Decals

Some Stooge should make up a 'generic' decal sheet:

0 - 10 dial ticks
-5 ro +5 dial ticks
Key words like:

INPUT
OUTPUT
CV IN
AUDIO IN
etc etc etc

Instead of 1 giant sheet per module, a "cut and paste" approach.

And the MOTM font is Alternate Gothic 2.

Yes, I agree.  Individual decals.  However, from what I have seen, a
silver / black might be good.  Yes, yes it will look different, but still
nice.  I will look into this.  
Some stooge.

Wouldn't white marking on clear sheets be better?  It would then match
lettering from an electronic labeler.  A standard decal sheet could never
account for all the possible variations in signal and pot names in a custom
panel.  I used an electronic labeler for a Synthesizer.com custom panel.  It
works okay but is somewhat dimmer than silk screen lettering.  I'm not sure
I want to muck up my prized MOTM system with decals, though.

I have never much cared for the look of a clear decal applied on top of a
textured paint panel.  But, I am just one opinion.  I would certainly love
to hear what everyone has to say on the subject.  I think these could be
cool for one-off DIY panels.  What about this.  There is a company in
Cincinnati that does thin metal trim with screening on them.  What if these
could be made thin enough to slip behind the pot nuts?  Thoughts please from
anyone interested in stickers.

I would try dry transfers.  Datak makes tick marks of different sizes and 
styles, panel markings, text and also prefab words.  Their "amateur radio" 
sheet has many words used on a synth, and for those it doesn't have, you can 
just use individual letters.
