  1. City of South Beloit

    Here's a quick suggestion. Is the South as important as Beloit?
  2. This is what the Drunk Driver did to us (GRAPHIC)

    Wow. Thank goodness you're OK. Why people drink (or text) and drive is beyond me. Love....Jill
  3. City of South Beloit

    Adding the gradient did not help. Try losing that, flipping the goose, and blending the B into the circle. I'd draw something up but I'm too lazy and you probably wouldn't listen to my advice anyway. :)
  4. Logo for a Cake Business

    Have a dragonfly or a cake but not both. Maybe a cupcake with a little dragonfly pick looking thing. No Scriptina, if you must use it, watch the kerning and only use it for one of the words. Or just use Pat's idea. Love....Jill
  5. City of South Beloit

    The latest batch are all pretty awful. I see you breaking three "rules" I try to live by: Never distort a script Never use all-caps in a display face (top left) If something has eyes they should be looking into the layout (middle left) Jhill's is nicer than anything you've attempted.
  6. give feed back on new logo

    It might be a good idea to try the yield sign as a background. See how much nicer gmr55's gradient looks?
  7. City of South Beloit

    It does look like a total rip-off of the Pine City logo with a smidgen of Obama. There's way too much going on. I'd do the name in a pretty script with a blue underline in a soft wave, and maybe a yellow circle for the i dot with a flying goose silhouette off to the side. Or get really basic...
  8. give feed back on new logo

    I'd slant the panel, the same slant as the initials.
  9. Applying vinyl to flex face material

    I've only done this once, and the flex face was taut. I used Calon 2 translucent and treated it just like a regular sign. Applied dry with a gold squeegee then after I removed the transfer tape I heated it gently with a hairdryer and went over everything with a felt squeegee. I was out of my...
  10. phone etiquette

    I hate people in general whether it's by phone or via email. Everyone is only concerned with tire kicking for the cheapest price, and people are so bad at replying to emails yet expect you to jump when they contact you. With the "real" job I have to answer the phone there, and I can feel the...
  11. Liability Insurance rates... state of the union.

    I'm at about $500 a year. Up from last year with nary a claim. I just had my auto and home insurance combined with a new policy via Farmer's. I'm gonna save $840 a year for better insurance. They are reworking my business insurance now. Love....Jill
  12. The Flying Avocado

    Nice and clean. Very posh looking. Love....Jill
  13. give feed back on new logo

    The initials are OK but the script is awful looking for a sign shop. I'd add a panel at the bottom and put Graphics in it, not in a script and not italic. Try using a golden yellow as the top portion of your gradient, the peachy color looks kind of sissy to me. Love....Jill
  14. Fred, are you going to allow this?

    When's Mainframe gonna chime in? :) Love....Jill
  15. Need help with these 2 fonts please

    Insurance is Lucida Handwriting Love....Jill
  16. Venting: F this life

    Hey, at least you still have a job. It could be worse. Or you could have to get a job at a freaking deli after 27 years of self employment and have to wait on your least favorite customer who asks "So you aren't making the signs anymore?" :) Love....Jill
  17. People wanting scraps

    I get a cheap-*** farm market wanting coroscraps to make their own signs. (to mark their produce in their farm market) They used to buy their signs from me but now get them free thru some government program. Vynull scraps, what I don't use (I am very resourceful) I give to a local preschool.
  18. Bookkeeper Sign Layout - Layout Help

    There are still some problems with your layout. The J in Jamie needs to be moved over to the right a tad. The copy at the top portion needs to be moved down a bit. My name font is a freebie called Stephanie Marie (thanks Tim) Be careful with using a paint mask. It's an option, of...
  19. What's your most profitable item? Why?

    Darn it! I need 1½" stars.
