    Default Can you "re green" the Pelikan logo?

    I didn't really know how to search for this, I apologize if it's been discussed already.
    I see the Pelikan logo on the cap of many pens is green, but mine is faded.
    Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

    You could try repainting it, but it's probably faded because of it's age, and if that's the case, it would be preferable to leave it as it is. You wouldn't want an older pen with a bright green, brand new looking Pelikan logo.

    You'd have to search a bit to find the right color, but a method used by many is a china marker. It's the colored pencil looking thing but it unwraps.

    It's easily reversible and comes in many colors.

    Yes, it's the same method used to bring out embossing on any pen, usually with a white marker.

    A wax crayon works just as good if the imprint is crisp.
