Would anyone know what these stickers were, originally? All that's left of one one of them on my cabinet is a white rectangle, and the other just the ghost of an outline:

Ok, so what's the process to repro these? Special printer? Regular printer with special media?

Many people around here look to repro stickers like these. Folks like etienneodk have provided them in the past, but it would be nice if there was a tutorial or more info available to help others make their own.

They're pretty easy once you get those sheets. I take a good picture or a scan and bring it into GIMP as a layer, then make a new layer. On the new layer, I add the elements for the new sticker to match the positions, styles, graphics as closely as I can. It just takes some patience.
When I'm ready to print on the foil (after doing a few tests on regular paper), I cut an oversized piece of that foil sticker "paper" and tape it to the normal laser paper with kapton tape on all four sides, then feed it through the printer. You don't have to worry about the kapton melting in the fuser and you don't have to risk an entire sheet of that expensive Al foil sticker "paper."

Big ups for this thread. I've needed some stickers made but since etienneodk punched out, I thought I was stuck. Making the order now.

Just out of curiosity is the a place that people can download these sticker files? It just seems that once someone creates it "we" should have then available for future use. I have unlimited Gdrive and could store recreated files and create a link section so they are always available. Just my thought.

Well I've been bumping my Atari label thread every couple days/weeks but it looks like I should've just posted here. Is it possible for me to get some of these made for my custom Atari cabarets? My thread:
ATARI Cabaret Model Numbers/ Serial Tags
Hey fellas, just trying figure out what differences in the model numbers and serial tags the cabarets had vs the uprights. I ordered a Centipede Cabaret manual thinking it would give me an idea, but as of yet I haven't found any helpful info. I am trying to design serial tags for my...

I agree. These would be a valuable resource to share. I've made a half dozen or so that I could post.

Finally got my Galaxy Blue Logo "Atariized". Now who's ready to print this bitch?

What are you wanting it printed on and what size?
Phetishboy

I'd like to have them done on foil stock like Atari did. And I want them printed about the same size as the Atari stickers. I'd also like to have actual Atari stickers printed with my model and serial numbers on it and my logo replacing the UL logo. I just have to put those together in illustrator.

I can print them as regular stickers. I do not have any foil stock so I cannot do that at the moment. How many stickers are you looking to print and the actual size?

I'll get with you via PM. Thanks!
Do you(or anyone else) know if the first label was the same across all(or some) games? We're the patent numbers the same for all Atari games, or just the ones that used the same tech(vector, raster, blah)?

I don't know. I just copied the originals from my Pole Position. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are many variants.

I should add: if you want to make these, be sure to get the MATTE finish Al sticker sheets.
