PAF sticker font?

Futura is the closest font I could find.

That looks as bad as the decal Gibson is making now Wouldn't fool anyone. Take a look at my avatar, thats a real low res version of the artwork I did for mine...

Ah, now the big question is if you haven't applied for a patent on something, can you legally put a sticker on saying you have?

And why do you guys want to even bother with this? Why not stick a big Gibson logo on your stuff then? Or maybe Gibson's patent number (for the LP tailpiece).

That's what it would look like the second it came off press. If you want it to look like a vintage forgery, you'd have to convert it to a vector file in Adobe Illustrator and tweak the shapes to look like a rough print job. Then, you could "age" it in Photoshop or use some other post-print aging technique. But I still believe the base font is Futura.

My sticker is going to say "PATENT I LIED FOR"

[David Schwab]

Mine say:

PATIENT APPLIED FOR



There's no such thing as 'sanity clause.

Mine say "if you can read this you're too close."

Actually they say, "this is a forgery, you were swindled."

My new ones are going to say "removal of this decal will destroy your tone."

Or...."Pepsi or Coke?"

Or, "this isn't Future Demibold"

Unbelievable, I just got in a pair of 1957 goldtop PAF's to fix, here's an actual photo of the decal.....

You know, I have a zillion fonts, and I don't have Futura in demibold. I have every other style imaginable. Weird.
