  1. Adding a gradient fill to an odd shape...In Corel

    I am working on a layout, for a rear window of a truck, so it is tall and thin, but not a true rectangle. The top is narrower than the bottom, and the top arc's slightly. So is there a way to add a gradient fill to the background, and make it uniform all the way around? I am currently using...
  2. Largest piece of vinyl installed?

    I have installed a piece 30" x 30' long. It was a background on a stainless tanker for a local fire co.
  3. Vinyl for second surface lettering.

    it's going to be layered. I don't have a printer.
  4. Vinyl for second surface lettering.

    Hey, guys. I am going to be lettering the inside of some windows, facing out, and I have a question concerning which vinyl to use. I normally use Oracal 751, but can I use 651? The only issue that I can see is the heat from the glass affecting it...I just don't want it to fail. The...

  6. Drum Roll, Please.... My New Logo, Thanks to Sign Amigo

    All Phillip. I used the shape that I liked, but incorporated the copy. I started thinking the green background was a bit much.

    Nice layout. Well done...
  8. Death of the stick family?

    I have been bitten 4 times, and 2 of them were by a doberman. Once was my fault... I was at a girl friends house, and we were in the yard playing around, and I was chasing her. The dog was protecting his family. The second time was I was buying a washer and I followed the owner, and the dog...
  9. Lining up window graphics...

    That is pretty much all I do. I make sure that everything has a weed border, then after I weed the vinyl and apply the mask, I just hand cut close to the edge...It doesn't have to be perfect. When I measure it up, I measure to the straight line, and tape it off. I usually use a center hinge...
  10. Advice please on SUMMA

    +1. If I remember right it is a tangential cutting machine. I would take a roll of vinyl and check out the cutting. Run thru the screen menu and make sure that the display looks good. Also when you load the material that it feeds straight, and listen for any odd sounds when it does load...
  11. Drum Roll, Please.... My New Logo, Thanks to Sign Amigo

    Nope. It's going to be dimensional. I will let my router do most of the work, and the light will be hand carved. The main letting will be gold leafed. It will be a little while until I can start. I'm too wrapped up in customer work.
  12. Drum Roll, Please.... My New Logo, Thanks to Sign Amigo

    I was sick of looking at my old logo, so I contacted Phillip (Sign Amigo), and asked him to create me a new logo. This will be on all my advertising going forward. I looked through his site, made notes on what I liked, and he sent me a bunch of ideas, and I picked what I liked most. Hats...
  13. new logo... after some hard thinking and a little advice ;)

    I browsed a lot of the posts, and the most frustrating thing is trying to design for yourself. I looked at my crappy logo for several years, and finally had just had enough... I contacted Phillip (sign amigo), and he is working on designing me something. There is no shame in it. The way I...
  14. 8' banner hanger? any such animal?

    Its an alum that snaps over the banner that allows it to hang. I did find this: http://www.atlantabanners.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7
  15. 8' banner hanger? any such animal?

    I have a friend that hung a couple of banners for a local tire shop, and he said that he can only find banner hangers in 4'. The problem is at the seam in the middle, it is allowing a wrinkle, and the customer is not happy with the appearance. Is there any such thing as a banner...
  16. Shout out to John Deaton!

    Well done. Great font choices (and effects) to go along with the mascot. I'd shop there... it looks like the owners would be fun to shop from.
  17. Got burned, my fault

    if you do that, please post links. That would be pretty funny, especially when they get searched on...
  18. Can I get paint off of Acrylic (plexiglass) face?

    I've seen reclaimed faces, and it's a mess to soak with thinner and clean out. And if the copy was masked with spraylat and cut in there will be cut marks in the plastic. Much easier to just buy new faces.
  19. Burned out

    I've signed up for Trello as well. I was using note pads, and i would figure a quote, but it seems like i would loose the pad, or it would be at the office, and i would be out.
  20. Real Sign making

    That was cool. Thanks for sharing.
