The current law in Texas says that only licensed Architects and Master Electrical or Sign Electrical can design an electrical sign. I personally think thats ridiculous to think only those two groups are qualified to "design" a sign. I have had Master Electrical Sign contractors in Texas...

Not knowing much about a certain specialty in the sign business has some advantages. There is a reason I don't make what I design, it's a lot of work and you have to rely on quite a few people. Though for some reason I feel the need to try myself. My only advice is, love your work. If this...

I'm curious how many people will sign up for that and get rid of their Creative Cloud account. I have Corel so this is no big deal to me, but once they went with the 1 seat deal and had everyone catch up on the upgrades on the software, that sorta irked me a tiny bit. You still get to...

I'm reminded quite a few times of my mechanical delivery... I'm actually not this way in real life... right now, I'm sitting down by a messy desk in yesterdays t-shirt and chonies... okay the chonies are todays... oh purdy pics!!!

If it's a county government, and it's over a certain amount, is usually has to go out to competitive bid. Usually a county government is good for it, but I bet you're thinking it would have been nice to have known that before going into all that design work. I hope you got paid for all...

Looks like the "M" and "W" are doing the hibbity dibbity... or maybe I'm horny... Nice to know you have to do crap work too. I was beginning to think you had fun all day! oh, he should pick yours...

When you say "artwork", what did you do? Did you design the logo? or just reproduced the logo? or did they supply you with the logo? If thats your logo design, then the sign shop ripped you off, or did they? Maybe the client forwarding that .pdf saying it was theirs... someone had to give...

Reads like an old sign criteria that has been copied from an older sign criteria with modernized mechanical whoohaaa Reads like neon/halo lit, 5" letters to me... but I might push LED's Designing it and sending it off for owner approval would tell you if this is correct.
