    The restroom sign is required to be ADA compliant... so no gloss, raised visual text all caps, san serif min 5/8" max is 2" then braille below. If the other signs like the cashier are supposed to identify a permanent space, then they will be required to comply with ADA.

  3. iGenius: How Steve Jobs Changed the World

    I stayed up for it, the show was weak. You're right, it was a highlight reel.

    Hey GG, it say's it starts at 1:00 am here.
  5. Cute sign description.....................

    You need to check the transportation standards guideline book for ports, airports and railways to see if they use the term reflectorated. If not, beat him with it, it's a massive document, I'm sure it would knock some sense into him.
  6. Career choice stress

    It's like that line in City Slickers... but instead of it being the secret to life, it's the secret to a career. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k1uOqRb0HU) Vinyl is not signage, it may be that after a few years of playing with vinyl, it's not as satisfying to you... there is more to signage...
  7. Weeding Nightmare!?

    Like Gino said, I would screen print it... if it is on clear glass, then I would screen the brown on the inside, the green on the outside. one trip... If it have to be vinyl, I would print the image on a white stripe that way it had a white background to make it pop, you might possibly add some...

    Okay, here is your soup....

    I see 5, NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!
  10. Design help

    You might get more help after you introduce yourself... A few questions: Is that the existing logo? Double or Single Sided? Is that oval dimensional? Is that an existing sign that is being refurbished? or a new monument? How big? Illuminated or non-illuminated? ----- ---Too many typefaces, I...
  11. Inspiration

    Usually my funk comes from some stress, too many cookie cutter jobs or too many clients messing up the design and me ending up wallowing in mediocrity. Designers usually get paid to think, so any distractions need to be eliminated or put in their place while you are thinking. I pretty much try...
  12. Any Ideas on ID here?

    House Industries: the font is from the CD that came with House Industries 10th Anniversary book. It's from the Movement collection and called "SIGN"... They probably sell the font on their site now that the book is out of print.
  13. Best employee gripe so far...

    This man needs medication, hospitalization and possibly a frontal lobe removal... I envy people like this... I live with the idea that I suck, have no talent and always trying to overcompensate for my ill-perceived shortfalls, I'm not normal... this bonehead walks around with that stuff...

  17. elance...

    elance has too many people... if you start looking around at all the people, it ends up being a bunch of noise. On freelance work (or getting clients), I have had way more luck networking with former co-workers and clients I got from them than any other means. And anytime I get a client that...

    This looks interesting...
  19. elance...

    Lets see... get the occasional 50-100 buck logo that will probably not be portfolio worthy, or knock on a few doors, send out a few mailers and get one years worth of elance work in one month with hardy any effort... I'm lazy with my marketing... really lazy with it, and I still get work...
  20. Consulation Fee?

    I know this type of shop, they drive me crazy... At my old job, when we made a sign package to bid on, a few of our clients opted to weed out a low baller that were stupid low. On Government jobs, we did not have that option but made it very clear that the specs had to be met, and that the...
