  1. Source needed for a unique colored vinyl

    a very long time ago, I had some white pearl vinyl and I can't even remember where it came from, maybe Spar-cal or Universal which, I think, might have been bought out by Avery. the problem with it was it looked great but was so thin it picked up the color it was applied to so it looked muddy...

  3. My new Logo/Company name

    geez, once again we get a newbie with a crappy layout and we turn on each other like a pack of rabid badgers. it's a wonder that anyone bothers with this site any more.
  4. Another Oddball Customer Request

    the magnetic and steel board will work also a board with clear acrylic slip sheet holders would work
  5. It's okay to not make every change to a design that others suggest.

    so true as most of the family base their changes on their favorite color or want the LLC huge or some other thing that has nothing to do with anything. when they get into the area of they don't get it, then I listen. all designs are for the untrained, non-professional eye to see. if the...

    you make wraps look great and with no diamond plate, skulls, torn metal, unreadable lettering, neon green or strange swirly things...refreshing to your work, congrats on the cover, it is well deserved
  7. Coming Soon Banner

    the only thing I would change is to be consistent on the type of shadow as you have a soft shadow on everything but the one line that has a hard shadow. other than that, it looks great
  8. 2 logo ideas. Need help with direction

    try a few things that have a more modern feel to them. go to bing.com and just look at logos to get an idea of what works for other companies, not just sign shop logos, but logos in general. see what gives you a visual image of the type of business you are. you know your business better than...
  9. 2 logo ideas. Need help with direction

    well, do have to say not a bod idea to upgrade your logo fro what you had. the paint brush has been done to death. are you more of a wrap shop or signs shop? what kind of signs do you make? classic, carved or lighted/LED type? try to find something that fits your image. if you are middle...

    had they posted it here first, we would have told them to hire a designer
  11. My new Logo/Company name

    time to weld or not makes no difference when you have no talent. just do what you have as it is wonderful and amazing. love the bear coming out of the letters and the great colors you picked. it is a winner and will work great to help you sell your amazing talents. just as well be honest and...
  12. 2 logo ideas. Need help with direction

    is there a third option? top one is more for hand painted/classic signs. bottom one might have been new school in the 1980's but not so much today. you need something more current looking
  13. My new Logo/Company name

    totally agree that showing them something better is no help at all. helping people find the way by suggesting what to try next does. so many here jump right in and draw up their version, we all say nice, do that and nothing is learned. the problem I had with this design was there was no where...
  14. My new Logo/Company name

    it is pretty horrid looking. the fonts are bad. the colors are bad. the format is bad. the state or part of a state or whatever that is bad. usually there's some bones to a bad layout that can be fixed but I'm not seeing anything that can be moved or re-done to help this. why not try...
  15. Vinyl Lettering/Graphics

    how do you charge for small stuff? it would be the same only bigger. do you charge by the letter and height or what? how do you sell your vinyl? just do that unless you just pull a number out of the air
  16. Help with shadow

    it's under the Gerber section so one can assume it is Gerber... Fred posted the a really good "how to" and that's about all there is to it, good luck
  17. Roller skater / Roller Disco design !!!!

    your beggest problem is nothing about this says 1970's disco skater. do some research by going to bing and taking a look at the roller disco from the 1970's so you can get an idea of the colors and style. they didn't wear helmet for one thing so that kills the whole image. roller disco was...
  18. Stripping old banners

    their banners look great and for just about anything a banner is used for, it works. a banner is a temporary sign just like coroplast so they don't need to last forever. it has nothing to do with people being lazy. we used to do the higher end banners with hems sewed with matching thread and...
  19. Tony at Gerber

    I copied all my fonts onto a flash and went in thru windows explorer and dropped them into the Gerber font folder. for some reason, I coudl see them but couldn't access them in composer. Tony had me go back the the old computer, select all of the fonts and copy them then paste them onto the...
