"Faster" is a relative term. It really depends on what tasks you're doing within CorelDRAW or Adobe Illustrator. Neither application is "perfect" and both have their own unique strengths. I prefer doing a lot of technical drawing tasks within CorelDRAW. One reason is its object...

New car dealerships do have permission to use brand artwork related to the make of vehicles they sell. But they have to follow brand guidelines on anything produced, even if it's just a throw-away banner for some fund-raising event. Really it's best to have the brand guidelines of a vehicle make...

I hadn't gone quite that far, but the word "Brittish" in the text caught my eye. I could immediately tell the main block of copy was Snell and not hand written.

We received one of those today. It seems pretty nice. I'm not sure where in the shop we'll install it. The top and bottom portions of the image look pretty authentic, but the central block of text was re-written in what looks like the Snell Roundhand typeface.

There is a new music video for the song Carnavoyeur by Queens of the Stone Age. The video has all the lyrics spelled out in it (which seems oddly literal, but okay). I can't figure out what typeface was used for the lettering. It does seem similar to the the lettering on their album Songs for...

The typeface used in the "Magic" letters looks familiar, but I'm not having any luck finding a match for it. I suspect the script letters have also been thickened up a bit with a rounded contour/path offset effect. The same goes for the red letters to the right. Those look like they started out...

At my workplace we never guarantee exact matches of Pantone spot colors. Reasonably close, but not exact is about as good as it gets with any stock vinyl colors and intermix paint formulas. Digital printing is even more limited. You might be able to hit the same hue, but not the same color...

I'm having trouble identifying the two typefaces used in the attached sample. The "Iglesia" letters look like some odd Trajan-inspired thing. The typeface in the second line of lettering looks familiar, but I'm having no luck feeding it into filters like What the Font. That's very likely due to...

Ike Turner was nothing without Tina. She sure as hell proved it too. Tina Turner was brave enough to leave that cheating, drug-addled wife beater with nothing more than a little pocket change. A couple or so years later she was a far bigger deal than Ike ever was. Tina Turner was a pretty good...

Given the casino is operated by MGM Resorts, I'd bet the cursive lettering in the Beau Rivage brand is custom drawn/inked. As I said earlier there's bound to be some corporate PDFs online containing vector copies of the logo. But there's probably also a corporate branding guide too. If I was...

It definitely looks hand drawn. A lot of these casinos do a lot of advertising put a fair amount of PDFs online. You might be able to luck out and find a PDF containing a vector logo that can be extracted.

Whenever I have to take a color image and "convert" it to black and white I prefer using other approaches rather than simply throwing away 2 or 3 of the color channels to end up with an 8-bit grayscale image. Blacks will not print deep black from a simple grayscale image. A visually black and...

The other day I was working on a sponsor banner for a fund-raising event. I had to re-create a couple of "logos" from poor quality JPEG sources. One of them was for a local construction company. I had their low-res logo locked down on one layer and was building clean vector shapes on top of it...

We use Hanley LED products a good bit. I think the Kestrel units work pretty well. We buy a lot of their Wingspan modules too.

Gotta love it when people want to stick social media logos inside their company "logo." It's like those Russian Matryoshka stacking dolls.

I need a little help with identifying a typeface. The attached image is from a larger PNG file I may have to re-build in vector format. I've scrolled through pages of samples at DaFont and not come up with any matches. The lettering is pretty fugly. I could probably just hand-trace it and it...

I agree things like "INC" and "LLC" are pretty corny to include in a logo or sign layout. I can't think of any national retail business, restaurant chain, etc that includes that nonsense in their logo. Nike, Inc. doesn't stick their legal "Inc." junk into their Swoosh icon. Any major business...

In our shop we have Onyx running our two HP latex printers. We have RasterLink Pro controlling our Mimaki flatbed printer.

I have a few fonts that are somewhat similar to the one used in the attached image. But they're still not a match. I've seen this typeface before, but can't seem to figure out what it is. Thanks in advance for any help.
