  1. Need Help Problem Solving Skeeels Needed

    I think the reason they are thinking it may not work is the stroke on the lower letters are pretty thin. I think the letters scales out to be only 4 3/4" High? In theory, the green (or orange) light will go though (using RGB LED's). But the combination of thin/small letters using perf metal and...

  9. Are sign professionals just giving up?

    Since scripture is being used: Exodus 31: 30-35 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—...

    About 2 months ago, my designer friends were posting this book on Facebook. I'm patiently waiting for it.. by the way, she was a consultant for a design firm I once worked at and I was impressed. This is pretty much a universal truth - most designers do not make good business people. Including...
  11. Are sign professionals just giving up?

    My experience is: most properties shoot the budget up on amenities, then cheap out on signage - now I would do the same thing in their shoes. Like I said, I have done quite a few Peachtree signs - some stock, most custom, I don't think they should be the standard for monument signage - quite a...
  12. Are sign professionals just giving up?

    Don't get me wrong, I've had to use Peachtree quite a few times when the properties were not high end and an in-house designer stumbled on to the catalog - still I cringe... By the way, I work out of my home and go to a shared office space with another 101er... not bashing...

  14. Looking for critiques of this sign frame

    No, the real estate agents tell us what they want as well as send us the survey and photos, we do the code research, then the layouts, and send the documents - with specifications to bid. The regional managers send them out to bid. They used to have sign shops do them, but since there is no...

    Not in the last 20 - but yeah, I have heard some doozies in my day. Except for the occasional quickie sign we can do in-house, we just design now... so the client comes in prepared to take "most" of our advice. My largest client currently is a management company with 1400 properties. We deal...
  16. Are sign professionals just giving up?

    As long as you have been doing this, and as good as you really are... c'mon now, your'e pretty darn good - you should not be dealing with the same "type" of client as you did when you started or 10-15 years ago. On the materials thing, design the sign, have the sign shop guide you as to how...

    I've only been doing it for 39 years but I'll give it a try... -- Wassup with the chunks of wood slapped on the sides... looks like an after thought... -- The finials on the one don't seem substantial enough. -- YIKES, Paint the attachments or, learn to build a sign where the attachments are...
