Grateful Dead Roots Rock Reggae Badge Cut File for Shirts, Stickers and Mugs
This Grateful Dead Roots Rock design is a single circular skull badge, a Stealie-style logo with a lightning-bolt outline, delivered as SVG, PNG, DXF, EPS and PDF files for shirts, stickers, mugs, vinyl decals and tote bags. The artwork centres on a portrait of a man with curly hair set inside the skull, with the words ROOTS, ROCK and REGGAE written below it. The badge uses red, green and yellow reggae colours, with a bold black outline and a white background that you can remove before cutting. Its flat, retro look suits music fans and reggae lovers who want a laid-back piece for a gift or a celebration. Each colour sits on its own layer, so you can cut and weed the badge in the colours you want. The PNG version is a 300 dpi file with a transparent background, ready for printing or sublimation projects. Whether you make a shirt, a sticker sheet or a mug wrap, this file gives you a clean, bold starting point.
Design breakdown
The design is a single square-format circular badge built around a skull silhouette, with a lightning-bolt shape running through the outline and a portrait of a man with curly hair inside the skull. The background is split into red and green segments, the skull is filled in yellow, and a black outline runs around the main shapes, with the lettering ROOTS, ROCK and REGGAE placed below the badge. The file uses five colours: red, green, yellow, black outline and white background. It is cut in 6 layers, with the medium cut complexity coming from the portrait and the thin lettering details. Cut it at a size where the portrait and the lettering remain legible, and use a fine-tip blade or a weeding tool for the smaller pieces.
