cool once its vector you/we can start looking at shops that have vinyl plotters/cutters. or send it to the guy in metro.
I have one at work, the program it uses can import .jpeg and auto trace the shape. But it would be better to vectorize it first, sometimes it loses details in the autotrace.

I should be able to cut these out for us

AssassinJN we need to talk about selling these

We should definitely start looking for a screenprinter for tshirts/hoodies though.

Shrinking of course is no problem. However with the way the bridge ends in thin air, as well as the left most building being cut off by the "edge" of the image, it would look kinda silly. As I change it all to vector I will start another version to see if I can make it work free standing, I already have an idea of how I want to do it, so I will check back in here over the weekend or early next week.

Ok, here is a modified version so that it can be freestanding (ends at the bottom instead of sides). Also this version comes from a completely vector based source.

Quick question about the plotters, do I need to combine all vector objects into a single object that has positive and negative space? As it is now some of the internal white space is separate white filled objects over top of a black filled object. It won't take long to combine, just wanted to know if I should spend the time or not.

Love the final design

I'm not sure if you need to combine the white spaces, but it sounds like it would be easier if you did. If you want, shoot me a PM for my e-mail and I'll import it into the program while I'm at work today. Maybe even cut out a test piece

In terms of color, I have black or white vinyl. The design is in black, but as a decal black may be too dark. I'll cut it out in both white and black and see how they come out.
