This is exactly what I've been trying to describe. We used to call them by
the trade name "Adgrafix" (decals to affix for advertising, get it?) but an
Internet search reveals that this name has been adopted by about 3700 web
design outfits, making it impossible to find anything.

I have been discussing screen-printing with another member of this list, as
I have a very good connection. We will share our findings soon, I hope.
Anyway, my connection also has a vinyl sign cutter which is what you've been
describing for applying logos, etc. I don't think it's designed for very
small work, but I could be wrong. As described by others, it is essentially
a plotter with a blade rather than a pen. It uses rolls of vinyl that either
have adhesive on the front (if you're doing a shop window, e.g. and want the
vinyl inside) or back. You peel away that which you don't want (the
in-between bits) and then apply the vinyl, already spaced perfectly as it
still has the backing (which is not cut).
