I'm looking for a computer program for designing the decals. Could you please recommend me a good computer program?

Checked out inkscape on YouTube and at first glance it looks doable. I might get it and have a bit of a play around with it.Β

However, there are plenty of videos to be found on YT if you search for 'Making logos with Inkscape|Illustrator/...'

Hi @Russ,

You want to use a vector based drawing application such as inkscape ( free ) or Adobe Illustrator ( $ ) There are others, but I use inkscape.
Maybe someone else have other alternatives to share?

Cheers @koendb. I'll check them out. I'm a bit of a technophobe but hopefully I'll be able to work it out. πŸ‘πŸ˜‚Β
