The only one I didn't get was the Fifth Third bank sign. Must be because those are common in Michigan where I'm from, I don't even think about it.

Hey Jill So you think you'd need a separate PC to drive that old Gerber then? I'm wondering if something like this would work for some older plotters? http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Innovations-USB545C-Parallel-Cable/dp/B000086TKQ

Thanks for your help! I don't make signs full-time and don't plan on running a vinyl shop. This will be used mainly for paint masks and pounce patterns. So limited use. Speed isn't a necessity. I've seen PNC 1100s for around $300. Hard to find a new brand name machine for that price. ;)

Hey Guys. I'm looking to buy an older, used plotter so I can start doing some signs again. In the past, I've owned Rolands and have always been happy with them. I'd like to find an older PNC 1100, but from what I understand, it won't run on a Windows 7 system. Is this going to be...

This is a logo I'm working on for a carpet cleaning company. What they had before needed help, it might have attracted racecar drivers, but not housewives, who are his target audience. I'm thinking of making the u into a subtle flower idea, without going overboard, to give the idea of...

lol..that's great John! Weasel, I'm not sure on the bottle color. This is just an overall logo for the company, not for a particular beer label. Makes me thirsty for a nice IPA though. :)

This is a beer brand logo I did recently for a friend using some of the great LostType fonts. I really love these fonts, but now I see them EVERYWHERE!

I must be the odd man, I think it's a pretty good looking mascot!

Joe Thanks for your post (and PM too). There is lots of great advice in your 2 posts above. Now I just have to let it all soak in. This is great: Exactly. You put my scattered thoughts into one neat paragraph. And John, it's not about not enjoying your work. This is a fun industry, and I...

Great looking signs Jill!

Good responses. Looks like we all face the same thing. I understand we won't convince them all. I just have a hard time telling someone their idea isn't good and not in their own best interest. My job is to make the customer look good, it's my profession. If I don't say anything, I'm not doing...

Can I get an "AMEN" brother? :)

Lately, it seems like I've been getting a lot of work for clients who just don't get it. Those clients that come to you for a professional logo or design. Then when you submit something, they come back at you with their own idea, or a multitude of ideas from friends or family that are frankly...

That looks great Joe.

lol...I had a client the other day want a logo that POPS! I love that line. Sometimes you just want to respond "Actually, no. I was thinking of coming up with something that completely blends in with it's background"

Great job as always Joe!

Here's another version per the customers original instructions. I wasn't sure how it would look, but I think I like it Time to submit these.

Thanks for the comments. I'm sure there will be tweaks as we move forward, I haven't presented this yet. ThinkSigns, I think the chili's logo is quite different. :)

Here's a restaurant logo I'm working on for a friend. He wanted to keep the same basic letter style, but put it within a pepper. The top is what he has now.

BTW, for some reason the colors are off on your images Shane...
