  1. Logo feedback

    Showing your ideas together shows a bad habit... STOP SQUISHING AND SQUEEZING YOUR TYPE... If you have to do it, do it for a reason. With so many typeface out there I'm sure there was one out there that is better suited without having to abuse a typeface. Your turned Signmaniacs...
  2. What to charge?

    It is a lot of small type? What's your normal hourly rate? The layout rate is good, the cut weed mask sounds low to me. I would think 35 an hour is the lowest I would go. With your pricing, you would average $43.75 If you bumped up to 35 an hour on the production, then it would...

  4. An Art Degree Does Not An Engineer Make!

    So the company you work for wants to make their own signs instead of having a sign shop make them? I don't have a problem with that, but, as an in-house designer, you would think they would get you some training. Have you tried...
  5. Looks like it wasn't meant to be.

    It's mind boggling the hours wasted... and how much money is in it for the host.
  6. Looks like it wasn't meant to be.

    No one believes you got Gino kicked off... You are not a hypocrite... The math is... If one designer spends 15 minutes to make 50 bucks... that designer only made 50 bucks... not 200.00. Interesting that if they lose the contest, they only lose 15 minutes and not 200 bucks I've seen...
  7. Looks like it wasn't meant to be.

    Joe, I just took a peek at 99 Designs... they did $2,069,196 in payouts, if that is what they paid out, then they took in 2-3,00,000 bucks, (they pay 30-50% of each contest) they have 90 employees in three offices. I'm thinking someone made about 1-2 million bucks. Designers aren't the...
  8. Where to get these acrylic signs

    Oh, that explains it... so a lot of signs huh? They probably should have passed it by the inspector first. We have a separate ADA and code for healthcare facilities here. Adds another hassle to the process.you should be able to have C & C Engraving do the engraving/braille part, and you can...
  9. Where to get these acrylic signs

    This place will have the attachments... http://www.hangups.com I don't think they have the panels... you might try a local plastic supply or buy a heating element and fold them yourself...

  11. Looking to source a mobile sign stand [Image attached]

    If I remember correctly, Mission Viejo's city hall stanchions are custom.
  12. Quoting Hand Painted

    We definitely want to do more! I was thinking, I can't afford to be leisure about it. We are struggling with what to take on, and what to pursue in the future. We are in the process of getting into ADA signs, and finding other areas to use the equipment but hand painted/craft signs are...
  13. Quoting Hand Painted

    To all my peers... Not to brag but... I walked away from my house this last November... Live with my parents... (I'm 52) Witnessing the downward spiral of my child and wife into drug addition... Separated for 3 years... Wife's been in the hospital for the last 2... Just found...
  14. Quoting Hand Painted

    I do, the 2014 pricing guide doesn't cover hand lettering anymore. It says to use the intermediate to complex pricing... if I use that as a guideline, I'm in the ball park.
  15. Quoting Hand Painted

    From a guy doing 50 dollar gang bang logos... You made it very clear in PM what you thought of me... (as if you really know me) personally could care less what you think.
  16. Quoting Hand Painted

    We are dry brushing it, but might add some added colors depending on how the client directs us. (I am adding combat pay for that) This comment scares me... thanks! Thanks...
  17. Quoting Hand Painted

    I use a square footage price because it's the way it was taught to me... simple is one price, and goes up depending on complexity. Now obviously that was a different time, and he was a production shop. But my old boss was a shrewd business man, and a darn good craftsman, not about to...
  18. Quoting Hand Painted

    Oh were getting paid! They are spending quite a bit on the exterior sign, remodel, and refitting the bar and kitchen. They can afford it.
  19. Quoting Hand Painted

    2400.00 for all 3, all very simple design. Hadn't figured out the exact paint I wanted to see how the brick took the paint. as going to test a few... I'll try Novacolors... thanks!
