Retro Layers
Retro Layers is a deco text template with 2 outline layers, 5-color gradient, warped shape - for stickers, T-shirt transfers, party signs and logos. Type your name or any words and get the same lettering, then export a cut file for Cricut or Silhouette, an SVG, or print-ready PDF.
Use this styleWhere this one works
Retro Layers is built for enamel-pin-style stickers, retro sign decals for a workshop or garage, and worn-look T-shirt logos. The gradient gives it more depth than a flat colour. A slightly aged, sign-painted feel. Because the words stay editable, it is quick to run off a set with different names on each one — the usual reason a design gets made twenty times.
How this look is built
- 2 outline layers (outermost first)
- #ff0000about 4.5% of the letter height
- #030f4fabout 2.8% of the letter height
- 5-colour gradient (90° angle)
- #e8a6bd
- #f8dde3
- #f6eeee
- #fbdada
- #f3c4c4
- Letterform changes
- strongly warped overall, thickened strokes
Tips for using it
- The outlines are generous, so the shape survives at small sizes — good for stickers and small decals.
- Gradients and gloss come through as-is in print (PDF or PNG). A cut file is split into flat colour layers, so the colour count decides how much assembly work it is.
What you can export
- PDF — print-ready, letters stay as shapes
- SVG — vector, sharp at any size
- PNG — social media and quick prints
- Cut file — SVG split into flat colour layers
