I think it's time for a Photoshop upgrade. That tool is great!

Here's a logo I designed for a cattle farm...eh...sorta. The cattle farm is ficticious. This was more a technical exercise. I took some inspiration from Chuck Borges 'Desire' font and made Times New Roman Bold something worth looking at. Or at least I hope that's what I accomplished. This was...

Simply as an added precaution to seal and protect the edges of the graphic. Although some may find it unnecessary, I personally see no reason not to do it.

Ummm...and don't do it on your cutting mat. Use a smooth surface or every cut line, nick, and crevice of your cutting mat will rub through.

This is how you do a rubbing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D28KiP1Hv3g Rub over the registration mark area once the transfer tape is on top and the registration marks will show up. ;)

I've owned a large Grizzly benchtop milling machine, mini benchtop metal lathe, and large benchtop metal lathe. They all worked very well for being such economical tools. I would highly recommend Grizzly tools to anyone on a budget.....or not.

Exactly. We do it all the time, as well.

I just lettered a firetruck this same way last week. I used Oracal 951 black for the outline/drop shadow, Oracal 383 Ultraleaf for the gold, and Oracal 270F cast laminate over the top. Just set up registration marks for all of them. To locate the registration marks on the clear, I just use a...

But Dude, they've got the freshest inventory! :Big Laugh

Great job, guys!

Love it. I know where I will be buying a rip saw when that time comes.

We recently ordered 500 signs screen printed on polystyrene. The customer service and quality of the products we received was excellent. We will definitely go with FireSprint on into the future for our screen printed sign needs. I highly recommend these guys.

Same here. I have countless problems running Corel X5.

Same here. Creates a virtual proof that can be easily emailed to the customer for approval. Scaling and converting to a useable cut file is then a breeze once approved.

Signs 365.

Whatever you do, at least buy a decent Roland or Graphtec cutter. Don't buy a cheap imported cutter as you will most likely regret it shortly after. I speak from experience, having shelled out $900 for a subpar cutter, only to purchase a Roland a little over a year later. You can pick up decent...

Do you design your graphic over a photograph of the window, wall, vehicle, etc. that the graphic is being applied to, then scale everything based off given dimensions?

Helvetica, Myriad, or Frutiger are my go to sans serifs for things like storefront hours.

It looks like a bumper sticker, not a logo. A logo should not contain what you do, your phone number, location, web address, or anything but the company name and possibly an icon of some sort. It should be simple and to the point, which is to brand the business.
