It's possible they asked permission or paid a royalty. I used to be a nightclub DJ, every venue I played at paid yearly royalties to ASCAP, BMI and some other one that escapes me.

Is there an undersized clear acrylic backer behind the letters standing the letters off, allowing light to pass through? Or actually pinned off? I've designed and seen LED's inside acrylic, but they hot spot significantly.

I believe it's push-thru with thick acrylic… the substrate may be thin, but where the lettering is, I bet there is a cabinet housing the illumination that is set into the wall. The other image you show is also push-thru,

Before I saw your site, I was leaning on that being derivative work. But most of the dogs on your site have glasses, bow ties, even hats... By the way, really cool designs I may have to get the chihuahua tee. I think most dog owners are passionate about their dogs, especially when they...

Most, if not all franchise sign business models use the idea that you will hire an experienced sign person to run, or at the very least sell, design, fabricate and install for your business while you learn it. I'm pretty sure the franchise you allude to has that business model. I have a...

This might help... http://dator8.info/pdf/coreldraw/4.pdf It even mentions your selection issue.

You can also ask here like for instance your selection problem... Go to your ILLUSTRATOR menu on top... then go to PREFERENCES > SELECTION & ANCHOR DISPLAY > and select "OBJECT SELECTION BY PATH ONLY" I prefer LYNDA.COM

On your site, you have work all over the world... well, maybe not all over the world but seems you already have the capacity to develop sales from those clients if you have a market reach from Australia to Arizona... One of the clients on your portfolio page is a client of mine. You should...

Any available surface could be used to wipe me arse, that makes anything that I get to my backside fungible, I prefer the 3 ply softness of Charmin...

Having just left your Facebook page and site... Unless this shop has really crappy design work, don't see any advantage you might have over an established shop except maybe price. I think if the shop has some skill, you might end up being the loser here... based on your site and facebook page...

Geez, that was 5 years ago... You can learn a lot in 5 years.... What's nice about your thread/logo was it got me a good portfolio piece and ended up in Signcraft, probably should have tried for an Addy or some other design award.

I want the hour of my life back it took reading all 3 threads. :banghead:

Just so everyone knows... I'd take Joe's critique any day of the week... Man up... what a deek! By the way, this guy has had help from 2 of the best in the business... (Dan and Joe) And Joe is still willing to help... Humble yourself a bit...

Design it in black and white first... oh, and lose the outline.. NEWBIE!!!!

Finally figured out who this is.... How to be a successful sign shop? Inherit a successful family business. How to screw up a successful business? The few designers and SEGD members here on this forum, that are in your area, and have design work on your site, remove your business from...

Neither sample is illuminated, those are just plain acrylic signs and average stand-offs. I have been seeing this requests a few times, they usually replace a light fixture with the signs, so the electricity was going to be near the sign anyway... I imagine you are going to have to send...

ummmmmm I get this all the time with inspectors 655.603 Standards. (a) National MUTCD. The MUTCD approved by the Federal Highway Administrator is the national standard for all traffic control devices installed on any street, highway, or bicycle trail open to public travel in accordance...

------- I have Stanton blocked so I can't see his post or read his lame private messages, and really don't feel like wasting time reading his stuff as I have money to make myself... but. I see a lot of people with 10 - 15 - even over 30 years experience and still design (and produce)...

Every sign shop I send a bid too has an in-house deign team. I do believe we are in competition, but they don't have to hassle going back and forth with design, it's ready to bid. I throw them a 100-200k job, I don't think they will go behind my back and take my client but just in case...

We have trolls. I don't consider newbies trolls at all. They may come in with a sense of "entitlement", most are inconsiderate, but I think this forum can not exist without the newbies who participate. The reasons why people get into this business is usually because it's a creative outlet...
