Just wanted to shout out the Vector Doctor for the big assist this morning. After requesting a vector logo from a designer and receiving a zipped package of files full of embedded images, I reached out to the Vector Doctor for help. After a few minutes I receive an email apologizing that he...

Hoping for any recommendations on exterior, water-based paints suitable for re-creating and preserving historic signs (see attached for examples). Ronan Aquacote or Nova Color acrylics? Both seem to be suitable alternatives to leaded, oil based 1-Shot. The Nova Color line seems more geared...

Thank you!

Good morning, How can I go about finding a new sign rep and/or dealer in Virginia? I recently took a position to basically re-establish a defunct in-house shop and am in the process of sourcing materials, tools, equipment, etc. Specifically, I'm hoping to find a local person to help find...

Yes! Thank you so much!

Can anyone identify this font? The Pizzadude fonts are all close, but not quite right. Thanks!

Does anyone know of any other easy to read blackletter fonts? I have some informational and wayfinding signs to work on in a German-themed area and I'm trying to find that sweet spot between easily legible while still appropriate. Kodex Regular and Pirata One are close to what I'm after. Rhein...

Thanks! Just subscribed to Signs of the Times and registered for the virtual ISA Sign Expo. These look to both be good resources for current info and news. Do any of you have thoughts on visiting local shops? I'm technically not a competitor, so would other shop owners be open to that sort of...

Thank you for the replies! I guess I don't have a specific target - but I would want to learn more about the growing segments in the industry. The one thing I do enjoy about where I am now is the blend of analog and digital. I have degree in fine art and started making signs just before the era...

Good morning, I posted this a couple weeks ago in the newbie help forum but didn't receive any views or replies. Apologies for trying again but I think this forum may yield some good results and help point me in the right direction. I'm seeking advice on the best ways to re-engage with the sign...

Any luck on this one? It looks like it's been auto traced and the ampersand is throwing me off, but I found a couple close matches: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/eurotypo/brighten/round-italic/ https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/artisan-studio/plants/clean/

Wow, a fellow sign maker from Hampton Roads - greetings! I checked out your Facebook. Very nice work. I especially like the series of beach house signs with the lighthouses. Were those all houses owned by the same property manager or something?

Seeking advice on best ways to re-engage with the sign industry. I've been making signs for over 15 years but for the past 6 years I've been mostly isolated from what's going on out in the real world. I work in a small shop at a theme park, so I'm exposed to very little beyond the next new event...

Good morning! I'm new to the site, but have poked around here plenty of times searching for help over the years. Finally decided to sign up and join the community. Hopefully I can offer some help as others have done for me in the past. I've been working in the sign industry for a while but my...
