super clean, easy to navigate... but 2 things --- The girl doing the "OK" sign looks like she's trying to hard to pass a field sobriety test... --- The header/page shifts from page to page... kinda distracting.

I dig Flames ink splat top copy... You have so many opportunities here, you should have ideas all over the place and this would be low on the list if you really give more effort on other concepts. The "Graphics" copy is too hard to read... I would set this aside for now and come up with some...

So what if the back of the sign is visible, slap a panel on the back to hide the attachment. 5-6 discs seems like a lot to me. Fewer stand-offs and mechanically attaching it and hiding the attachment with a panel seems like a cleaner solution. Or drill through the acrylic discs and...

If this is a "permanent" sign, tubing would be standard in my opinion. I would use "RECTANGLE" tubing to get more surface to adhere too. Lords Adhesive is different that 3M stuff you were looking at. It's an epoxy, is exterior grade and can handle harsher conditions that you have.

Lords adhesive with 3M's VHB would be fine. The other way would be forget the PVC and use 3/4" x 1 1/2" aluminum tubing to give it the thickness then goop it on with Lords adhesive to the aluminum frame. That way you don't have to deal with varying expansion rates.

With your "arithmetic", if they don't buy the sign, are you out 200 bucks?

I'm a designer, I don't make signs, just design them, so I have to charge... I have 3 shops I work for that give my work away to sell the signs - they make money - I do not 100% agree with that policy. My opinion is MY sign shop would charge for logo design and if they wanted to shop my sign...

my avatar is protected under fair use, plus I added more bulge..

This looks like a googled photo slapped on a shield... if it is, my furry, pitted buttock has more copyright protection... if it's clipart... then I'm trademarking me bum...

It is funny when you think about it... technology made it easy, and now it's found a way to make money without doing the actual work... I should have thought of it myself...

ouch indeed...

What I meant was, a site IS coming online... it MAY be soon. It did launch and was pulled because there was an outrage from the design community, mostly SEGD and the site's affiliiation with a large sign company. The rights to the site and design have been sold and I'm assuming that the site...

For the real retro feel, I would look into letter press on really thick stock (165lb), maybe even edge tipping (color the edge) http://www.beastpieces.com/

After the shifting opinion I have seen on this site on crowdsourcing logo design - fair is fair, sign shops should start doing freebie layouts... By the way, Sign Design Community may be coming online soon where any clown can get a free layout and competitive bidding. But if it were me, I...

In California, if you took the order for a non-illuminated sign with installation that requires a contractors license, you must have your own contractors license to install or sub it out. Either a D-42 or C-45.

I cut into the backer too, the only way I got rid of the problem in most cases was to cut it more than thousandths of an inch (but it left a tool mark) or run the tool by hand...

oops, even after you pull the waste Rowmark, I have cut through the adhesive with the tool and cleaned the letters up... and the colder the room is, the easier it is to pull it.

What I taught was to use a worn engraving tool and go around the letters to cut through that adhesive before I weed them. When you go around the letters pretty fast but you will feel resistance when you hit that adhesive. Where you hit the adhesive, cut through it as close to the letter as...

I'm pretty sure you are trying to make custom pool signs. From what I understand, there is no digital form of the images for sale. I have done hundreds of custom pool signs for apartments and it can be a pain during inspection. All pool signs in California are part of the Health and Safety...
