  1. Perpetually Connected Devices...

    The problem is that airlines, etc. want to use the same systems worldwide. Microsoft could make Windows handle this stuff outside the kernel, just like the other OS, but since they have products that are allowed to work inside the kernel, the EU agreement requires them to allow third parties do...
  2. Perpetually Connected Devices...

    Access to the kernel is indeed what allowed the Crowdstrike mistake to crash everyone's computers. But the safer alternative is essentially outlawed by the agreement the EU forced on Microsoft. The real problem is that they didn't even test the update on one Windows computer to make sure it...
  3. Ugh! New Brand Guide (RANT)

    If this non-profit museum is only in this city, I think it's simple. You kick it back to whomever is in the art department and tell them their new brand guidelines cannot be used in the city because you cannot get a permit for a sign with these colors, and provide them a list of the...
  4. Bike fonts

    To find vector files of logos, rather than just fonts (many logos are not actual fonts but are custom-created), try brandsoftheworld.com . I checked for Specialized, Schwinn, Diamondback, Trek, and Motobecane and found all of them in multiple versions, current and older.
  5. Bike fonts

    Does anyone have ingredients for recipes? Anything is helpful. Perhaps you should try this great tool called Google Search. But if you have a specific question to ask it might help to provide those specific details here. Are you talking about bicycle manufacturer logos? Model Numbers? Or are...
  6. help needed with this heat (weather)

    Peel the paper off rather than peeling the lettering off. It's possible you cut too hard into the paper. That will also make it stick and be hard to get loose.
  7. Font ID?

    If I told you I'd have to kill you. LOL.

  10. Exterior building directory - how/where to install?

    We are doing a directory for a small office building that will go on the window next to the double doors. We will use white cut vinyl lettering so that tenants can easily be replaced. You could do the same here using the window that has the funky hours on it. Stress to them that in order to keep...
  11. Exterior building directory - how/where to install?

    On your example the fasteners to the brick go through the silver piece of panel to the brick, behind the black panel. The black panel is mounted with double sided tape. For the project you are working on, is this an office building? Where are you when you walk through those doors? If it's a...
  12. Graphtec FC8000 not receiving data from Onyx Go (v. 22.5.1)

    If you are trying to cut vinyl that you have printed, you configure Onyx to create the cutfile when it rips the file to print. The cut contour color usually needs to be named CutContour. The cut contours need to be part of the file you export from your design software and import to Onyx. You...
  13. Panface poly vs flat sheet

    I found my panface supplier by asking my sign supply companies. There are three all within less than 100 miles.
  14. Panface poly vs flat sheet

    Flat faces will look like crap because the cabinet is thin, placing the faces so close to the lights that you will see hotspots from the light tubes/modules with dark areas between, rather than uniform lighting. You would need to find a manufacturer of pan faces nearby. Shipping is cost...
  15. Bronze plaque tarnishing

    Yes, I would take Gemini up on their warranty and have them refinish it. We've had them do refinishing on things in the past and it took care of everything. I agree that the oxidation happening on the corners is not from salt air but from damage to the clearcoat. Paint is very vulnerable on...
  16. Bronze plaque tarnishing

    How was the plaque finished originally? If you got it from Gemini the refinishing would be covered under their warranty. You'd just send it back to them. I can't believe it could have any clearcoat on it if it was showing oxidation in less than two years. Brasso requires more than a wipedown...
  17. Truck Lettering Pricing

    Looks like they got it from the cheapest vinyl letters in town place. Doesn't even use the same font as their sign.
  18. Need Help font ID help please

    Looks like two different fonts. URFCO is Remo Sans, with then F squished a little. I can't find an exact match for the S
  19. Trailers Made Of Metal Panels

    Print and apply vinyl as normal, without respect to where the panel joints of the aluminum are. Then cut the vinyl along the edge of the aluminum panels and push the lower piece down.
  20. HDU sign

    They are each mounted on opposite sides of a 12" thick wall, sticking up somewhat above the wall.
