  4. Message center source?

    If price is not an object Daktronics is the best thing going out there. The company I work for has been selling and installing quite a few Thinksign message centers. The Thinksign product is 10 1/4" deep per side. So you generally need a sign about 25" deep depending on the center pole...
  5. Is there a way to auto nest multiple objects inside one shape?

  6. Working outdoors in enclosed tent?

    My biggest issues have been rain and wind. I have only dealt with cold once. The tent was sufficient for blocking most of the cold air.

  11. Band logo

    The connection of the tail on the g in King and the tail on the B in Bee looks like a capital H at first glance. I am not against it I just thought I would give you my first impression when I opened the image. I am liking your overall direction.
  12. Painted Billboard

    I got that effect from it when I first looked at it. I really love looking at your artwork. You do some amazing things. You inspire me to better myself and push the envelope.
  13. Large lit sign

    With a sign that l would not use lexan faces. I would recommend Panagraphics flex faces. I would also recommend the cabinet be at least 30" deep to allow a man door for interior access for repairs. As was previously asked will this be a new install or replacement? If replacement you will need...
