Hi all,

I've been working on a Packard Bell specifications sticker template, specifically the 1995 version. Thought I should make it available here for anyone who's old PB lost its sticker nearly 3 decades ago!

The Adobe Illustrator file is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/107Y4cMu_UQPq … QWDxsZnSjs6Gjmr

PDF here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tYeN7l1Z-BXB … ZTR_TLvlt6M0rHp

I haven't been able to find a perfect match for the font, but FreeSet is very close (and available to download free here: https://www.wfonts.com/font/freeset).

Just a note on the design. I worked off a few sticker designs, but based the final one on the 1995 version on PB Planet (http://pbplanet.info/wiki/index.php/Packard_B … Sticker_Designs).

Having looked at a few designs from this era, I see the original designers played loose with the line and character spacing, so don't feel too restricted regarding those. I reckon they just went with whatever was expedient and visually pleasing.

I remade the halftone Navigator screenshot - it's not perfect but, again, close. It's in vector format so should print perfectly at any size.

Any questions just ask!
