    Default small logos and very small text

    hi, new to the board

    I'm managed to get hold of LAN adapter for one of my consoles and decided to integrate it with my pc. At the moment it looks pretty dull so i've decided on customizing it.

    I'm not too sure what kind of plastic the console is made of, it might be some type of ABS resin i've been told. I have an idea of how to paint it and achieve something decent looking, what I'm stuck with is the console logo's and markings. I've posted some pictures below to give an idea of the size/scale of these. I've checked out a few resources and found the following -

    one option may to use some type of transfer, either a waterslide, rub on or press fix. I'm not familiar with modding so im not sure how well these would work, durability wise. The console pad would be getting alot of use, would these eventually rub off?

    I know there's no way a template could be used to spray over due to the size of the text. Just wanted to know if anyone else could point me in the right direction or has attempted something similar, i really want to retain the logos/markings. Its a real pain

    Almost forgot to mention that I have these logos in a vector format.

    Thanks for reading

    The windows CE will be a problem, its tiny.

    i would print them out on a thin transparent plastic, stick it on the surface and clearcoat several layers on top of the whole surface for an even effect.
