  2. Geminis new catalog is freakin awesome

    You're reading the Gemini catalog in bed. Just making sure I'm reading that correctly.
  3. I had to look twice!

    Okay, and admittedly the idea has been done 100 times, but the average person on the street is going to look at that and think it's awesome...and original because they've never seen it....and they'll remember it because the visual ploy is simple, the logo is strong, and the whole thing is very...
  4. Social Media for Sign Shops?

    What Insignia said. There are a couple of ad/branding agencies I follow that very rarely post any of the work they do but they are pretty prolific at posting real life "day in the life" kind of posts. I've never met any of their employees but dammit, I want to. The concept is...
  5. Logo help please

    Man, I don't know. I kind of like the original clean look more than the 80's swoosh.
  6. Logo help please

    I actually kind of like the simplicity of what you've got so far...just tighten up that kerning a bit. Here's a slight variation I tried just to see how it would work.
  7. Face-palm / No taste

    Your problem is that the vast majority of people out there will look at the two layouts and if you ask them the difference all they can tell you is that one is in cursive and the other one has a bird. They can't actually see the difference and don't care. You're just sticking stickers on a board.
  8. Thick Coro

    My welder does my step stakes for 1/2" coro cheap. They're little more than two pieces of round rod with two 1" x 8" steel plates welded across them. One plate would probably be fine....he's anal about preventing failure so he does two to spread out the pressure when people inevitably hammer...
  9. Let down by Roland

    Roland sucks. Period.
  10. Xbox One

    ....and a week after it comes out somebody will figure out how to hack it to get around the internet connection and registering the games.
  11. Xbox One

    Just $299? That's a heck of a lot of technology for $299.
  12. Would this be considered copyright infringment?

    The identical photo is available on istockphoto.com http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-13306208-hyena-strong-jaws.php?st=08076d9
  13. How do you keep it all together????

    I funnel everything to my email account. Someone sends me a request on facebook I immediately email it to myself then respond to them with email. Text message...email. Scribbled note stuck under my windshield wiper....email. Very, very rarely do I get someone who goes back to facebook or...
  14. Crazy what some people get away with.

    that just screams of "We just need a temporary sign to get us through a couple of months until we get open and start making money". Six years later, when it's falling apart, they remember to replace it. I'm willing to bet what you're looking at looked fine, and served it's purpose well for at...
  15. newbie ? yes on helmet decals again......

    I'm curious, what are you going to be printing on that's going to require white ink? Everything you mentioned can be printed on white vinyl, I would think.
  16. New Direction

    2006. Had a six hour planning meeting with two people who wanted to invest in me and put me in the corporate retail display business. Four hour meeting the next day. These were two guys with the connections to get me jobs, the engineering skills to figure out how to build whatever I could...
  17. Not liking this idea

    So you wrap them and the shipping company screws up the wrap....the shipping company pays to have it repaired just like they'd do if they bent a fender or broke a window. Why is this even an issue?
  18. Getting my first real storefront. Any tips or tricks on setting it up?!

    Full wall. They don't need to see back there. Full wall with a window perf window if you need to see out. Full wall with a window and blinds with you want to do it cheap. Don't start cutting "stickers". Don't even start. Just say no. Somebody is gonna pipe in and tell you they cut a...
  19. Getting my first real storefront. Any tips or tricks on setting it up?!

    Hope you're not going storefront with the "make whatever you want while you wait" business model you imply. The first thing I'd do (and will do as soon as I get the time) is to build a divider between customer showroom area and the the work area. Work areas get cluttered and trashed at various...
  20. Need a Retro Font for lettering a Vintage 1950s Studebaker Pick-up...

    Heck, I'm right down the road from the DOT office. At least once a week I get somebody in the shop who is pissed off I won't lettering their truck while they wait for it.
