Indeed! I'll hold back my rants on web optimization :P. Thanks. Cloud hosting is a lot more secure than your personal computers unless you have a six figure wizard IT guy on staff. Generally even higher levels of encryption than your bank uses for transactions but it is good advice to seek...

Here's a nice wayfinding logo for breastfeeding as long as we're on topic. http://www.mothering.com/breastfeeding/international-breastfeeding-symbol-photos

It's been posted a few times, it's a prototyper targeted at industrial design firms, who have been using 3d replication for a while as a way of fast prototyping. Firms like Ideo.

We'd be interested in a webinar/demo of signvox. Message me here on signs101 Kevin so we can set a demo time. Also, get some videos up on your website and higher resolution preview images! Hard to see what's going on but the product looks very good, from the small bits we can see.

None of them belong on a wedding invite either. :ROFLMAO:

Despise PayPal after they screwed over not one but two five-figure charity donation accounts from other forums I'm apart of. Use Square over PayPal whenever possible, Google Checkout is also a viable alternative for some things. There are a host of other options as well on the ecommerce front.

You can use an iPad or any tablet with any POS system just Remote Desktop/VNC into a desktop running the POS license. That's also a good way to handle having various people at the front desk handling customers...just remote into your workstation instead of setting up the front desk computer...

Conversation on the name aside the logo is really, really bad. It's not even a logo. Kind of looks like it should be an animated gif and posted on someone kid's myspace page next to glittery unicorns.

Hey at least their 16 year old isn't "doing graphic design in school" and therefor will be taking over the account. :ROFLMAO:

Might try a different wood texture, not sure the tone is right.

Took us years to train one of our photographers to shoot food at a former job (in-house designer in a marketing department, not a sign shop). It's probably one of the trickiest things to do well and that's why it costs so damn much to hire photo pros for a food shoot. I'm definitely with...

Anyway I liked your feather idea Colorado, here's another 30 second idea. Have a good 4th!

Might want to reread what I said. We're seeing now many more brands with which their main logo cannot be printed b&w, what happens is a separate version is created for those situations. Generally a simplified, often silhouetted version. That doesn't mean they're ignoring form, proportion, or...

The age of "but what if you need to print it b&w" is quickly coming to a close -- it's still a good tool for critiquing as you go but it's not really a hard rule anymore for the finished result. Brands are eager to appear current and the cost of four+ color is negligible compared to single color...

At minimum enroll in a local 2-year and take some night or remote classes in basic business finance. A lot of it you'll be able to lean on your CPA for but it helps to know what you're talking about. Most people, most people, make terrible managers, it's really a tough gig and while some of...

Or we could just eat less meat. The big issue is that China's middle class is starting to eat like America does, massive consumption of animals that require huge amounts of resources to produce. If everyone just ate what our bodies needed instead of two cheeseburgers a day there wouldn't be much...

That's a nice one for the toolkit, thanks. Have a few agency clients that are getting sent it immediately.

I avoid all of these as well (not real sugar, in moderation your body needs it, especially your brain but all chemical and corn sugars I avoid). I'm especially careful now as my doctor has me watching sodium. Just try watching sodium, keeping under 1500mg for the day is impossible if you eat...

I too wish you had video. Hilarious.

You can use the 3D Bevel in Illustrator and then expand the effect and fill the shapes with solid colors. Messing with the lighting settings can achieve the look as well. However I agree with everyone, OP example and stuff like it is best/easiest by hand.
