Getting graphics from a number plate copied

[Albie]

Hi guys I am after advice for help trying to get my original number dealer details replicated on to a 9 x 7 plate. It has David Robinson in very similar Cagiva font and the Elephant and would either like to send the file to a plate maker or just get a decal made up with the printed version.

Any help gladly received with software boffins who can eliminate the yellow and maybe add an old Ducati to the left hand side of it too.

How about this, whipped it up in Illustrator (I'm a Graphic Designer by trade haha)

Please excuse the Ducati logo, it's based on the above photo. So I need to try find a sharper image.

Albie, if you're getting it vinyl printed, they will likely need it in an outline format for their cutting machines. As for getting it added to a number plate I'm not sure. Can you give me till Monday to sort out the Ducati logo, I'd like to find a better version, so it's perfect 😊

Absolutely yes.

An interesting history of the Ducati logo:

Swipe the picture left to see the other 40 odd images.

The elefant had been dropped from the name badges by '93, though was still the logo for Cagiva and the bikes were still covered in them.

Very intereting article.
Thanks

I got these through the post today printed by specialist old decal providers I say ding dong ltd who made my agip oil service ones too.

They are printed on clear but had to get Shuffy to assist on that but thanks to Tim and Chris I can have the dealer on new number plate correct size for stock mount frame. I did add the Ducati because I wanted balance.
3 were done in case of number plate choice Perspex or aluminium and messing up.

Very nice, but are you sure that's the phone number you want Albie?

'Phone Day' when the 01 was reintroduced for London was on 16th April '95.

Between 06th May 1990 and then the Outer London numbers started with 081.

Yes its about keeping it where it was sold from to me , maybe 1995 onwards. Me and Spacemonkey have similar registrations and we think same dealer originally sold was Aygee's in Welling. David Robinson still sells Ducati bikes I believe. I did think about contacting the shop but have not yet done so.
Its obviously been on the bike that number plate for a few years and I don't want to lie about its history and make it up to age it for no gain.
Its purely about getting a correct 9 x 7 plate made again not too small cannot fit on frame without cutting frame re-welding and painting.
