  4. Need Help BEST Software or add on to VECTORIZE LOGO

    Well, when some boast that Corel Draw is 100x faster or 10x better with inconclusive qualitative or non-existent quantitative facts to back up their claims, except postings of their marginally acceptable work, that would not qualify as facts for anyone to conclude CorelDraw is superior... one...
  5. Need Help BEST Software or add on to VECTORIZE LOGO

    OK my real answer... When it comes to vectorizing... garbage in, garbage out... no vector program is perfect, I think buying Flexi JUST to vectorize is a huge investment for such little return... You need to practice with the vector program of your choice - learning your pen tool is one...

  13. Need Help How to get this effect?

    We were out today and had lunch near a new franchise - not even open yet... had to stop by and look, low and behold, they had a wall... definitely a built-out wall, inset LED cabinet that stretched the width of the graphic area, with the panel/puck system attached to the walls...

If the OP is building this for this particular...

  20. Tariff on Sign Blanks?

    So, I'm not going to get into any of my political leanings - I think it's a bad idea, unless they helped the aluminum and steel industry ramp up production to the point where American companies can become viable competition, while they are at it, can there be a Tariff put on Crowdsourcing sites...
