I really loved that, missed it the first time. That sounds like lots of jobs I have had. You know, where the client "needs more cowbell". There is some other equally hilarious stuff on that site. Love....Jill

Agree with Stacy, those are weird looking knitting needles. I also do not like the shape of the eyes at all, or the gradient in them. Try making normal shaped sockets with just a small pink circle in them. It makes me sad to hear that Hobo is becoming trendy again. I group that into other...

Using a great designer (like sign amigo) is a win/win situation. Love....Jill

Damn I reallllly love what Tiki did to that! He balanced the info and made the whole thing pop. Lugg's looks real "coffee" like and inviting. And the latest Rep version has more punch, altho I'd have lost the cliparts.

I just used mine yesterday! And plan to do it again today! Welcome from over to the right of the map. Love....Jill

D&T all the way. He did a great job on my hoodies, everyone was absolutely thrilled with them. Love....Jill

BIG big hugs. Have a great day, Dennis. You are Da Man! Lots of love....Jill

I agree about the fonts. The main font chosen is really wimpy looking as opposed to the beefy looking CAR CARE (which probably should have more emphasis than the Woodland part unless there are 10 car care places in his neighborhood) The bottom panel creates a weird sharp angle against the...

While I like the idea and I like the colors, there is just a little bit too much going on. It does look like a daycare. Try doing the New Dawn in the Rister and the Espresso Too in the boxes. Lose the oval and possibly both cliparts. When using a script I always try to node edit an area like...

I was only in Toledo once; in the early 90s I ended up rescuing some biker chick who got beat up by one of the locals. I drove her home in my Ford Escort station wagon with my two young kids in the back seat. It was a nightmare but this woman had no place to go and I didn't want her staying with...

I think his original post was a way of saying that anyone charging $39/set of mags needs their head examined. I am not one for discussing actual pricing in the open forum but I will say that even the first set of mags I ever made in 1985 was $50 and that was 25 years ago. People need to...

Safe yourself the headache and just charge for new signs. It's just not worth it. Love....Jill

I'm guessing the top one is something like Astaire. Isn't trailer spelled wrong? Love....Jill

The one and only time I did a sign survey I charged my hourly rate plus gas plus the cost of film, development, and shipping. Love....Jill

That's Copperplate Gothic which someone squeezed the ever-loving crap out of. Love....Jill

Love SignMeUp's last one. On yours, nothing flows. There's the name up top, a few lines of text in the middle, and contact info on the bottom. Everything is tight to the edges. On the examples you have been given, you can see the use of negative space to give the name more impact. The...

I remember that exercise, Bob! Regarding fonts, buy them just as you would any tool for your business. Love....Jill

First of all, do you really paint? If so, it's fine to use a paint brush in your logo, and even expected. Change the color of the brush handle to navy blue and the bristles to brown. Make the paint red. Then try Williams in bright red, no outline. When I do a word with 2 "lls" in a script (like...

Before you tart up a design with textures and special effects, a rule of thumb is that it has to have snap and eye appeal all on its own in black and white. You can dress up a pig in diamonds, a tiara, and a feather boa but it's still a pig. Learn the basic rules of layout, as taught in the...
