I definitely understand where you're coming from. I guess all I can say is I didn't create the color scheme. The company that did has been doing this since the early 80's and their primary customer base is hospitals. Also, colors can look very different from one computer to the next. If...

The attached might show the true color better. Anyway, I'm 99% sure it's Corian 'Raffia' which I believe is one of the most popular colors for sign programs like this. Get out of my head. :) I can't say that same thought didn't already cross my mind.

Those in the pictures look darker to me than they actually are. I'll look for some pictures that show the coloring better...

Understood and I agree 100%. I perform installations for other sign companies, so I don't spec anything personally. But I realize that doesn't release me from responsibility. They give me the signs and floor plans and I go install them. If I'm aware of a glaring error though, I'll obviously...

I'm absolutely not an expert on ADA requirements, but I thought the 70% contrast was a recommendation, not a requirement...? Regardless...I can't imagine having to remove 200+ signs due to contrast issues. That would make for a bad day.

It's great exercise. I should have gotten a pedometer...I bet I walked a 1/4 mile per site. I surveyed and installed vinyl for a number of Bank of the West locations out there in SF some years back and the fog/humidity killed me. It was the frosted vinyl to boot, so it made for a long couple...

Thank you! And yes, Corian. The only thing I didn't care for was that the corners on the new directories were mitered to save on material, whereas the existing directories were cut from a solid piece. Customer spec though, so it is what it is.

These were for Starbucks...it's no huge secret I guess. I've never surveyed Walgreens, but I did survey for the Eckerd/CVS conversion as well as the Rite Aid conversion a few years back. That was a massive project.

This was another time-crunch job (aren't they all?). Approximately 250 various signs had to be installed over a period of about four days. Again, Precision Sign Services is just me, so I had my work cut out for me. The entire job took just under a week due to shipping issues. I wound up...

No...same number of letters in the name though. :)

It's not a wrapped vehicle, or a 100' tall pole sign, or a cool bowling alley monument sign, but it was a huge job for me. Precision Sign Services is just 'me', so it felt good to get this done. I had two weeks to complete exactly 50 surveys. They stretched from the Dallas / Fort Worth area...

(Seems like this would be a nice sticky unless recommending a non-merchant designer is against forum policy...) I did a search for this topic, but the keywords are used in virtually every thread title and post, so the results were a bit overwhelming. Who are the recommended "go-to" guys &...

Oh, and for you Texans, Central Market (and other places I'm sure) sells "Wickles"...a spicy pickle. They're greatness. I'm pretty positive they've been injected with some kind of an addictive substance.

I'm from NY originally but down here in Texas now. Kind of on the same subject as pickles (kind of), what I really miss are the New England style hot dog buns. I have yet to find them down here. The amount of crust on a regular hot dog bun is completely unnecessary. So you north-easterners...

...what would?

My logo is a flop and I'm not a designer, so just my two cents.... I like the diamonds better than the dots, and I would do the colors in order (CMYK).

All valid points, thank you. Now I'm at the crossroads of whether or not to scrap this design as well and once again, start over. I wish I had found this site sooner. I appreciate everyone's input - thank you.

Also nice, thank you. I'm literally receiving my business cards and flyers with the crosshairs design today. I'm at the point now where I no longer have the time to develop a new logo. Perhaps in a year or so I'll launch a re-design and funnel my money to someone here that is actually in the...

Yeah, Omaha is lacking in the scenery department. But it also gave us Tim Kasher, so that's a good thing! :smile:
