Man, I wish we could declare territories, that would be awesome. I can imagine yearly meetings with all the shops in town to argue about moving boundaries as city demographics shifted.

Sarah Script

Font is similar to Signpainter Script from House Industries. It would need a little modifying but nothing major. For the horse and cowgirl hand vector it or send it to the Vector Doctor. For that matter you could send the whole thing to him and he could vectorize lettering and all

I'd use the fasteners John showed. Those damn things SUCK to get out. Please don't use silicone. That stuff ruins the looks of buildings if the signs ever have to come down. With 100 of them to install if you don't have a damn good hammer drill go rent one. Over the course of 400-600 holes...

They don't hide it. Right above the DOWNLOAD buttons on dafont.com if will either say FREE or just FREE FOR PERSONAL USE. Then when you download it and unzip the file there's a "read me" file in there that nobody ever reads. That's where the rest of the commercial use info is. I can't find...

Really putting yourself out there with that font selection aren't you?

Not great but not bad either. It'll serve its purpose. Personally I'd have tweaked the bottoms of the letters. IT'S TREMENDOUSLY BETTER THAN THE RIDICULOUS THING THEY'VE BEEN USING. Much more of a corporate franchise look.

Tiki, man, we're gonna have to schedule an intervention to get you to stop spending all your time cruising font sites.

To be fair is there really a lot of skill involved in pulling banners off a printer, trimming them, and sticking a few grommets in them?

Isn't that the same as asking when a picture you found on Google Images can or cannot be used because you found it on a bunch of sites and there's no copyright info on the picture from one of them?

Are they reselling products custom produced in China?

Similar to Aachen BT Bold with an arc.

Just doesn't read well. And just for consistency I'll go ahead and complain, again, about small businesses using letters instead of words and using X instead of CS or Z instead of S

No, those would be Signcades. I'm convinced there aren't but 10 of them in town, people just keep stealing them from each other.

There are big pros and cons to each side. I spend a long, long time weighing an option to convert my shop over to a franchise shop and in a lot of ways I'm still not sure I made the right decision in choosing not to. There were three main advantages that I saw: -A built in, continually...

Lately I've been getting calls every couple of weeks from people wanting to know how much i'd pay them for taking channel letters of cabinets off of buildings. Apparently there's a big market somewhere for used channel letters. The one I get most, though, is the realtor who orders 10...

Good luck with that. Every time I place an order with them I ask them to take me off the mailing list because I never open a catalog, the website is so much easier. Two weeks later...another catalog. I bet there are 20 of them in the recycling box right now.

Uline is slightly cheaper at $149.

Had a massive pine tree cut down, hauled off, and the stump ground down in exchange for a couple of simple 4x8 polymetal signs. We both walked away from the deal thinking the other guy got ripped off. Everybody wins. Usually, though, I prefer to trade my work for cash.
