@John Butto: I checked with Redz. It is not the same person, but from the same area. Black eye for Ky for sure.
@Fred: I have the same policy at my shop. I thought an active Signs101 member with 1,000 posts would be honest. I know I'd never stiff a fellow member in fear of being called out here.
The same thing happened to me. Small amount ($40 for sign, $10 shipping). Mine was 4.5 months ago.
Fred, the other lesson I learned is that, unfortunately, you can't always trust very active Signs101 members.
One piece might be an option if the retainer is hinged from the top, but I still wouldn't want to do it. Would you want to letter and transport a 40' sign in one piece? I wouldn't. Never mind trying to install it easily. More importantly, it would be a nightmare to change lamps and service, as well.
Two 6' x 20' pan faces would work great, especially for servicing, but I'd say there won't be that many vendors who can pull faces that big.
Normally I'm not a fan of flat faces, but that may be your best option here. You could do it it in 3 or 4 panels, too. If I did use flat faces, I'd shoot...
Have you installed any new photoshop plugins or anything? Fred found one of them causes Flexi to crash. 8.x did the same thing when you had too many fonts installed on your machine.
I ran it through Google Goggles and all it came back with was as the logo for Goose Creek High School in SC. Knowing how most high schools are, I'd say they poached it from someone else.
I refuse to stock it. I refuse to use it. I just tell customers it won't last and it's a PITA to work with. Funny thing is, I told a customer that one time and he brought me his truck that I'd done ~ 8 years before with chrome and it looked the same as the day I applied it. I'm sure it was...
I don't see anything wrong with poly banners, as long as you are using them inside. That's what is used to print the majority of stock slogans on banners -- "Now Open," "Coming Soon," "Grand Opening," etc.
I think stoliker is on the right track. I've never done football helmets, but I'd think convex-type material would be needed. If your high school team is getting by using regular calendared vinyl ... then they aren't hitting hard enough.
A friend of mine hand-cuts a lot of stripes. He travels to car lots and works out of his truck. He has a 2' x 8' or 3' x 8' piece of glass he keeps in his truck to cut on. I don't know what he uses for a straight edge.
