Hi,

I'm a bit of a vintage decal / sticker pervert...  I want to search more decals in this style: the blinking colour changing background is what attracts me...

I don't know what the english word for this is + are there companies who still can make this sort of decals?  So I can desing something myself.

If you have stuff like this around, and you want to get rid of it, contact me.  Wink

Seems like that style used to be called Alpha Jewell.  The only one I have is plastered on the heater out in the garage with a few others.

In the '70s, we'd call it either rainbow tape or space tape. We had those plastered all over our skateboards, surfboards, and bmx bikes. I had a small one (forget which company) on the back of my orange '66, back then. Not many people use them anymore. But they DO pop up every now & then.
