    Very clean - nice job!!

    Good deal - thanks for the heads up. They have a facility not too far from me which works out nice for being able to pick items up.

    I see they're highly recommended for business card printing. I don't see any examples/options listed on their site - maybe I'm missing them. Is the normal procedure to call them to discuss options or are they listed on the site and I'm not seeing them? EDIT: just saw you have to sign up prior...

    Yepper. Came across some pictures from a while back and figured I'd see who else had ran across it.

    What happens when you apply clear vinyl to frosted glass?
  6. Clever image in the news today

    Pretty cool design. Goes to show simple is often better.

    Stop it Gino! lol Just got off the phone with Phillip and we're taking another go at this....a little less retro, sharper, cleaner lines.
  8. What would you do?

    I don't think the customers misunderstanding is your fault, but I would definitely include something to the effect of "13 oz. reinforced vinyl" in your quotes in the future especially if you include terminology referring to "welded hems". Anyone with experience in the sign business knows what a...

    I still like it also...just not sure I want something that retro and "scrolly". I keep going back to one of the other designs he did and just really like how sharp and clean it is. I feel it's a better representation. The surveyors tape below is along the lines of what I was thinking of...
  10. What would you do?

    I was going by your statement that "they are not a major customer at all". If that's the case, I would part ways. If they will potentially send more work, I think I would clearly state your case (that panels were never discussed), but tell them you'll eat the cost of the banner if they agree to...
  11. What would you do?

    If he won't pay for what was clearly agreed on I would amicably cut my losses and refer him elsewhere.
  12. Mounting to brick

    Assuming the brick has a somewhat smooth/even surface without a ton of variations/protrusions: Apply three vertical strips of VHB tape - one at each end and one in the center of each panel. Apply a nickel-sized dollop of silicone between each strip of tape. When installing, press firmly...

    I agree 100%. It's more of a "had time to sink in" thing. Like I said, I got the business cards printed and I started working on address labels, email sig, etc. and just found myself second-guessing having a retro logo. I still like the script, I like the idea of the tape as a "P" (although I...

    I wasn't attacking your suggestion. I considered a micrometer pretty early on and just decided against it due to the number of businesses that use it. But the same is true with the crosshairs I used - a ton of businesses use it. So that was a bad decision also. A sewing tape doesn't really...

    The micrometer is so overused for businesses with the name 'Precision' it's not even funny. Plus, it doesn't relate at all to what I do.

    I think you went left when you meant to go right. :smile:

    Yes, it's definitely their job to try to bring the idea to life. By the time I approached Phillip, I honestly forgot about the blueprint idea. Plus I was wanting something retro. We're going to review everything here in the next day or two (he's building a website for me as well), so we'll...

    That was one of my earlier thoughts, prior to ever contacting Phillip. I'm not sure how it would be incorporated though and I guess I kind of counted the idea out because of that. Maybe if an actual designer were to run with the idea though, they would come up with something pretty great. I...

    Put your Word of the Day calendar away. You look silly.

    Thank you for the kind words, Craig. All credit goes to Phillip. Any flaws, perceived or otherwise, are more my doing than his. I like the tape. But I do think with a couple of small tweaks, it's going to get the message across even better. That's being worked on. I agree with your...
