  1. Customer Supplied Substrate Question (plastic)

    Thanks again fellas! :)
  2. Painted farm sign.

    Sorry for the bad pix. I will drive out to the farm to get a better photo once the sign is installed. This was VERY intimidating for me to paint a combine and a quad tractor. The client had inquired with a few sign companies and they wanted to just slap a photo of a combine on his sign...not...
  3. Customer Supplied Substrate Question (plastic)

    Luckily this seems pretty fresh. I go from the "high" of just having a customer tickled pink to pick up a hand painted sign to now dealing with plastic fantastic.
  4. Customer Supplied Substrate Question (plastic)

    Thanks again. I do remember the last time I got polycarb that it was rolled up. And the acrylic I bought had a brown masking that was delightful to remove. I'll unmask these today and cut the vinyl tomorrow.
  5. Customer Supplied Substrate Question (plastic)

    Hmmm. It sounds neither! Just glad that either side is OK to use. Thanks. The masking is the same on both sides. I loathe this type of sign. Customer bought a used sign from CL and wanted me to strip the faces...I sent him to Laird Plastics.
  6. Customer Supplied Substrate Question (plastic)

    I have to apply translucent vinyl to two sheets of substrate a customer got at Laird Plastics. I dunno what it is exactly. It's white plastic but whether it is polycarb, Lexan, acrylic or whatever is not obvious. It's masked with a tan masking that reads TG MASKING by PLASTIKOTE. My question...
  7. New Retirement Plan

    There were no Hostess products left at my local grocery store yesterday. I did, however, manage to snag a loaf of Town Talk bread for those turkey sandwiches later this week. I don't like Twinkies but I will miss Ho Hos. Little Debbies or Tastykakes are just not the same. Love....jill
  8. New Logo

    Much nicer than what you had before. Love...Jill
  9. Pricing Help Please

    I'd be using cast vinyl rather than calendared. Love....Jill
  10. Maps on business cards and postcards

    I just make a simple map using lines. Here's an example from two old bizcard backs. Much easier to do and I think it looks cleaner than some imported map. Love....Jill
  11. flower logo

    Here's a real quick quickie, I used a flower I had from an old job as an example.
  12. flower logo

    I actually agree with them. That flower looks like something for a quilt. A rose would be more appropriate as well as a nice script. Yours is very masculine looking. Love...Jill
  13. Hello From A Supplier

    You have a branch right near me. Welcome from PA. Jill
  14. Logo critique

    It's all just kind of hanging there like pieces of furniture on different corners of a room. Add an area rug (a background shape) to pull then all together. Love....Jill

    Don't change a thing. Welcome to the neighborhood. Jill
  16. Condolences go out to Scott @ Watson Engraving and Signs

    Wow. That is just terrible news. I hope everything will be OK eventually. Love....Jill
  17. Font Help Please

    You could probably squeak by with LHF Stevens Percepta Modified. Love....Jill
  18. Sign companies raping other sign companies

    I don't install signs. I do sub out an installer and get their price first, then I write that right into the proposal. It's all part of doing business. I just finished up a job where the install was only $50 cheaper than the actual cost of the signs (over $1400) If it wasn't for the installer, I...
  19. Travel Time and Charges

    If I have to go out to a site to measure, etc. and it's further than 25 miles out, I will charge a trip fee of $25. If they hire me, I will deduct that from the price of the job. Of course, if it was more than 100 miles I would charge the equivalent of a tank of gas. But that never happens to...
  20. Classroom Design Challenge open to all

    I think #55 is my fave. Here's another quickie.
