Personally, I've switched almost entirely to Avery 1005EZ for wrap applications. Used to use IJ180-v3 but about a year ago our Fellers Rep got me to try a roll of the 1005. It was like laying down butter. Loved it. I was skeptical, because in the past I'd never had anything but major headaches...

That's awesome Joe!

Yeah - I stopped doing spec work forever ago. When people say "how will I know what it will look like", I point up the street and say "You know all those businesses here in town? If their sign looks good, chances are we made it".

I was just REALLLY glad I didn't have to frack with that front bumper. Those are a BIATCH on Sierras....

They are a non-profit that raises funds for pediatric cancer research. The color shift is a trick of the light, I think. I just went out and looked at it again and I don't see it with real eyes.

Did this one this morning. 2 guys, 4 hours. Went nice and quick and easy :) (Not my design - client design...lol)

I'm in the minority here - I say bottom right. I really don't like the oval. IMO, the oval makes it feel a little dated. If you have to go oval, bottom left.

Why not try to turn the cake into a multi-leveled carousel?

There are lots of MM's here - but I'd recommend Insignia Signs.

Laminate larger than decal, use a high-energy vinyl (convex, etc.)

In my opinion, when a client says the want "rock", they are asking for "grunge". Try Bleeding Cowboys (shoot me), Eroxian BT, FarCry Extended, etc. As far as the logo itself, Eh..... The "people" concept is pretty overdone, IMO. It's constructed ok - I just don't care for the elements.

We could have up to 30 with all of our vendors, however I refuse to do it. I've seen too many shops get into pickles that way. The large company that I worked for when I got into this business - terms is what ended up bringing them to their knees. As pretty much a 1 man shop, cash flow isn't as...

Vote cast :)

This is why you design in vector.....

You already know we are in the same boat on these :)

I play several instruments, including guitar, and I write quite a bit of music, but I wouldnt' call those hobbies - more like compulsory addictions :) As far as a hobby, this may make me a giant dork, but I collect comics :smile:

Did you also set him up with a giant stethescope, Coke with cocaine in it, and a Victrola? :smile:

I don't know about the 8000, but I just used the Arlon DPX6000 wrap vinyl and it was a nightmare. Adhesive was the most ridiculously aggressive adhesive I've ever seen on wrap vinyl. Ugh.

The biggest reason that 90% of the time I tell newbies to go work for someone before they start out on their own isn't just so they can learn about the sign trade. The biggest reason is so that they can even decide if they LOVE the sign trade - because I'm here to tell you - if you don't love...
