Clip-art or not, I dig that lil' money dude....

I saw this at the Letterville site... mind-blowing...

It's still a "trust" system, the only thing is, it's in writing. You make a contract and it's based on "scope of work". If it's a logo for a local restaurant, and they start having multiple locations, well thats good for them, the logo maybe added to some of the success. They start franchising...

A red X? Phoooey! Hey Jill, which George Lopez? in his show he was porky with longer hair, now he is now trim and groomed. In my boredom I added different looks to Fred so I can have different goofy heads.... (sorry I'm an Angels fan...)

Covert text to outlines, then go to "PATHFINDER" and hit the "ADD TO SHAPE AREA" button, then hit "EXPAND" and viola!

This is some really good design, it's refreshing to see this quality of design. Your city must have some very loose sign rules, here in California, I don't know any city where any of this would fly with some code enforcement hassle. You can't look at your windows without looking at your...

Good faith on your part would mean that you would have a policy in place and you let the client know upfront what that policy is and stick to it. Kinda hard to change the rules when the game is already over. ---Give the guy the artwork. ---Make a policy. ---Inform future and existing...

Oh about the baby thing, I was thinking of having another one after seeing my niece's baby, one more isn't gonna hurt after having 4. Is this a surrogate thing or is this going to be done old school, if it's old school, I gotta warn you upfront, I'm not the prettiest man... I mean I'm not "Old...

It's a matter of preference, I have sign shop clients that do one or both methods. One thing about clear acrylic is you have the option of adding transparent film (they make 30- and 60% diffuser) to it if you get hot-spotting, on translucent white, you can't "un-translucent" the acrylic.

Thanks.. this is fun, especially after having a job go south... cheap design therapy. I had to fix the Fred head, the old one was clip-art... when do I get the money?

It's also known as "Frutiger" 'Bold' and 'Bold Condensed'

I had a job go poo-poo on me and will continue to go poo-poo till its done so I had to do something to get my mind off of it... this is directly inspired by High Octane's BBQ layout... probably make a bad sign, but might make a good tee.. yes, I like the disembodied goofy chef head... Fred's...

Hey, PatWhatley, any relation to Pat Whatley?

You can go to FILE > FILE INFO. and then type in your notes there... Or... On a Mac, you can select the file on your desk top, hit COMMAND+"I" and type in information on the SPOTLIGHT COMMENTS window... I'm pretty sure windows has the same capability.

Intersting.. I see over 100 posts today and at least a few things I have read interested me. This site is doing very well, especially if you compare it to other sign sites. Is their room for improvement? Yes, but we have had times where the negative energy was a lot worse than this... I think...

I would have no problems mentoring a newbie or my "competition"... I was mentored and was paid for it. I don't fear them as competition because I have to think that my years in the business has to mean something, and that one thing is that it would take them years to be my real competition...

I have not done any construction in Hawaii since 1996 but I remember the island I was on was a little backwards on the building code and the other 2 islands I worked on had adopted different standards. I know they adopted the IBC code and they use the NEC as a basis to test for your electrical...

It's called "Fabulous" from the Las Vegas Font Collection (House Industries)

I made them in illustrator... the top one is "brushes", the bottom one is "Stroke" with dashes.
