A vehicle wrap using good quality wrap-specific vinyl and laminates should last considerably more than a year. The wrap life span will vary based on climate and use/abuse from the client. But they should be able to get at least a couple or so years out of it unless the wrap was done on the...

It's never a good idea to install a new wrap over an existing wrap. And it's a really really bad idea to install a new wrap on an old, deteriorating wrap. A wrap should stay on a vehicle for only so many years and then be removed. Ones that stay on well past their time are a big PITA to remove...

That's a heck of a thread bump (over 3 years) for something not really related to State Farm. Adobe Reader can list any embedded fonts in a PDF. Other tools like MyFonts' What the Font do a pretty good job; I'll just upload a cropped screenshot from a PDF, JPEG, etc. I wish State Farm's sign...

Cooper Black has been done to death. If I was going to go with anything related to the Cooper families I'd go with Cooper Poster or Cooper Old Style: https://www.myfonts.com/collections/cooper-old-style-font-urw https://www.myfonts.com/collections/cooper-poster-font-grouptype New Spirit by...

In CorelDRAW here's the trick that works: when you first convert a text object to curves go to the Object menu, choose Shaping and select Weld. It will work on a single selected object. That will cleanly remove/weld-over any areas where letters are overlapping each other (such as connected...

Standard 27" X 41" movie poster "one sheets" are typically printed on both sides of the sheet. The artwork doesn't wash out when back-lit in a lighted movie poster case.

The translucent vinyl I really notice that with is 3M-3630-87 Royal Blue. It's really dark looking, but when light is shined through it really pops as a deep but very brilliant blue. Some of the more medium and lighter translucent blues seem more opaque. So it's tricky combining different blue...

Cut translucent vinyls don't wash-out when they're back-lit. Some translucent vinyl colors are more translucent than others, so the biggest problem is some colors look too dark when back-lit. Certain blues and purples are really prone to that issue. Then there is a limited selection of only so...

About a decade ago we switched from using a thermal inkjet printer to using latex-based printers for back-lit sign face graphics. That offered some improvement over the washing out effect. Results were still not optimal. We have a flatbed printer than can print layers of white in between passes...

Adobe Garamond Pro. The "3" is an "old style numerals" alternate within the font file.

Definitely not Futura. That lowercase "g" is an odd one. It's almost as awkward looking as the "g" in Arial.

Yeah, I can't go back to using an old fashioned platter-based hard disc as a boot drive. I'm not sure if any major notebook manufacturers still offer old fashioned hard discs as an option. It seems like NVMe SSDs are pretty standard now; it's just a matter of which generation of NVMe and the...

I think it's considerably more difficult buying a notebook computer unless you already know which product category you need to shop. There is a lot of push and pull with categories like battery life, portability, graphics power, display size/quality and the number/types of ports available...

I'm not seeing anything in the attached image. Just white.

Futura Extra Bold Condensed.

I'm not a big fan of using auto-tracing functions unless I deliberately want to generate some roughened graphics effects. The auto tracing stuff in Flexi (and CASmate prior to that) was decent. But it was a pain to clean up the paths in those applications. The Live Trace and Live Paint...

If the bottom cabinet doesn't have a retainer similar to traditional sign cabinets it's likely the face was attached to the cabinet using channel letter trim cap material. At least that's what it sounds like. At any rate, if you're going to replace the damaged sign face you'll have to go to the...

I think I've seen this one before. But I haven't had any luck with What the Font, Font Squirrel, Google Fonts or scrolling through "groovy" category pages at DaFont. Thanks in advance for help!

While it's likely in this case the lettering was created by hand, the fact a lettering sample has three different capital "R" glyphs with varying features doesn't automatically mean a font file wasn't used. The Desire Pro typeface was mentioned (available to sync via Adobe Fonts btw). Desire Pro...

Depending on the project, like if you're replacing the faces in an existing sign cabinet, there is no substitute for actually measuring the sign cabinet (along with measuring the retainers, seeing what type of retainers are used, types of lamps and power supplies inside the cabinet, etc). We...
