The boys at work messed with my Miller sticker, so I fixed it. American Pie style.

I used to collect stickers, then one day last year, I went to an auction.
I picked up a vinyl cutter for $90 (including computer and software)

Now, I make all sorts of creative stickers, just for the fun of it.

Would you be interested in making "one-off" custom stickers in small batches?
I'd think a few among us would pay a premium to have exactly the sticker we want...

That's certainly a possibility. If you want to save money.
You provide the artwork and I can cut the vinyl at low cost.
This is the free software that I use. https://inkscape.org/en/
The software works on Windows, Mac and Linux.

You will also do the weeding, as I hate this part of the job. :roll:
"Weeding" is the removal of the unwanted portion of the decal after the vinyl is cut.
After the decal is weeded, you then have to apply a transfer tape, to put the decal on to the final product.

A vinyl cutter is one of those machines you never knew you needed till you get one. Not sure if anyone would want to, but if you put a vinyl sticker on leather, say the back of your welding jacket, you can use a heat gun and make it stick. It's how they put sponsors logos on racing leathers that are not sewn on.

Man, offloading all the heavy lifting [WINKING FACE]. Just don't forget to send them the transfer tape for after the weeding.

This is my $1500 Mobile Billboard. It's a small work shop on wheels.
With a vinyl cutter, I can easily advertise any business that I choose.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.
