Thank you all for the input. This was not intended to be a replacement for true professional work, only a quick tutorial for people like me who have never did this kind of work and their budget precludes the use of a professional. I honestly cannot say that this is great, or even good output. However, this specific decal measures 3.4 x .75 inches on the bike, so I am confident that it will be sufficient for my use. My refinisher specifically asked for a vector file in .eps format. Whether this will fit that bill remains to be seen when I take it to them.

I know that a real graphic artist could do better in much less time, but this forum seems to be all about people learning new things and maybe this could help someone else one day.

Here are the other two decals I made, the first being the downtube decal and the next being the head badge.
