I added a new page for wholesale design type stuff. https://www.facebook.com/JillbeansDesign I do "like" the biz pages but the personal pages are not as easy!

You know, when I was a kid living at home I used to love to drink Pepsi. I got married at 19 and moved out, and then I couldn't afford Pepsi (or even cheap generic nasty pop) so I just gave it up. I ended up not even missing it. Fast forward 30 years. Now that I have my "real" job there is...

When I do reflective, (cut vynull) I only use 3M. It is more expensive, but it is far easier to work with. A few fire companies specify that I use it. I used Avery once because it was cheaper (roll striping) had a failure within 10 days. When I need a reflective print, I outsource via a MM here...

So you did the job first without giving them a price? Seems like you're working backwards. The last time I did something that size was with paint (about $300 in materials) and my part of the two 10'x20' signs (repainting) was about 2400 if memory serves. No pattern, no plotting, no projecting...

Thomas Neon in Valencia PA. (neon is not his last name) Love....Jill

^We've all heard that one before when someone is defending a poor logo attempt. Try your latest without the bevel and texture.

I'd be quite reluctant to use 1S, it has let me down so often. Especially if you need a clearcoat, I'd be terrified of orange peel. Have you tried Hot Hues? What about HOK? Or Createx? Love....Jill

I use a hair dryer and a gold squeegee. (I always hurt myself with heat guns) Love....Jill

Maybe try here: http://pittsburgh.lairdplastics.com/ Love....Jill

Here in Steelers country that could be a very bad thing. Luckily my "big" client uses regular yellow. Love....Jill

Buck's says elegance...your original says cubic zirconia on a ring that will turn your finger green. (no offense to Steve C, I love that font but not for a jewelry store) Love....Jill

Is your light source coming from the same spot on the lettering and the icon? I think the colors are too christmassy, I'd try a process blue on the lettering. Definitely lose the background entirely. The name reminds me more of a spacy-jetsons looking icon than a nut & bolt-looking one. Love....jill

The "Brown" part looks to have Brush Script somewhere in its family tree. Love....Jill

This is what I charged for a hand-painted 4'x8' on plywood in 1990. All this technology now so that we can keep getting cheaper makes me sad. I'm considerably higher now, and I mainly use aluminum composite. Love....Jill

I'd be more like this.

I love Pat's simple suggestion. I'd run with it rather than adding clutter to the middle idea. Which could still be put right beside the icon, sans kitty.

There are too many angles in your latest concept. (I don't like the big holes between the X and the T/U) I'd try caps and l/c. And I'd pit the subcopy in a panel to give the whole thing a solid base. Love....Jill

Middle one...more space between the Alley and the Kat. Maybe no cat in there at all, it really doesn't need to be that literal. Love....Jill

I always think Phillip does a great job. The colors look really muted on my monitor, though. Love....Jill

I really do appreciate the good advice. Hopefully this person will order these signs.
