Gold Metal
Gold Metal is a deco text template with 5 outline layers, glossy highlight, drop shadow - 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
Gold Metal is built for heat-transfer designs for T-shirts and totes, die-cut stickers, and team or family-reunion shirts. A gloss highlight keeps it from sinking into a photo background. Strong colours and clear outlines stay readable from a distance. 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.

Tips for using it
- The thinnest outline is about 1.2% 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.
