  1. Shop Closed before we got the signs installed

    The city or the landlord will probably know how to get in touch with them. You'll probably have to finesse that info out of them but it can be gotten.
  2. Outside Sign Materials Help

    Seen from 30 yards away and 40 feet up I'm assuming there's very little lettering. So you painted the background flat white...pain in the *** but bearable. Use whatever paint he bought, draw out your letters, cut your edges in with a 1" flat artists brush ($8 at any art supply store) then fill...
  3. Dog bite/scratch Font

    Sorry. Shouldn't have said that. I'm all better now. Sounds like a great idea....make sure you get a deposit!
  4. Dog bite/scratch Font

    Tell him that's going to look ridiculous. It's a law enforcement vehicle, not a damn clown car. tell him to quit trying to waste taxpayer money on some gimmicky crap that he thinks will look cool and do something that looks respectable and professional. Sorry, this kind of crap pisses me off...
  5. Any design books to recommend?

    This was at the bottom of the description on Amazon: When you buy this book now for $20.89 and sell it back later for a $1.26 Amazon.com Gift Card, it could cost you as little as $19.63. Amazon has apparently taken a page from the business model of every college bookstore in America.
  6. Any design books to recommend?

    It's the end of summer and time to buy some new books until I make it out west to steal Rick's collection. Anybody found any good sign, color, design, typography, branding, design business, duct tape sculpture kind of books lately? For that matter got any good websites dealing with the same to...
  7. logo for Food Truck

    Eventually the four of them and a couple of bottles of wine will sit down at the computer, find one of the "design you own logo" sites, and they'll put together some atrocity they'll be delighted with. By that point you'll have been beaten into submission and you'll do it just to get them the...
  8. Another tiny image

    Dude is like Rainman, just with fonts. Scares me.
  9. Help clear coat peeled off during decal installation

    Not your fault, not your problem, the more time you spend trying to help the guy find a way out of his problem the more its going to look like you're trying to cover your *** and pass the buck.
  10. New Microsoft Logo - Uninspired?

    It works. It's Microsoft....they could have done it in pink comic sans and it would not have effected their sales the least little bit.
  11. Lesson Learned

    What lesson did you learn? I'm confused.
  12. Trying to find a decent t-shirt!!!

    The you order "urban" tall so you get the shirts the ghetto kids wear that hang down to their knees.
  13. Trying to find a decent t-shirt!!!

    Order TALL shirts instead of regular shirts. When they shrink they'll end up perfect.
  14. Shop Window Lettering

    No they won't. When it fails next years they'll go right back to the cheap shop again. The cheap shop will tell them X amount to redo it or XXX amount to redo it with better materials. They'll go the cheap route again. State of the Union....the vast majority of people are living in the...

  16. incentive programs

    My brother works for a small company that casts fiberglass architectural parts. They tried the bonus route by setting aside $5000 a quarter for bonuses and posting it on a big board by the time clock so everyone could keep up with it. They were hoping it would make everyone more careful so...
  17. What font to use ?

    Get away from the "sign painter" scripts and look more toward "calligrapher" scripts. Sloop is an excellent choice.
  18. logo critique

    Needs a couple of more effects and maybe some diamond-plate thrown in.
  19. Overlaid MDO plywood pricing

    Willing to bet you they're offering a laminated print mounted to pre-painted, single sided MDO (the stuff that's painted on the edges and one face, the other face is an oilboard type stuff)
  20. Alley Kat - help needed

    Need an icon. I'm just picturing bar glasses, lampshades, and staff shirts with a simple icon instead of a whole logo. Throw a rusted steel A and a gloss black cat on the wall and ....okay, I'm going back to work now. Just a rough idea.
