean is, I would use that emblem on something else, just not my car.

I hate the "jake" logo with a passion...so cartoony and makes our cars look tacky and like kids toys, IMO.

it equivalent to the tacky Camaro Transformers themed logos.

It looks like some kind of transformers logo, but if you know the history and its association with Corvette racing, I think it's pretty cool.

wait, so you're telling me that those Camaros with the Transformer front emblem aren't really transformers?
