How was the "Cannondale" lettering applied to the frame? Paint? Stickers?

If a stencil or vinyl was used. where did you get it?

Also, sub 16 is doable, my 60cm with stock wheels, tires, dork disc, and platform pedals weighed 17.5 at the shop the day I bought it. I'm a big guy so there's only so much I can do to safely be a weight weenie but I'm in the process of swapping the entire cockpit to Fizik 00 Carbon and about to pull the trigger on some 2015 Reynolds Assaults which combined should get me around 16.5lbs. Not bad for an xl aluminum framed bike.
