  1. Discussion So, Why Is It.....................................

    Having been on many sign sites, I can attest these are good questions... many many times sign people come on here asking about project out of their skill level... things they may never consider... like insurance, the need for a contractors license, permitting, codes. Asking can be an ego/anger...

    For a few bucks you can bust out of the square and give it a bit of dimension... we all hate cheap customers, why do it to yourself... I had another idea because I'm bored...
  3. Layout Suggestions

    I totally get that you love your logo... Like JB shows, add color to the background, hopefully you are not so stuck on your typeface... if you are, tighten up your tracking, make the type the same size, play with your existing colors, maybe reverse the copy... add a header and/or footer... spell...
  4. Layout Suggestions

    Not a whole lot of signs plastered with websites, phone numbers and email addresses. My opinion is, your sign should be as good as the best sign you have ever made. Slapping graphics on a white panel is not pushing the envelope of creativity. I don't think it needs to be a masterpiece, but...
  5. Discussion So, Why Is It.....................................

    I think when people stop coming here, it's rarely ego... maybe mental self preservation, I think people who stop coming here is because... -- Newbies have thin skin when they just plopped down 20-30k (one example I show spent 185k) on equipment they know nothing about... -- They are frustrated...
  6. Discussion So, Why Is It.....................................

    When I see a post like this, I'm reminded of a few threads that I participated in that I knew had missing information vital to answering the question.

    Clean presentation -- I would have the location plan first, show the building location on the map -- The order of the pages caused me some confusion -- If you are going to have sign type, reinforce with a page numbering system that matches -- The square footage was off on your wall sign --...

  11. Pricing Standstill With Project- Need Some Feedback

    Looks like a total of 1710 square feet to me... That makes it 4.69 a square foot. Having seen a big high school mural go bad on new corrugated, I would be worried about the paint not holding up and having to redo it... I would factor a little into the price
  12. International Building Code and local sign codes...

    I know this is an old thread but, I'm fairly certain the IBC requires engineering for structures over 6'. I have an old copy floating around here somewhere. Anything below that is up to the municipality. The lowest requirement I have ever worked with was 4' I know other states/municipalities...
