If my aunt were otherwise equipped she would be my uncle. Your dearth of knowledge of typography seems only exceeded by your lack of understanding of the syllogistic form 'Material Implication'. For those of you that when to public schools, that would be a statement in the form 'If ... Then ...'.

What you don't seem to be aware of are the fundamental rules of typography. Break them at your peril and because you do understand them, not. as is your case, because you don't. When you say "every single one of us" you attempt to include yourself in a group of which, if this monstrosity is...

Perhaps people push but you seem to resist. This is a typographical disaster. About a 10 on the typesetting Richter scale. Total devastation. One does not arc italics, one does not arc script, and one does not arc upper and lower case. Generally. You have incorporated this trifecta of taboos...

No, I'm talking about the excess vinyl that lies outside the rectangle you cut around the images. Unless, of course, in the photos you posted the image is white vinyl on a gray backing paper. I assumed it was gray vinyl on a white backer. Silly me.

I never said it wasn't completely weeded, I said that there's a border of excess vinyl. It looks very much like a bounding rectangle was cut around the text and the final product will be trimmed to this rectangle. What's outside this rectangle is excess vinyl. Regardless of the presence of...

Trim the excess vinyl down to 1/2" or so or, more better, get rid of it completely, before you mask. What's happening here is the relatively massive amount of waste vinyl is grabbing onto the mask far more aggressively than the neighboring areas where there is no vinyl. Which is exactly what it...

Standard? As pronounced by what authority? The reason, the ONLY reason, that Adobe products [and Apple as well] see widespread use is that both companies pretty much give their stuff to academia. From these institutions young heads full of mush go forth to make their way thinking that the...

The first time you nail your shins on the roll holder when it's in the down position you'll figure out another way.

Peace my friend. You come in alone and you go out alone but as long as a single person remembers, you live on. I will remember. Pax vobiscum.

From where did the registration marks come? Did you add them or are they the result of specifying a contour cut line? If the former then do the latter. If the latter then...shrug.

In my collection it's called 'Staccato555'. A hideous type face, especially in all caps.

For the umpteenth time... While it might be a dying motor or perhaps a malfeasant belt, try simply blowing the dust and crud out of the tool carriage, especially the blade up/down mechanism. More often than not, but not always, this sort of crappy cutting is caused by a build-up of...

Nice? Badly spaced brush script's vicious cousin and Yet Another misuse of Copperplate aren't nice. They're a typographical mid-air collision.

If the curve isn't compound, in other words it's flat up and down and only curved left to right [or vice versa], intermediate will work just as well as if it were on a flat surface. Even at that, a 10' diameter silo would have a circumference of 31.4159265...feet. A 4' arc on a 31' circle...

Not husband and wife but golf nonetheless... It was a slow day in heaven so god told his kid, Jesus, they were going to shoot a round of golf. They both metaphysically appeared at the first tee of the country club, appropriately attired, and god, being god, had the honors, teed up and...

Really? The layout, typography, and lettering are aggressively mediocre and that airbrush cartoon work is rather amateur. The sort of work you'd expect from car show airbrush wranglers whipping out t shirts.

The original post and the twenty-odd replies are, all of them and especially those attempting alternatives, confirming instances of why sign people should generally refrain from attempting to do logos. Sign people do signs and a logo is supposed to be a symbol, an icon, preferably one that's...

Why? Bad is bad and the worth or lack thereof of anyone else's ensign does not make it a damn bit better.

'Amateurish' is too kind. Hideous is a far more accurate descriptor. It looks like the result of a collaborative project done by the remedial class at an institution for the typographically insane.

This has been around since X3. I thought that perhaps they would fix it in X6 but alas not. I talked to Corel after the X6 release about this very problem and all I got was a big shrug. There is no way that anyone seems to know to fix this but you can avoid the problem by always removing the...
