  2. Need ideas for trailer design

    Hi all! I've been doing the graphics for this company for years. This is a new division and they created the logo. They said I should use some "creativity" and I'm a bit stuck. They would go for a full wrap if they like it. All the vehicles are black with white vinyl. This is my initial idea...

  6. Reflective Sign/Billboard how to

    I posted about a sign/billboard a while back. He wants to do a 100% reflective sign/billboard that's on the road. The size is 12' long by about 85" tall. It's there already with a plywood backing. It just needs the sign boards. The red part is going to be a separate sign that changes with the...
  7. The annual question...how was business this year?

    One-person + one helper in Wisconsin: Started the year normally. March 15-Oct busier than any other year. November was slower than years past. December is definitely slower so far. Maybe it's because of the election? My friend with an apparel shop said the same, slower this Nov/Dec than years...
  8. This is why you NEVER agree to do trademarked artwork...

    Long story short: Even if it's approved, it might not be approved... Man came in with a plastic toy semi lettered as our local "Acme" company and a blank metal one (it's a nation wide company but based here locally). He wanted me to replicate the decals and put them on the metal one. Of course...

    Stay safe sign friends in Florida! The rest of the country is praying for you! We got my niece out of Tampa Bay Monday, she got a cancelled seat back to Wisconsin. My parents are still in Wisco. Our friends have evacuated to other areas in Florida. I feel like everyone is taking this very...
  11. Pan face vinyl bubbling 2 months later

    What did I do wrong? I don't remember exactly but I don't think I wet applied this Burgandy vinyl. Only the burgandy is bubbling not the gray. The pan face sat here in my office for a couple weeks before I opened it and lettered it so I don't think it was outgassing? I don't remember if there...
  12. Artwork troubles maybe Vector Doctor can help?

    I usually go through Ignition Drawing on a very rare occasion I can't do it myself. But I don't think they are understanding what I need. Am I best to just find clipart for this or is the Vector Doctor a bit more "understanding" of what I need? This is a hand drawn logo but I'm using it for...

    I answered my own question in preparation to make this post - but I'm posting it anyway LOL I got a problem now with a pissed off customer. He basically threatened me in Spring to be a sponsor of his Walleye tournament or he would take his business elsewhere. I had my name on the shirts, I...
  18. I'm no wrapper...big old FAIL

    I failed miserably. One of my oldest, best customers wanted black matte vinyl on his hood and the bottom part of the sides of 5 Dodge 2500 Diesels. I said I would try it but I am not really a wrapper. Hoods were fine - no issues at all. The bottoms - complete nightmare, I got wrinkles and...
  19. Wrestling Room at High School Signs with multiple names

    What is the best method for creating signs that you can add names to each year? They currently have the slide-in plastic things for some and for others just signs that I cut vinyl names for and we stick them up. I did not make any of these originally and as you can see lots of different fonts...
