I had a nice extra 18-5 but it was missing the logo on the front cover. Just for giggles and $hits, I thought I would try and photograph the one I had and try and create a decent replica on photograph paper. Although up close and in person, a knowledgeable person would discover the difference, if you are missing the logo, this is better than having nothing. Below are two pics of the cover with different lighting and and example of the photo I created. The logos are on a 4x6 template, and I just sent it to Walgreens to have it printed on glossy paper. Cost me 29 cents. I taped the photo to a piece of cardboard and used an exacto knife to cut out the logo. It is important to not manipulate the pic and to have it printed as a 4x6, so the logo will be the correct size. The pix below are a bit soft focused. actual logo pic is sharper. I will email the digital photo to anyone that wants one. PM me your email address and I will send it. [ July 22, 2016, 11:23 PM: Message edited by: Barry Fritz ]

These labels are a really great idea! Janice has kindly sent me some labels to try and for my particular machine, it uses the rectangular shaped label, as per the 18-5L. Regardless, they are all great and thanx very much to you both for your help Barry and Janice!
I am not the worlds best gluer, but I did my best I am sure others can get theirs cleaner.
Using PL adhesive to super stick the label. Apply VERY lightly or it can squish out the edges a bit You can buy this stuff anywhere(canadiantire, home depot, lowes,etc...)
Using neodynmium magnets to super hold the label while drying:
Attached label!
Ps: there seems to be a bit of white on the edges pictured here, but i think it is a glare. People can order these nice labels from Janice Glesser if you want them on metal, or simply print and stick depending what you want to do!
