    $1,500 for a 4' x 8' sign with 14' posts sounds about right. you only get $320 for a 4' x 8'? you are doing something wrong as that is cheap

  12. Hiking signs

    so you wouldn't lay your Mr Smarty pants abilities on them or anyone who does writes their own copy in really bad way, only point it out with no suggestions? I didn't with this one as these guys are huge and do things their own way and usually don't want any help. on a normal customer, I would...
  13. Use of trademarked logos

    I think most of the data base was lost in the bog site crash or I'd say to a site search as links to news articles have been posted many times on the site about this very thing. Disney doesn't care how small you are. these people make a ton of money selling the images they own and have no...

  20. where can i buy Acrylic or plastic sign sheets for backlit signs?

    when asking for a where to buy, it would be helpful if you added in the -----, state area. check your local area where ever that may be to see if there is a plastic supplier near by. there is one in my area and I live in a small state so you may have one too. who do you buy your sign supplies...
