Dotted Marquee
Dotted Marquee is a deco text template with 2 outline layers, 4-color gradient, extruded 3D depth, patterned fill - 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
Dotted Marquee is built for diner-style menus, market stall boards and event flyers with a hand-painted feel. The patterned fill adds interest without a second 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.

- Extruded depth
- deep, extruded to the lower right
- Letterform changes
- thickened strokes
Tips for using it
- The thinnest outline is about 1.5% of the letter height. Thin strokes tear easily when cut from vinyl, so scale the whole design up if you plan to cut it small.
- 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.
- The extruded faces export as their own colour, so plan for one more layer when cutting.
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
