  1. Wrecker service truck lettering

    Of your last set... Top right. But use all Chesham Sans for the subcopy, and make the area code the same size as the other numbers. I do like the angled line underneath the one (without looking back bottom left) but feel it emphasizes "Inc" too much. City name might be in the same script as...
  2. Custom belt buckles?

    Pat! Thank you so much. :smile:
  3. Custom belt buckles?

    This is for a logo client of mine who lives in Australia. She is looking for a place to get imprinted metal belt buckles. First off, does anyone know a supplier of these? And secondly, do you think a simple vector file would be what they needed? :thankyou: Love....Jill PS This question...
  4. Site Surveys and Estimates getting out of control

    I do charge for a site survey. I also charge for insurance estimates. Absolutely NEVER do a mock up without a deposit. Ever. I can tell from an email if it has been sent to every shop in three counties. You can be as detailed as you want, but 99% of people only do look at the price. Hence...
  5. Snl 40.....................

    I watched it, and I am not much of a TV watcher. I did enjoy it for the most part, I laughed my @ss off at some of the stuff. I thought the the 2 singers named Paul were probably the worst performances of the show. Love....Jill
  6. Advice and Help Starting Sign Shop?

    I didn't realize that you had painting skills. The overhead for something of this nature is do-able. I'd produce high-end house signs on these: http://www.carvagiousa.com/guild.htm Uninstalled, so no insurance is involved only for shipping. Make a few samples. Set up an online store.
  7. Advice and Help Starting Sign Shop?

    I would try and find a good job working somewhere reliable with good benefits and do signs as a hobby. Sorry to sound all gloom and doom but I wouldn't let even an enemy get into the sign business. You have a child and wife to support, you said your credit is crappy too. You need to have special...
  8. Walldog Mural Event in Butler PA

    Will do. The actual dates are Thursday July 28th thru Sunday July 31st 2016.
  9. My 1st Plotter/Cutter - HELP!

    I'd go with Graphtec, especially since you can cut directly from a design program like Corel. Mine can cut pretty damn small. Love....Jill
  10. Walldog Mural Event in Butler PA

    We have a scaffolding supplier right in town. The Coca-Cola sign will be as exact a replica as we can make it. We only have the one photo, but there are a lot of pix online of similar layouts. I have written to Coke with no response. We've already been planning this for 2 years. It will be...
  11. Another out with the old . . .

    Sooo much cleaner! Thanks for sharing. Love....Jill
  12. Walldog Mural Event in Butler PA

    It's well worth the less than 1½ hour trip. This would be just the thing to get you to expand your horizons even further. 119 to 76 exit 39, straight up Rt 8. :smile:
  13. Matte clear over lettering enamel

    Awesome. I use Ronan almost exclusively, and Dennis has donated paint to our meets. I used to only use 1-Shot, who very kindly donated oodles of paint to various meets I hosted, and I appreciate that. But I do not appreciate what happened to their paint over the years. It became like the...
  14. Matte clear over lettering enamel

    I'd call Dennis at Ronan: 718-292-1100 or 800-247-6626 (from their site) I have used Ronan with 1S with no ill effects. Perhaps they have something suitable. I would not use a flattening agent as it may cloud your clear. If you do use a 1S clear paint it on with a brush, DO NOT use their...
  15. Walldog Mural Event in Butler PA

    There is plenty of room for background painters as well :smile: C'mon down....it will change your life.
  16. New idea on business cards

    The back seems OK enough, I would change the font color in the green band to black because there is not enough contrast. On the front of the card, I would suggest a different font. If you have that one everything forever, and are married to it, I understand. But Serpentine screams 1990s to...
  17. Walldog Mural Event in Butler PA

    It took me about 6 hours to drive to your place, but I am a terrible driver :smile: These are really fun, rewarding events to attend. No entry fee and all meals are provided. My project is restoring a huge Coca-Cola wall. The other walls are still being planned as to project leaders and...
  18. Walldog Mural Event in Butler PA

    As some of you know, I will be helping to host a Walldog meet in Butler, PA, the last weekend of July 2016. Co-hosted by the Butler County Historical Society. We have 8 murals planned at this point. Anyone who is interested in attending (helping to paint the murals) please check out our...
  19. 18" by 9" Car Door Magnets

    Mt "competitor" was selling a double-sided alumalite 4x8 installed on painted posts for $250. No way would I do that. Most noticeable thing on it is of course the phone number. Ugly as hell.
  20. 18" by 9" Car Door Magnets

    It's actually both. I love signs and am very passionate about making them. I've devoted thirty years of my life to this business. Raised three kids by myself while making signs from home. Traveled the world to Letterhead meets for 20 years. My prices are not high. They are actually a lot...
