They may not be '70s psychedelic typefaces or cartoon characters, but French hot hatches have had their fair share of OEM graphics on them too, like Renaultsport's exploding chequered flag motif.
Pfft, those guys will never drive for Ferrari...
Oh, and don't forget Citroën!
Peugeot have had some cool stripes on their Rallye versions back in the day, referencing the Peugeot Talbot Sport rally colours. Here's a yellow 205 Rallye.

Were those side stripes an OEM option for 205 Rallye? I've never seen those before.

They seem to be. I wasn't sure but then I saw one on 4 Star Classics, who only sell pristine original old cars, so I'd guess they are. Most pics of yellow ones have them, I found.

I don't know why, but I've always liked roof graphics .

I like them too, but I'm not sure if I'd be brave enough to spec them on my own car.

I guess there were multiple graphics packages for the 205 Rallye then. I also noticed that the rallye script is in different place and in different font compared to the cars I've seen.

That seems likely.
