1989 - 1991 Gary Fisher stickers/decals - HELP!

I'm currently restoring my 1990 Gary Fisher AL-1 (Bottom photo)

I bought it in 1992 with the paint stripped off and with black Answer Accu-trax forks, which looked cool for 25 years but I decided to paint and restore it, although not to original spec (I don't like the colours)

I decided to powder coat the frame, forks and stem in bright red instead of the original turquoise or royal blue, I have no idea which colour mine was originally.

There aren't any decals from that period for sale on the internet, the name Fisher is integrated in front of a graphical mountain background


From 1991 the full Gary Fisher name was used with the same style of background.



I bought some modern Gary Fisher stickers from the final generation before Trek stopped the brand and did a Photoshop sketch (below)

I work in design and am starting to get the hang of using Adobe Illustrator which is the software Graphic designers use to create bike stickers. I was thinking that it would look better if I recreated the original graphics digitally so that I could send the veector file to a sticker specialist for printing. I have been collecting images from the internet however the results won't be the most accurate which is why I started this thread.

If you own or know someone who owns a Gary Fisher from 1989-90 would it be possible for you to trace the logos with tracing paper, add dimensions and then scan them? I will create a vector file so that it will be available for everyone who want's to restore their bike.

It's mainly the down tube "Fisher" logo that I need a tracing and dimensions for.
I can recreate the head/seat tube badge easily but I need the correct dimensions.
There is the 7005 aluminium sticker to recreate too (I worked out that it measures 35 x 75 mm, is that right?)
Then the final little "Made in Japan, designed by Gary Fisher" sticker dimensions will be useful.

If you can help that'd be great!

The tubing sticker:

Made in Japan, designed by Gary Fisher

How the original looked

The AL-1 graphic and head badge design are in this ad but what are the dimensions?

I'd like to make a sticker like this but I'd swap the black and silver areas.

Like I mentioned previously, the only way I am going to find replacement stickers for my bike restoration is to create them myself, so here is what I have managed to do in Adobe Illustrator using photos recovered from the internet as reference.

To be able to send them off to the sticker makers, I need to make them the correct size, this is where you can help me.

The images I used were mostly close ups of stickers wrapping around frame tubes, I've done my best to allow for distortion but I need someone who has a 1989-90 Gary Fisher to take a tailor's tape measure and measure the actual (flat) dimensions of the stickers.
To make the stickers perfect, it would be great if someone could spend a bit of time to trace the graphics using tracing paper and a pencil as precisely as possible, then scan and post it in this thread.

I've listed each required dimensions with a letter, please reply like this:
A = XX mm
B = XX mm
etc.

Thank you in advance for your help.

If you have a different model and would like me to add the name to the decal set, please post high definition photos of the logo and provide the dimensions.

Fantastic! I don't mind waiting a few weeks.
Although all my effort seems pointless now!
Never mind, it was a good exercise to learn Illustrator.

Been a fan of the early fishers for some time, so the artworks were drawn up a while ago...

You should have just asked
