I've been following your posts about this set from the beginning.
I called it then "the winner of the month". It's more likely "the winner of the year".
What a find and what a gorgeous set, congratulations.
I've read in one of your previous posts that you were looking for the "old style" Gretsch logo with the stretched "T". I agree with you that it would look smashing on this kit. I have an early 60's RB where I have that logo on the BD front head.
I couldn't find them neither so I hand drew one on the head with a black marker. With a bit of a steady hand, it isn't that difficult and from 3 feet away you would swear it's the real thing.
Another option would be to go to a local sign maker. Even with the low resolution logo attached, I'm sure a graphic designer could make a vector based logo out of it and make you a die cut vinyl sticker.
