OK, so i have my pc all set up with a biohazard theme with a biohazard window applique, case badge, etc so here is what i want to do. The sticker over my keyboard leds that tell me whether caps lock or num lock are on has the logo of the company that made the keyboard. I want to replace that logo with a biohazard symbol. I'm sure that there is no standard size for this sticker so buying one would be out of the question. But does anyone know what type of plastic these stickers are made of??? I just figure i'll make my own custom one and replace the factory one. Likewise my Logitech Optical mouse has a Logitec Logo with a blue LED behind it and i thouhgt it'd be cool to replace the logitech logo with a biohazard symbol. If anyone has any knowledge on what kind of plastics, adhesives or stickers i should use any help would be appreciated

Thats a cool idea. I like that alot. I have no idea what they are made of but I think if you were to take one to a plastic store, they should be able to tell you about it. Maybe even they can make you one possibly? I know of "Regel Plastics" based in Fort Worth, TX. Im sure theyre are other plastic specialty shops but I just dont know of any...

Another place you can try to get one made is at: http://www.shadowmajik.com

I know they make custom badges so they might be able to make one that fits your needs.

Id like to see what you come up with at the end, again great idea.

There is a pretty decent guide to making your own decals Here. (http://www.bit-tech.net/article/88/) Although this site is in the UK, it may give you ideas as to what to look for.

:D try this goto a hobby store and get a shrinky dink, the plastic stuff that you bake. but dont bake it. cut to the size you like. (if u have a dremel this might be easier) then print what you want in reverse onto a clear adhesive label, apply to the backside of the plastic, then put it in place.
hope this helps!
