Thank you, Gary. Great advice! I will be sure to price the removal that way. I know I've heard of people on this forum pricing removal that way in the past, but I didn't know if that was a widely acceptable method or not. However, it makes complete sense. Thanks again.

Okay, so I got a call from a local ambulance squad that recently purchased a used rig from another local community. This would potentially be our first ambulance job so before I write up an estimate I would like some opinions on time involved in removing the old graphics. Also any tips or...

I would drop the hat down a bit over the top of White Zinfandel and then make the copy at the top larger and divide it into two lines something like this... Sammy Taylor Memorial Scholarship ...so it's larger and reads better.

Hahaha! Classic.

I think #1 looks fantastic and is by far the best layout in my opinion.

If you need some Ed Hardy artwork to reference I should have about 50 sheets of his flash laying around somewhere. I can dig it up if you could use it.

Doh! But I like the lens thingy. However, it would seem that some people's eyes may not catch right on to it. I know mine do because I'm the one designing it, but if others don't get it, then perhaps a lot of people won't and I should just take your advice and stick with the basics, plain...

I think I would tend to submit a logo to the customer on whatever background goes with the mood or feel of the design. Since I'm very new to logo design and sign making in general I could use whatever advice you have, however. My thought was something that has or should have a sort of elegant...

I really like the top one, Jill. The font works well with the look you're going for and it's easy to read. The T's could use a little tweaking but nice overall. The second one looks good but lower case blackletter is usually always hard to read.

Good idea. What if I just tweak the e and the s a little bit? That any better?

Her quote to me is that she thinks the first one may be too masculine and she prefers the femininity of the second logo. I have to agree with her that it may be too artsy and chiseled considering the majority of her client base will be seeking wedding photography and family portraits.

Maybe this close up will better convey what I was trying to do with the R. I think it might look better had I rendered it from an actual photo of a camera lens taken at that angle with the right lighting, but i sorta pulled this out of my *** instead.

Thanks, Neato. The top of the R is supposed to represent a camera lens and the swoosh underneath the lettering is supposed to give the impression of a camera laying there. Kinda like an old 1950's SLR camera. Maybe it's too much?

Here are a couple logos I designed for a friend who is starting a photography business. She's not sure which one she wants to go with but she likes the second one a little better at the moment. Which do you guys like more and why? And what sucks about them?

It inevitably almost always takes more than one email to answer one simple question like that. I had a similar situation last week. It took upwards of five emails to get my point across to a customer. And to think, some people in this business that I know of prefer to do business through...

Tattoos are original artwork. They are usually the intellectual property of the tattoo artist or they are reproduced from tattoo flash that is the intellectual property of the flash designer. But I don't know what kind of legal dispute a tattoo artist would have over this kind of thing. I know...

Good critique. I pretty much agree with what you said, but I never noticed the "O" until you mentioned it. It definitely could use some fixin'. I really like the first one. I think the grey does drown out the detail of the red script, at least when it's enlarged. Oddly though, I don't...

When I was a tattooer, that's what we would call "ten pounds of 'stuff' in a 5 pound bag. In cases like that, when design requirements got extreme and there were too many elements involved, we either told them to go with something simpler or go with something simpler. There is always that fine...

Oops! I just noticed you had to revise the original and go with a new approach. Unfortunately it no longer looks as touristy, eh? It's a shame. I like the original Lincoln design so much better. The blue and orange definitely breathe Illinois, but the corn makes it look more like a produce...

That's a great tip. :) Thanks. :thumb: HDU is very forgiving to carve on. I've messed around with some sample pieces I picked up last year and it's amazing how fast you can cut and bevel letters with simple hand tools like jig saws, chisels, files, and sandpaper. No router necessary for a...
