I have been noting for a while that GW does a great job of covering the major 1st Founding and select 2nd Founding chapters with their decal sheets. However, there are a number of great looking 2nd and later founding chapters who get a good amount of back-story and have great alternative uniform colors that never have had decals produced for them. In the interest of promoting diversity in the Marine community and encouraging players to branch out beyond the "big 4", I have begun producing logo sheets for some of these other chapters who I think look great and have no GW decal support.
After going over the GW marine decal sheet, I realized the Raven Guard are missing. So here they are to finally round out the original 1st Founding Legions. Here is the link to the PDF file for the decal sheet you can freely pull down and use:

I created the original logo in Adobe Illustrator, then made variations of it for size and color (outline and solid color versions). The sheet is designed for printout on Decal printer paper which is easily available online.
These decals are give you a bit of choice. I put a thick black edge around the logos , so you can use EITHER the clear or white decal paper for these.
CLEAR PAPER: If you use the clear decals, the decals need to be applied to a light colored surface to be visible at all. The procedure for applying the "outline only" decals is to apply them to a white surface, and wait till they are fully dried. Then using the outlines as a guide, paint in the darker color around the decal. It is odd, but gets the job done.
WHITE PAPER: If you use the white paper, you will have to cut the decals out carefully with the black border being the edge of the decal. Apply them to whatever surface you wish (it can be a dark surface). You may need some minor touch-up painting around the black edge to make sure the transition is smooth.
Size wise, the larger decals towards the top are best used for super heavies/terrain, and move down in size to the large array of Marine Shoulderpad towards the bottom.
In any case, enjoy and I wish you the best in using this set for your forces.
Please feel free to leave comments if there is a special Marine Chapter you would love to collect, but have no GW decal options, and I will see what I can do.

You are seriously the greatest ever!! My only problem with my RG army was i didn't like the logo that i painted, but now its perfect!!
Its true - you really are close to godliness!
Corax loves you.
thank you very much it is nice to know that gw does not have the only artist in the world. they look great!!
man, 'thank you' just cant cover it!! I just re-painted my whole army into Ravenguard colurs and was horrified when i couldnt find the decals for them anywhere!!
Bacon saved! You are truly a scholar and a gent!!
Thanks again! :)
WOW thank you.
I almost made a Black Templar army instead of the Raven Guard.
You rock man. Corax would be pleased.
Hi bigred and thanks for the work your doing for the drawing impaired.
But is it possible for you to do a black raven logo instead of white?
I would have recoulered it myself if it was a .jpeg file, but sadly i cannot mingle with it myself so i turn to you.
Dude you rule thankyou so much
Is it possible to get these with "black ravens?
I noticed that the GW Raven Guard have "black raven" decals on the white parts of the mini and "white ravens" on the blakc parts.
I haven't been able to find any "black raven" decals anywhere"
thanks
Just wondering, are these transfers are legit stickers?
By decals I assume you mean stickers, but I just want to make sure. I hate dealing with transfers and would much rather just have a normal sticker/decal to apply without dealing with the transfer BS.
Many thanks for this file !
The quality is very good.
I recommend printing those on a Laser Decal sheet, the result is amazing.
Could it be possible to get the same pdf with "white" ravens, to apply on RG Sergeant's white shoulder ?
Great work !
Any chance having a Blood Angels logo sheet ?
Thanks !
Working brilliantly with an old inkjet printer suprisingly
Would it be possible for you to create a sheet with black raven logos on to go over white fill shoulder pads on captains for example as well as the white raven design we already have.
Finaly figured out how to invert the colours
