Now that the election is long past, are you still glad you did them at a discount?

Thanks Fred. Nice to know you are still on the site.

This font appears on the Canadian Television Network as titling for all their programming. Anyone recognize it? What the Font identifies it a Antenna Bold but a search for that name turns up different typefaces. I have a client requesting we use it for their sign. Any help is totally appreciated.

I don't want to discourage you, but I think Wildside is correct. The logo globe design looks like a Bio-Hazard symbol dressed in Pride Parade colours. I'd also like to see what you've been using as your logo up 'till the change. If you don't mind, please post it up. The poster of your hot...

Gino - not everyone ignores you in times of trouble. A few years back when a hurricane took a dump on Long Island our local volunteer fire dept from here in Pender Harbour BC, which is in a country called Canada, (look it up on Google Maps if you haven't heard of it) travelled 4,000 miles on...

Maybe you can trade some of those to Arlo for a nice acoustic guitar....

I was going to suggest some wisea$$ methods like cut 2" out of the middle of the cabinet or heat the plexi with a blowtorch while two friends pull hard on either end, but the two comments above make much more sense.

This thread seemed to go all sideways, but since we are remembering the Shovel I would like to say that his portfolio here on S101 should be required viewing for all newcomers and a lesson for all in smart, tasteful sign design. .... just sayin'....

As I pointed out earlier in this thread, I don't think a 30% change is enough to make it legal or ethical. You should increase that to 100% to be certain you are safe. If you only steal 30% of someone elses money you are still 100% a thief, not just a 30% thief.

PhilaWraps said: ↑ jeez - just change it a bit and make it your own! I've been in the biz since the '70's and it still amazes me that people think if they change a design, sometimes by a certain percentage, it's then OK to use. Where did that ridiculous notion come from. The only percentage...

We use the Avery 1005 quite often without any major issues. It usually installs flawlessly on all kinds of applications. The only problems I've encountered are when I use Clearshield instead of the laminate film. It's fine as long as I don't use transfer tape but it will come of in blotchy...

I tried reading that book, but it was all in capital letters.

Thanks for the kind comments. It is just 3/4" Crezon MDO jigsawn to shape and fitted to the bases with slots. Weldbond glue or gorrilla glue to hold together. General Paint Marine enamel for the background, airbrushed highlights, HP cast vinyl lettering and a bit of old school striping for a...

The picture is a little blurry, and the sign isn't finished in the pic, but here is an option we did for a client who wanted something a little classier than a plastic A frame.

I've done some school logos cut out from thick sintra where we glued the individual coloured pieces to a contour cut full white background panel made from much thinner sintra. Once it was up on the wall the spaces between the coloured bits were almost indistinguishable.

Back in '76 I had been working as a screen printer apprentice/shop boy in Prince George BC. There were 2 journeyman sign painters and me. I had never seen handlettering done before that. I worked there for a couple years trace-cutting ulano films and printing metal signs. Then I moved to a small...

Thanks for the help guys, y'all rock!

Garamond is close, as is about 35 others in my collection, but none have the decending serif on the 2 or the flat terminal on the 7. I think I'll drop in the closest match I can find and call it a day. Thanks.

I'm trying to recreate this price insert for an old gravity glass fuel pump. The large letters were easy to redraw, but the vertical list of numbers seems to be giving me grief. Anybody recognize the letterstyle?

To be absolutely safe change it about 100% and then use different colours.
