Title: Best way for printing mini stickers for USB Hub which will have N64,SNES,.logos
Post by: mrclean on November 08, 2007, 11:39:49 am
What I would like to do is basically label a USB Hub with all the USB Adaptors / controllers that I have plugged into them with the respective logo's of each joy.. N64 Logo, SNES, NES, PSX, SEGA GENESIS,TURBO GRAFX. So how should i print these out? I was thinking dvd disc labels and just cutting them into squares? Where can i get the cleanest logo's that are vectors?

Interestingly, try Wikipedia.org for some of them. I just took a look at N64 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nintendo_64_Logo.svg), SNES (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SNES_logo.svg) and Playstation were all vectorized. One exception I found was the Genesis. I didn't bother looking at any others.

Hello MrClean!

for the substrate, any auto adhesive material that you can print on will be fine.
** be careful if you print them with your inkjet, to make them water proof, unless they are located where no one will touch them...
So your disc label idea seems good!

Why do you want vectors?
having a standard jpg/img/bmp/gif would gives a good result since it's relatively small?

Yeah, a good quality jpg will work fine for small stickers.  Vectorizing that wouldn't make a ton of difference unless you want identical printouts that are much bigger as well.
