Dude I'm going to be completely honest, starting from the get go ... your logos are crap. Drop the photoshop effects, take what you have, delete it completely (what ... 5 minutes worth of work?), start over, and sketch out some ideas. what you have there is bad design, covered in weak sauce...

I don't really warranty anything ... I will try to do good to my customer, but too many things to ever consider. For example, if you put a sign up on a building ... and it falls down ... go and put it back up for them. If you do vehicle graphics and some of the letters pop off for whatever...

This is why I love you Joe. Well put and I didn't have to type it. OP, this is excellent advice.

I do lots of side stripes, rally stripes and god ... just 'racing' stripes of every kind (even that nazi arm band stripe corvette people are infatuated with) ... last week had a car club come in with their pickups and all three got that vertical bed stripe with their car club emblem in it ...

This. when you did the initial proof, if they wanted to proceed .. you should have priced right then and there and requested a deposit. (that was non-refundable) ... live and learn I suppose. oh and if it is her logo ... since she hasn't paid for it ... just let her know you still own the...

post script support for most laser printers is far and few between. My suggestion, just design in photoshop since laser printing tends to favor raster anyways ... you can avoid the issues you are coming up with. OR just export to a tif with lzw compression [size of a jpg, no loss in quality]...

I have an always will dedicate a 15-30 minute block to a potential customer to proof out a design (whether digital or physical) where in that time it's half questions, all with the intent on finding out what someone wants. Now, there are 2 conditions to the proofs here in this shop ... 1. They...

Does common sense count? For the love of all that is unholy people, quit wasting time bickering over pointless stuff. If you didn't make it, do you own some sort of permission or right to use the work? no? make your own ORIGINAL work, or get permission. Oh, and Original poster ... most...

Well, at least they saved you some time/energy.:covereyes:

Yeah, Sounds like my month. In the last 9 work days, I've had 5 people ask for discounts on set price work. Had 3 people storm out the shop because I won't bump them to the top of my work list for the day even though I'm 2-5 customers deep in jobs. Had one dude tell me a monkey could do my job...

I like both illustrator and corel, prefer corel ... comes sole reason to node editing ... here is why: Scenario ... multiple items (like oh, a dual color job). in this example, lets just say some nodes are out of place on the outline color. Process of corel draw: Double click item that needs...

He's talking about the Logo.

It's french (pronounced La'Booor ... roll the r) ... it means '**** off, I'm not working today!'

just the highlight side of a chizel typeface. Check sign dna and letterhead fonts for it ... mr chisel had one that is close http://mr-clipart.com/eu/anzeigen_font.php?art_id=1&seite=1&Anzahl=16

Thanks again guys, I think I know what I'm going to say when it comes up again. :toasting:

Nice, $30 for a completed banner? even my wholesale printer doesn't get that low. Geez, looking over my banner blank supplier ... I'm looking at $25 just for the blank ... Find out who this is .... they might have gotten a new customer.

Just me, and the brother-in-law who helps with customers when I'm humping butt in the shop and doesn't want any thing to do with the shop except get paid ... don't blame him, being 85 and helping out ... I don't make him do squat if he doesn't feel like it. Sadly, if I'm gone, he's gonna...

property is already been appraised by the county at taxable value ... and I know how much the assets are worth ... for every dollar the shop itself is worth at face value ... I would have to pay $28.9 dollars for every single stinking dollar. And the name definitely isn't worth the extra bit...

So yesterday the owner of the shop called ... told me that the company could be mine for a horrible, HORRIBLE price. :frustrated: I didn't want it, never talked about it, and now ... I REALLY don't want it. What would you do if the owner of your shop offered you to buy the company for such a...

Got to love days where random customers make you remember past days working very fondly. Todays memorable memory was one of my first sign shop jobs. On occasion I was hired out to other shops to do work they couldn't (insurance, tools, whatever the reason) or I would make their blanks and...
