  1. Disclaimers?

    Yes, I think written disclaimers (possibly ones the client could sign off on but that might be pushing it) should be issued with both banners and magnetics. Banners are temporary, and people need to realize this. I have seen banners stay up until they've literally rotted off a building. I do...
  2. How NOT to letter a boat

    I also suspect it was a cricutter, however, I don't think CriCuts cut that big. Unfortunate use of colors, but a good tool to demonstrate why a drop shadow should not have more impact than the main name. And you could park a small dinghy in the space between the boat name and the port. Looks...
  3. Price goes up for a hole's?

    I call it the AF (@sshole factor) Of course I charge more if they treat me like crap. If I charge enough, they go elsewhere. If not, I get a pretty penny for dealing with their crap. Love.....Jill
  4. Times are tough, or are they?

    No offense taken. Believe it or not I do sometimes get print jobs...I sub em out. I also do a lot of work for factories, some as far as 3 hours away. They've never seen my shop and have no clue what I do, they are referrals from other customers. I'd never want to have big machines, I'm too...
  5. Times are tough, or are they?

    While I do run a home based shop, I have an office at the back of the house which is where I greet my customers. (used to be my back porch and you enter at the back of my house, I have directional signs and hours posted) It has a counter and sample signs on the walls, and I have a big sign out...
  6. pick apart please... i'm stuck

    Try making the shape be a cup. (at least that's how I get Rita's gelato)
  7. Like MC Hammer Says- "You Can't Paint This!"

    Yes, I would rather see plain Disney decals on the walls of my grandson's pediatrician's office than the atrocious Lion King painting there. My daughter was terrified that I'd critique it in front of the Dr., she knows me too well. Agreed that a matte laminate would have looked nicer.
  8. Like MC Hammer Says- "You Can't Paint This!"

    I would definitely buy a car from them if they had a wall like this.
  9. Let's Go Penn's

    Yeesh Brian you need to turn on your spellchecker! :smile: I was there last night with my son Bill! First time @ The Consol. It has better bathrooms but lacks the charm of The Igloo. Snagged tix from the gal who helped deliver Liam. Was getting antsy by the third period with no score, then...
  10. pick apart please... i'm stuck

    I love slime green but not in this instance. I'd orange up the yellow just a tad and make the green part orange. I think I'd lose the outer glow too (the green part) Other than that it's fine. Love....Jill
  11. Like MC Hammer Says- "You Can't Paint This!"

    It's nice, but I agree, better picture, better idea. And I would also have rather seen something painted. And yes, Flamey, it could have been painted. Cross is right on about the new model suggestion but I would have preferred a Rockwell-esque painting with an old style Ford car, or a Ford...
  12. What Are They Thinking????

    I get this every year with the one school district. They want to pick my brain all spring without ordering, and want to order without a deposit the day before school starts. I think PO stands for Put Off. Put off ordering, put off paying, until some head honcho coughs up the dough. Love....Jill
  13. Another Font Id Please

    I concur...I was thinking Liste. Whatever it is, it's been squished. Love.....Jill
  14. Golf school logo

    I'd only use one "swing" and make it green. Two makes it look like the guy missed the ball.
  15. We all love our boat lettering customers...

    :) I wanted to rip that little guy's arms off and beat him with them. Love....Jill
  16. Marlene, Birthday Girl

    Have a swell day, cool sign chick! (giving you the Spock secret birthday handshake) Love.....Jill
  17. Going to Chicago soon- hotdogs???

    Our local PBS station produces a lot of really good documentaries. http://www.wqed.org/tv/sebak/hotdogs/hd_story.php This one makes you just about die from wanting a hot dog. Our hot doggery closed about 5 years ago, life hasn't been the same around here since. Even if it was a ratty looking...
  18. owner

    Another PA hello. My POW bracelet had a man named Belcher on it. I looked him up on the Vietnam Wall in DC. Love.....Jill
  19. How much to charge....

    Doug I wish you wouldn't have quoted him, it's only giving him additional self-promotion. As to the OP, I charged $7 foot back in the 90s for banners. Almost 20 years ago...yes my prices are higher now. I wouldn't turn on my computer for $35 for that thing. Love.....Jill
  20. Lighted sign project

    I did a sign like this about 2 years ago (lettered only) It's for my brother's company, which works on/maintains signs and awnings, etc. They ordered the flex face in from N Glantz, and they did all the stretching. I just came in and stuck the translucent vinyl. This is when I was still running...
