  1. A little something about you....................

    there are times when someone posts something that makes you wonder and I will click on their profile to see if they are a sign shop or what. it may not seem to matter to some but it is helpful. example of this is a person who posts a design the person made and says it's a done deal. it turns...
  2. Before and After Smack Down...

    ooops, I didn't look at the date and thought gamma was slang for ganny, my bad, but not as bad as that plaque looks.
  3. Before and After Smack Down...

    yours looks better, of course. people have strange reasons that aren't always clear as to the why's behind something like this. who knows what their reasons were. too bad granny Buttercup will be spending eternity under a crappy looking plaque.
  4. A little something about you....................

    if they only would, it would cut down on the excessive posts to try to pull the info out of them when tey post an issue. mine is kind of generic as to company and such as there were some issues a while back with putting too much info out there and that is all I'll say on that as I don't want...
  5. Need some critique and guidance

    it looks exactly like that! can you get them to toss the image? if not work on the lettering and make it the focal point and down play the image. clean it up, take out a lot of the lines and make it simple. it is too complex right now and drags down the whole thing.
  6. Logo we just finalized

    did you purchase a clipart set with these trees in it? is someone selling these? I'm with those that think Six Flags doesn't use clipart but if you bought these from a vendor in good faith that they could be used, you might want to check back with the seller of the clipart.
  7. Canopy lettering help

    +1:U Rock: now back to the awning in question...is there existing lettering you need to cover or is it totally blank? will the lettering take up most of the area or just a little section? I ask as if it is pre-lettered and needs to be covered, doing what our master sign maker did would...
  8. Elevator Doors Removal HELP!

    have you taken all the vinyl off yet? if not, try without the heat as some times that makes the vinyl and adhesive separate. rapid remover and mild cleaners +1 to what John said as you don't want to strip off the clear coat!
  9. Truck Lettering

    the phone number in a condensed font like that is harder to read than a smaller height letter in a font that isn't condensed. people try to get really big by using condensed fonts but it works to make it less visible. the logo itself isn't all that bad. the colors are really bad but do look...
  10. You make stickers, right?

    I'm OK with a customer calling it a sticker as they have no reason to know the correct term. what I hate is when a "pro" calls it that as they should know better.
  11. Goodnight Irene

    thanks. I live up by the Canadian border and one of the major rivers flows thru here and we have a lot of run off from the near by mountians. that river flooded but because it always floods, things have been built so they aren't so much in the way of the river. the places that got hammer are...
  12. Goodnight Irene

    back to work today too. we just shut down the shop as most of us live in the boonies. a ton of roads closed up my way due to flooding. the whole state got hammer with floods. not much with winds, but water. thre are over a dozen towns totally cut off with all roads and bridges into them...
  13. Sign Layout...let me have it!

    I don't think anyone is stumped by this as we all seem to get that the main reason for this sign is to tell some one how far and whcih direction to turn. what adds to the confusion is customer requests like the added graphic. love what signmeup did as it keeps the who seperate from the where...
  14. IRENE..What a pain in the A__!

    we are just making sure we have a flash light with batteries, a gallon or so of water, in case the power goes out and or trees come down and we can't go anywhere. other than that, we are suppose to be getting the heavy rains and winds approx 80 mph unless it doesn't drop down in force which...
  15. Goodnight Irene

    the ice storm of 1998 was scary but beautiful. I was living directly in the middle of a delcared disaster zone at the time. everything was coated with ice so that the whole world looked like it was in black & white. the trees (that were still standing) were just beautiful.
  16. Sign Layout...let me have it!

    one of the best places to learn is right here on the site. read all the threads that people post with designs. there is a wealth of info in those. watch others post ideas and watch how they evolve into the final draft. Jill just posted one for a two truck company. it was good to start and...
  17. Goodnight Irene

    as of this morning, the eye of it, after it passes over you Tony, is set to go right up along the border of New Hampshire and Vermont. so after it is done with your neck of the woods, I'm going to get nailed. they are putting agencies in place to deal with like the Red Cross and have advised...
  18. Sign Layout...let me have it!

    St Anthony and the Conservation Club would look better as all one font to make it all one name. with two different fonts, it just splits the message and makes it look disjointed. this looks like a sign to help people know how far they nned to go and which direction to turn rather than an ID...
  19. Hall of Fame threads

    OMG, just looking thru this thread and the memories of threads from the past is great, can't wait for our new section of the site to come to life. we have had some really good ones over the years! what a great idea Pat!
  20. sign permits

    we have an hourly rate with a minimum charge plus don't forget to have a night time fee as some of planning meetings need to attended and they are usually at night. not sure about you over in the next state but pretty much, that is what we have to deal with.
