Yeah the retropi logo i found on google is already in png without background. So it's just a matter of finding the right size i guess.
The paper i found on amazon doesn't need a clear coat.

Sounds like a breeze :D

reduce the size of the image you already have in what ever software your using (photoshop or paint)

make a few different sizes, print on a normal piece of paper and cut them out and see what size looks good...

then print on the decal paper....

if you have a laser printer then you wont need to apply clear coat....
if its a inkjet, you will.... no matter what the paper states that you got from Amazon...

Retro pie sticker

The S, W interaction with that font.. Something about it seems off.

fixed the font.
the W still looks like an upside down M (that might be the look your going for)

if you google SNES font, you should be able to download it and use it in whichever software your using...


here how the W comes out via the SNES font....

Thank you so much VeteranGamer.

i would never have imagined that there would be a specific font for this.

i'll take a new picture with the screen tonight, and i hav to agree that this is much much better than what i have done so far.
