I need to make something simple to put on the cruiser that I've been wanting to do for a long time now...

Just text, single color.
 
Why does it have to be custom? You can buy those little rainbow stickers just about anywhere.

:gay:
 
Thanks guys..
 
Sorry to hi-jack, but.....are stickers able to be pattened?
I should say slogans, i guess. Of course a Warn or Rancho sticker shouldnt be copied, but could you "coin" a catchy wheeling slogan and get a patten on a sticker?

You should be able to copyright or trademark the slogan/design/logo/etc. I don't think you can get a patent though.
 
Brent does great work! He does all of my decals.

Not exactly. Trademark maybe. http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ34.html

Even if you could, the Costs of doing so really aren't all that Beneficial unless you're going all out with a full Marketing Campaign, Shirts, Stickers, Posters, Anything and everything you a can think of.

I looked into it for a certain phrase and it was like $5k-$10 to get a true Patent/Copyright.

Now with WARN and Rancho, they are Businesses and What's Protected with them when it comes to reproducing their name is the Logo Design. I can make Stickers all day long that have the word Warn or Rancho in them, just not an EXACT reproduction of their logo.
