  1. Yeagers Autobody logo

    As previously noted, this is a sign, not a logo. Actually I thought it was a belt buckle, one of those tasteless locomotive headlights that wannabe cowboys like to sport. As a sign it's not particularly good. Too much detail and too many effects going on coupled with marginal typography. As a...
  2. Legal advice, somebody ripped off my design.

    Is it too late to get your money back? I have tried it and have prevailed. The last time was in small claims court in Nevada County in the People's Republic of California in, if memory serves, 2005. I won, they lost, I got paid in full as well as reimbursed for all fees. The nice thing about...
  3. Legal advice, somebody ripped off my design.

    Bzzzzt..Wrong, thank you for playing. By the aforementioned Berne Convention any and all creative works are copyrighted by virtue of the fact they exist. No filings, no contracts, nothing, nada, zip, zero is necessary in order to enforce this copyright other than the existence of the work...
  4. Legal advice, somebody ripped off my design.

    Since myself and others have indeed prevailed in small claims court in identical circumstances in many different jurisdictions, I can only conclude that in these matters you don't know your ass from a warm biscuit.
  5. Legal advice, somebody ripped off my design.

    Why should it matter if it's some church or a squad of Gypsies? Bill them for whatever you think they owe you. Don't call, don't plead, don't do anything but file in your local small claims court. Not only file but pay whatever fee to get the local sheriff's department to serve whatever...
  6. 50% or 1/2 off?

    Sign makers should never as in ever write copy. Get the client to write the copy.
  7. FC7000 reg mark issues

    Nonsense. If it can deal with type 1 marks it can deal with type 2 marks. Actually the type 2 marks are marginally better in that the media and carriage travel is slightly less than with the type 1 marks. If the carriage constantly stops short of mark #3 I'd have a serious look at the feed...
  8. Awesome restroom signage

    Except, of course, that women are retromingent.
  9. What solvent canvas do you like best?

    I've always been partial to LexJet Sunset Select Satin Canvas. It's about a buck a square foot. LexJet people are often pushy and sometimes jerks to deal with but the media prints and finishes beautifully. You get a better deal by ordering straight from their web site. If you call they want to...
  10. Starting out

    Small? Doubtful, merely corollary to the inarguable proposition that quiet competence trumps motivational bull. Every time. That being the case it follows as the night unto the day that time is better spent developing actual competence rather than sharpening abstract rhetorical tools.
  11. Speed Keeps Changing

    While that will work, what you really need to do is set the plotter, whatever brand it might be, to not pay any attention to settings sent via software. Virtually every plotter has this capability. On a Graphtec it's called 'Condition Priority'. It's called other things on other plotters...
  12. OT: Any K-9 behavorial speclialists on here?

    The point being that it doesn't matter a whit why the beast is screwed up, the effort to unscrew is a waste of time when there are so many other unscrewed animals available. I deal in horses, not so much here in my golden years, but I still keep my hand in. There is much the same phenomenon...
  13. Starting out

    I seem to encounter this snippet of bull often in these waters. You can drop into a frenzy of rationalization over what it is you sell but none of that will change reality. If you're in the sign business, you sell signs. People give you money, you give them a sign. You have the money, they...
  14. OT: Any K-9 behavorial speclialists on here?

    Rescue? Feh, you have no idea of what you're getting. Moreover there is some reason it needed rescuing. Not all rescues are tales of human neglect from the pages of Amelia Slopheart's journal, some are truly nasty specimens. If you want a good dog, find a reputable breeder of whatever breed you...
  15. Any Special Plans for the 4rth?

    If you run out of fireworks perhaps you could prod the specimen that styles itself 'sjm' into shooting off it's mouth.
  16. Air Bubbles

    Regardless of what you're using or how you hinge it, proper squeegee technique has three main points... 1. Hold the masked vinyl off the substrate and always let the squeegee put the vinyl in contact with the substrate. 2. Never squeegee unplowed ground. Always start the stroke with the...
  17. Air Bubbles

    Air bubbles are almost always indicative of bad application technique. It doesn't matter all that much what vinyl or app tape you've chosen to use. If and when you learn proper squeegee technique the bubbles will go away. Moreover, pre-layering vinyl is generally considered a rather...
  18. Aaaaaaaaargh!!! Carved a sign wrong!! (I hate Flexi)

    Add a device on the right. The right device of the right weight will look as if you planned it.
  19. COPYRIGHT Logo prints...How is THIS possible?

    I'm sure that if you search hard and long enough you'll encounter the only other organism in the galaxy besides yourself that might be concerned about this.
  20. Worst vehicle lettering ever!

    Likewise, I wouldn't hire you as a grammar consultant. If you wouldn't eat nothing then it must be the case that you would eat something. Ah, the charm of a double negative.
