I have never lettered a sign with latex. I used to use latex for backgrounds but have been all-enamel since about 1998, when I discovered that vinyl lettering doesn't adhere well to lates. That being said, I have never cleared any sign since I started painting them in 1985. Leave it be. Welcome...

^ I did this all last month with a client. Was excited to get the job (logo and painted signs together) By the time it was done I felt so ashamed of the product I produced that I would never ever show it to anyone. I hope nobody knows I did it.

I've been doing this (probably too much) with painted signs a lot lately. Love the look. I haven't the foggiest how to do it with printing though. Love....Jill

It may cause seizures.

That literally makes me want to punch someone on the face, not buy yogurt. Love...Jill

Maybe Valentino from Signfonts? Love...Jill

I think the laundry list seems redundant, as it states almost exactly the same as what is mentioned in the tagline. If you must use it, I would make it left justified and in caps and lower case, because the all-caps reads like a block of text. Spacing between the lines needs tightened up too. I...

I feel your pain. I charge these types of clients more if I have to produce their blasphemy. :) Then I never put the pix in my portfolio. Love....Jill

I really like that arrow. :) Totally understand the mirroring thing. Have to explain it to every client I ever have who wants an arrow on a sign. Love...Jill

Use the Rolco in the centers and make the outer parts gelatin. Love...Jill

I don't mind the FB messages but I find most are tire-kickers. Eventually you do get a bite, though. I like how FB makes it seem like there is enthusiasm going for a project when I post daily progress pix. Any type of contact is better than none, I guess. :) Sometimes I have to delete snide...

Looks like it was a pain in the tushie but it turned out nice. Love....Jill

It actually doesn't look too shabby! I wish I could read what the bottom copy says.

I'm glad you figured it out...if I ever need something like that I will send the job to you. :) If it was painted I could probably do it OK though. Love....Jill

Thank you. That was a really nice thing to say, Dakota. I'm just glad I got to meet him in person twice, and spend a wonderful day with him a few years ago. I have all his delightful emails, his Cecil Wade books, and a really cool panel he painted for me.

Raised it to $50 last year (It was $25 for the past 15) Like Pat, it's usually for the car window sticker people whom I don't really want. Love....Jill

I would spend a half-hour rebuilding that pile of crap into something that looks nice, and is effective and doesn't have any supposed "issues". Of course, the guy is still going to want his "masterpiece". I would then say, because he created it, I cannot replicate it for fear of punishment. Not...

Coroplast seems rather wimpy for a permanent sign. Or are you talking about an 18"x24" step stake signs? Love...Jill

I don't care for the screenprinting font in that application (love the font for other uses) try using that font for SIGNS and the non-inline version of it for screenprinting. Lose the hot pink and make the pink parts the same as the red S in the logo because they clash. I'd also make the...

My dear friend Arthur, who was a member here "BucksSigns" passed away this morning. He was such a wonderful man, and he will be missed. He was sneaky about his username, and thought it rather funny. He posted some neat design suggestions, and I doubt that many knew just what a special guiding...
