Like others have said, the easiest, most cost-effective thing to do is cut the poles off as close to grade as possible and cap them. It's a lot more trouble to remove the entire pylon and concrete foundation in the ground. Such things are rarely ever done.

Something is definitely out of whack in that client-provided artwork. Probably some object with multiple instances of an odd effect or blending mode applied. Another thing I often see with PDF-based art files from clients is lots of duplicate objects stacked on top of each other. Astute...

EPS doesn't support true transparency, among some other commonly used features in Illustrator. Gotta use PDF to keep those effects intact. The best thing is having the original Illustrator AI files. The next best thing is PDF files saved with Illustrator editing capability left intact.

Viktor Script, from OH no Type Company. It's available to sync on Adobe Fonts: https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/viktor-script

Our guy that has been doing the tube-bending work for the past 22 or so years mostly does repair jobs on existing neon signs (among other hats he wears in sign production). Hardly any new neon signs are getting built. Most potential customers balk at the prices. Our tube-bender is also getting...

The problem is all the parts needed to fabricate neon signs are seeing their prices skyrocket through the f#&@ing roof. Glass, electrodes, high wattage ballasts, etc. It's all getting pretty ridiculous and very sad. I worry neon will soon fall victim to "end of life" syndrome via what's...

Geez, I just saw that same typeface in some customer provided artwork earlier today. Thankfully it was converted to outlines. I'm betting it's a typeface that can be downloaded for free from Google Fonts or a similar site. Edit: I attached a sample of the lettering. I tried uploading it to What...

The script looks like Sign Painter House Casual, but the "AB" looks customized. The sans face is Futura.

Yeah, after actually typing out the text in Mona Lisa Solid I can see it is a match. I wasn't 100% sure at first. For some reason the "B" letters were throwing me. There is a few other similar looking typefaces, such as Bernhard Modern.

Looks similar to Mona Lisa. Not exact though.

This year Corel hit its customers with a price hike. The subscription version jumped $20 to $269 per year. And the non-upgradeable perpetual license version rose $50 from $499 to $549. I can't see how Corel can attract new customers at all under its current pricing scheme. $269 per year is...

The lettering on that sign is hand painted. It kind of reminds me of Netra/Neutraface.

Thanks. Now I'm mad at myself for just not seeing Aller in my font collection. It was right there in a sub-folder with a bunch of other free font families.

For the time being Corel is still selling a non-upgradeable perpetual license version. When they released v24.0.0.301 on March 8 it included a $549 one-time-purchase version and a $269 per year subscription version. Those are price hikes above the previous $499/$249 levels. I kept my...

Just like the subject line says, the attached sample looks slightly like Skia. But that's not right. I know I've seen it before, but I'm drawing a blank.

The change in policy, ending the Upgrade Protection Program, wouldn't bother me as much if Corel was doing more to actually maintain and improve the two applications in their "graphics suite." CorelDRAW 2021 has a number of bugs that have persisted for multiple versions without being fixed...

Old versions of CorelDRAW shouldn't be affected, provided Corel doesn't turn off the activation servers for them. If you haven't been paying the $99 per year or $149 per year renewal fees for Upgrade Protection then this policy shift on the UPP wouldn't apply to you. CorelDRAW users who have...

Corel's Upgrade Protection Program for CorelDRAW users is being "retired," starting next week, March 8. For anyone not familiar, the UPP grand-fathered holders of CorelDRAW perpetual licenses into an annual upgrade policy whose renewals cost less than the subscription-based product. Originally...

I need some help identifying the script typeface in the attached file. I think it might be something from DaFont. Thanks in advance.

Looks like American Captain. It has been bundled with CorelDRAW lately.
