I took two frames to the painters yesterday, a Colnago and a Cinelli-look-alike.

The painter has a "printer" that cuts out outlines on single color decals. His software (or his skill set) does not enable him to cut jpegs drawings or eps/ai outlines.

But what he can do is "print" decals from text.

The closest COLNAGO typeface I could find on my computer was Bold Bookman Old Style. Is there a letterset that better matches the COLNAGO logo? The C and G on the COLNAGO logo are hard to match in the same typeface.

I used Comic Sans for my "Chineli" - but should I ever be so lucky, is there a typeface that perfecrtly matches the Cinelli logo?
