So I’ve been thinking about generic decals and a cool head badge to spruce up my mystery vintage road bike I picked up this summer. T-Mar helped narrow down a few things, Japanese build most likely and my LBS thinks it might be a Miyata but the serial number is one that T-Mar was stumped on and I’m still not sure what this mystery frame is. I guess I’m going to think about just finding a cool old head badge and think up something cool in the way of decals to put on the bike.
I’ll take any cool ideas or suggestions.

These guys https://www.sssink.com/ make replacement decals for Litespeed and any number of other brands. Also looks like if you're willing to fork over the $$$ they'll make you a custom. I was looking into replacement decals for a 97 Ultimate and found what I wanted on Litespeed's website with a reference to the maker. Haven't bought them yet so I cant speak to quality.

...there's a guy selling vinyl lettering online with a relatively creative and flexible do it yourself font designer on the website here.

Just when I was thinking decals made with the old "1970s T-Shirt" font would be cool...
