  1. Business cards

    wow, that is a lot. you need a wholesaler. we use Business Card Express, they are in New Hampshire
  2. Is gerber going away

    the company has changed ownership maybe not doing as much as they used to. their products are made to last and work well. We have a very old plotter, a HSPlus 15 that pretty much has run for years with some very minor problems. we also have an Edge 2 that also has run for years just a couple...
  3. New site

    +1 not too sure about your logo. I know you were reworking it but what is the connection between Alpha and a mythical creature? not getting it. looks more like an ad for a Renaissance fair.
  4. My logo... thoughts?

    I like it!
  5. Neon sign on tile

    I was thinking the same thing. you might want to show it to the customer as it might make them change their minds as it looks sloppy. if they do say they are OK with it, hire a tile guy to drill for you as they have the right tool bits. another thing you may check into is local regs for...
  6. Friday fun - Ugly sign contest

    the tat sign is horrible on so many levels. the Atomic with that ill fitting cloud to the kerning on 2001. the graphics just plain bad. the colors are strange and then there is that font used for the name. it is a total yuck fest. the motel is bad and makes me cringe and would have been a...
  7. My logo... thoughts?

    post #13 the top or bottom right hand side but without the graphics on the top line. don't like the sloppy looking graphics on the others. like how you used the claw marks
  8. My logo... thoughts?

    with a different font for the services as suggested the larger services version seems to work better. for the name I too suggest another font or just get rid of the outlines as they clutter it up and add nothing. the claw marks are a pretty good idea but you have a three toed bear so it...
  9. VEHICLES - Do you produce artwork before or after deposit?

    people forget that what we sell isn't like a car or some other premade item, we are selling something that needs to be custom designed and that is a service in itself. showing them other jobs that have been done should be enough to give them an idea of what you can do.
  10. Wow... I feel like a stranger in a strange land...

    good to see you back on the site, extremely sad for the reason why. I am so happy that this site brought us together as friends and I always refer to you as the best friend I've never had the chance to meet. life has dealt you out a blow and I can't even imagine how you feel but just know that...
  11. Backlit curvable display panels

    that is what I think would work too
  12. What's Your Personal Favorite Tool...?

    my signburst inferno is my favorite tool. just love it. second favorite tool is my 18" steel ruler that a co-worker lost. they don't make them the same any more and doing my best to love it but miss my ruler everyday. hope she is out there somewhere beign treated well
  13. Sign help

    change the dimensions so they fit. the one you have doesn't fit the area which doesn't work well on a sigh shop sign as people will notice that
  14. Sign help

    go with Neatos format idea as it always looks better to work with the area you have and to use it to your advantage. your design looked forced like a size 18 trying to wear size 10 pants
  15. Backlit curvable display panels

    are they interior or exterior? if interior, maybe you could have the plexi (I would use lexan, not plexi) as a plain backer and then print onto clear thin plastic and slide that in with the plexi/lexan
  16. Gotta love "design firms"

    you are missing the point. these people collect a check from the customer and sell them a design package taht can be taken out into the world for all their needs. the package is not that at all. it has to be reworked and the customer gets charged for that. the files are a mess and yes we an...
  17. Training a New Employee

    knowing what sells a product or service is important when designing as how do you know to design to appeal to the right market? the two go together and without some knowledge of marketing, it is just a guess as to what sells the business you design for. do I claim to be an expert in marketing...
  18. Why aren't there sign design contests for normal signs?

    just what I was talkign about. not being the cheapest in town and not price matching is the way to go. put out a good product that has value and let the others do whatever it is they do as it isn't soemthing that can be compared. those who do walk away and go somewhere else are only thinking...
  19. Why aren't there sign design contests for normal signs?

    you bring up some really good points. people will gather to talk about pinstriping a garbage can but there doesn't seem to be a group that will gather to discuss the financial end of it. we too have had to deal with the home garage based sign shops and all the rest. seems like no matter where...
