All of the above looks like some sort of bizarre interpretation of the bat signal. Try for some whimsy instead. Not necessarily the typography, the colors, or the image as shown below, just the direction change.

Nature or nurture eh? While any animal can be trained, either willingly or unwittingly, to be a nasty specimen it is inarguable that some breeds are more aggressive [also defensive, submissive, and most any other -isive] than others. Having owned Komondorak, Great Pyrenees, Basset Hounds...

True but one of the fundamentals of this business is the client gets to specify what it says, no matter how stupid it might be, and you get to say how it says it. Perhaps this is corollary to refusing to write copy.

Before you start feeling all warm and fuzzy... There's too much house and too much 'American'. Too little 'Building Concepts' and a tiny tag line that's lost in the scrum. That constructive enough for you sparky?

You might want to mock-up the other side of the van with this slant where the text would be running downhill. Something you want to avoid. Uphill seldom looks bad and downhill seldom looks good. That notwithstanding, you have to decide if you want to say 'sterling SIGNS', "STERLING signs'...

Weld is what you want but before you do you might want to make the exposure of both circles the same. Right now they're not, one sticks out farther than the other.

Correct as far as it goes. For much the same reason that it's hard to take someone with magnets on their vehicle seriously. There is a point on one side of which demonstrates that you are a legitimate business, the other side of which announces that you are an amateur and/or dilettante. But...

Twaddle. This is the sort of nonsense heard from those selling some sort of branding services and/or consultants who know little and understand nothing. It's a card with my name contact information. It's clean and nice and not covered in boogers, typographical or literal. Anything more than...

It's a business card kids. Something you hand to someone rather than writing your name and number on piece of paper. It's not a visual feast, a collection of tactile thrills, or a pithy commentary on the human condition. It's a simple business card listing, hopefully, your name and contact...

Dogs are nature's way of teaching us unconditional love. May whatever gods there be take care of this fine friend and teacher.

Convert the logo to a transparent bitmap. In Photopaint or Photoshop apply a bump map to the logo bitmap created from the wood background. If you want it a bit weathered, add a little transparency to the logo bitmap.

Not Playbill unless someone took great pains to modify each and every serif with a little dip. This particular serif treatment is very common in western type faces, I'd be surprised if a modest amount of looking would turn up exactly what it is.

The weathered brush strokes might give you a clue that this is hand lettered. When you hand letter stuff like this unless you're operating under some sort of specification that requires you to cleave to a specific type face or another, you usually just make it up as you go along.

No matter what you do with the stuff eventually it's going to end up in the trash somewhere. After you use a tiny bit of it for all of the clever but inane uses around your shop, just save time and put the rest of it in the trash yourself. You won't destroy civilization with sticking a handful...

Exactly. You could probably drink the stuff. I've no doubt accidentally ingested enough of it over the years that, if it were toxic, would be sufficient to kill the entire Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

You must mean 'CDR'. To which RIP can you input .CDR files? Regardless... There's lots of color charts. Just Google 'PMS charts Corel'. In the bazillion hits this generates there will be lots of charts to download and print. Another method for exploring the possibilities for just one color...

Sure you can. Myself and others do it most every day. Pay no attention to the inevitable tsunami of posts telling you to try this or that CMYK mix. This is merely evidence that those specimens don't know anymore about it than yourself. There's a seemingly endless number of variables with...

Are there vector objects in Photoshop? I was laboring under the impression that Illustrator dealt primarily with vector objects and Photoshop dealt exclusively with bitmaps. Since the last time I even tried to use these was way back in the 90's and my lack of interest in either of these products...

Why? Why would anyone care about some sparse pale gray printing on the part you throw away? I'm consumed by curiosity.

Most any blueprint shop will have a scanner of Brobdingnagian proportions and for a modest fee will scan your original onto a file type and resolution of your choosing.
