  1. Just curiou$

    I don't like to discuss price in an open forum but what you are charging is less than my minimum on a 4'x8'. I would certainly be charging more than you are, especially since it uses chrome and has all that copy. Love....jill
  2. Post can make the sign

    Jim, your posts are HUGE! ...and they look awesome. Love....jill
  3. Say goodbye to Jersey Shore for good

    Farm Kings is filmed in my township. Can't say as I will miss Jersey Shore. Love....Jill
  4. Sealing MDO edges

    I usually use aluminum composite panels. But when dealing with MDO or plywood I use exterior wood putty to fill any holes, then Elmer''s Tite Bond 2 wood glue, then some KILZ primer. Sanding in between of course. Then I use an oil-based enamel paint as a final coat. Love....Jill
  5. New Logo Project

    I like it! Eliminate the box, tho. Make the arrows closer together and shorten the leg of the L.
  6. Repainting mailboxes?

    I would definitely try to match automotive paint to their color. I think you're just asking for trouble otherwise with latex paint. Love....jill
  7. New Logo Project

    I do like the way Buck's reads. Can you try making the bottom D the front one? Yours still reads weird to me and I think if you used the suggestion of the Dds and the spacing in #16 your issues would be solved.
  8. New Logo Project

    IRECT needs to be bigger. For some reason the hole between the C and T bugs me. Do the DDs have the same slant or is that an illusion?
  9. Am I Nuts?

    Agreed 100%!
  10. This isn't looking good...major CPA trouble

    Had something very similar occur. It was the year that the state was allowing a forgiveness (can't remember the right term) on outstanding taxes. My gal acted like all was under control. She seemed to be taking an extra long time that year and did not file until the last possible day. Not only...
  11. New Logo Project

    Bottom, I don't mind the Hellvetica but make sure both lines of text have the same slant. And tighten up the DDs so there's not that little point of white in the middle. Love....jill
  12. Store Facelift

    That is totally cool and a huge improvement. To me, paint is not only faster but a million times funner. :) Impressive work! Love....Jill
  13. My house of poo

    I do hope your insurance covers this. You're going to need a whole new bathroom. My insurance did not cover my damage from Sandy. :( Love....Jill
  14. Am I Nuts?

    There's your answer right there. You will more than likely be paying to work and working for free if you do this. Sounds like you're bound and determined, I do hope it works for you but the reality of it is that it probably won't and you'll be out of both your money and your time.
  15. Excavating company logo...

    ^eliminating the slant might be a great idea.
  16. Am I Nuts?

    Not necessarily. This guy may have a bad reputation that you don't know about. And in a small town, when people hear that he has sold his business, they may think that the business is gone for good. You are probably going to have to work hard to get any sales. There will be a down time when you...
  17. sign business portfolio?

    In days of your I used a regular artist's portfolio with photos of my signs in it. (I think you can still buy these at Michaels') I even had a real crazy one I took to Letterhead meets that was faux fur on the outside (zebra) Anyway these days I just use FB or my website. But yesterday at work...
  18. Excavating company logo...

    Try using the same font you used in the subcopy. Try the initials in yellow. Try the diamond in red or even maroon. (unless the blue goes with something he already has) Love....Jill
  19. Am I Nuts?

    I would go to the bank and withdraw about $15,000 in assorted bills. Then take it out back and burn it. You will be better off doing that than trying to invest in a small-town sign shop. Signs, which were a once viable career to an artist, are dead as we once knew them. Unless you are a niche...
  20. idea for our new logo

    Top one, with the ampersand at the same angle. Make it some other color than baby poop brown. Like a bright orange. Lose the secondary inline outline. Use a font like Chesham Sans for the sign part. The other two are just nasty. Especially the bottom one. Love....jill
