The only problem with printing them yourself is that you can't print white, silver, or gold without a very special printer. But otherwise, it works really well. Here's one I did:

Wow, Nicely done!

I really need to redo my Colnago Super, and it's possible there might be an online source for readymades, but I'd love to try my hand at it. Problem would be that Super I have has the White Background Panel for the Logo type on both the Seattube and the downtube - like you say, white is a problem. Wonder if I can find a decal material with a white substrate???
The head tube badge should be relatively easy - just gotta get the colors right.
This DIY stuff has really come a long way.
