Maybe he is really young, and will grow out of this phase? One can only hope. Addie...if I were you, I would seriously stop posting examples of your work. It's one thing to post it as an example of the stuff you are successfully selling at good prices to clients who are generally happy with...

I also think many people oftentimes overthink their logo and try to tell too much with what should be a very simple mark and brand. Remember, your logo will almost always be used with other collateral materials or graphics, it's rarely on it's own. On a sign or card, there will most likely be...

Some advice I would throw out there is to stay away from photos in your logo. Think simple. Also, you should print out your designs both small and large when designing. Look at it say...an inch big. Can you read everything? If not, your viewers won't either if at a distance. Check out Wiliams...

"....I see it has sparked some honest answers and some answers from a Newbie that is a bit pretentious. Unnamed Newbie believes he can sort out children that are going to be artists or not by their scribbles with a Crayon. Seems to be a prevailing attitude around here." Pretty sure this was...

I'll have to stand by my comments as well as others on here. Either you have a "voice" and can sing in tune (in this analogy AKA the ability to design a successful, impactful logo) or your voice sucks (AKA you can't design a good logo and never will). Those that have it know immediately those...

Just reiterating what others have said. You may have been referring to my comment in the previous thread where I said "hire a professional, there is just too much wrong here". As Dan said, the proliferation of computers and design software has made many folks think they can be graphic designers...

Don't take it the wrong way, there is just too much wrong here to even give constructive advice....do yourself a favor and hire someone, it will be money well spent. Trust us!!

I had a similar conversation with a friend of mine (who is also self-employed) when I asked him a couple days ago: "so, quarterly taxes are due soon, OUCH, right?" and the gist of his reply was: "Well, you have to actually MAKE money in order to pay taxes, it's a problem I'd welcome" and that...

It does, thx so much for the info. i'll keep ya posted on what we settle on.

That's good info, as we are actually looking at purchasing an fb700 in addition to an LX600 or LX800 and I've been wondering if we need 2 rips or if 1 would bottleneck. In regards to the 10' question, that is what we are torn about. We like the idea of being able to run 10' x 10' or longer along...

Dan - great stuff! I actually saw some of your work before I even joined this forum when researching fonts for logos I was working on. I'll be posting some examples soon of our work-in-progress logo, would love your feedback...

We are considering buying one too. Am curious of those who've bought one, what you thought of the smaller 104", LX 600 machine? We were pretty set on the pulling the trigger on the 800, but our costs are adding up quickly as we set up our shop from scratch. Any generic advice on your decisions...

...."The font I used there is Abtecia which inspired our name." That's GOLD! Brilliant idea, using an obscure font that is similar to your business name for one of the most important parts of business, the Brand! I can't wait to do a logo for a Jewelry designer, I'll use Copperplate! Or a...

As a few folks stated, a great thread and I look forward to contributing (and also learning) more as myself and partner get our business going. I can say I've learned a lot about equipment, materials, software etc. by lurking for a while. It's true, everyone has different strengths and just in...

I've been lurking these forums for a few weeks while gathering info for a printshop I plan on opening soon. While I have never been on the actual "producing" end of things I have been on the design end of things for approx 20 years working as a designer for a large corporation, then as a...
