  1. Fair or unfair?

    We have an email trail and sign-off proofs every step of the way. The box is different, the cab is identical.
  2. Fair or unfair?

    Just got a call from the president of the franchise corporation. He was listening in on the conversation and thinks my offer to have them cover my cost ($1100) is more than fair. What a stand up guy.
  3. Fair or unfair?

    Good point. The vehicle was delivered to my client day we showed up. No way to view in advance. Had to go on the clients word.
  4. Fair or unfair?

    We have done 2 previous full box truck wraps for this client. A location in a nearby state called me for a third and wanted it done by Friday. We were told it was identical model to the previous box trucks trucks but a new model year. We looked up the box truck online and it was the same in...
  5. Too much in receivables

    I carry little to no receivables whatsoever. I charge a 50% non refundable deposit and balance on pick up. I offer no terms to 95% of my customers with few exceptions.
  6. Art Charges

    I didn't say you can't charge for art, I said it's hard to. Obviously your situation in recreating an existing sign the guy likes is a unique opportunity to get a little for design. I imagine your price was not perceived as "too high" or your customer would have left in pursuit of another quote.
  7. Art Charges

    We have a restaurant opening up next door. Guy comes in and says, "throw me a few logos together and let me look at them." This is the state of graphic design these days. I was reading the Steve Jobs biography and came across this: Steve Jobs on working with Paul Rand to design the Next logo...
  8. Art Charges

    In 1989 I was in graphic design, typesetting and desktop publishing. People simply could not do it themselves. I had clients who owned printing companies that couldn't put ink on paper without me. Back then people paid me and rarely argued a point. Things have changed since I started out. Who...

    Marquee? from what foundry?
  10. What is this font

    Stumped. What font is this?
  11. Verbage vs. Verbiage

    That's cute. As for myself, dealing in signs, vehicle wraps, websites and SEO, verbiage makes up a huge part of what I strive to provide for my clients.
  12. Does anyone have experience with the Elite laminators like tubelite sells???

    In a word, buy. Feel free to call me to discuss. 704-588-2555.
  13. RANT: townfolk requiring sign permits

    We stopped doing anything that requires a permit.
  14. Printing All Night... PC Multi Tasking...

    I learned many years ago that a good take up reel allows you to make money while you sleep, (or play).
  15. Oh Em Gee!

    Certainly nothing that rolls out of most of the shops here at S101 would resemble this guys van, I'm just saying vehicle advertising is so effective I'm pretty sure he's tapping on his local market. Truck side advertising really does work.
  16. Oh Em Gee!

    We can critique and muse but my guess is his phone is ringing.
  17. Stirrng the pot - When a town doesn't let you use your logo?

    My business is on the main drag in one of the most heavily traveled roads in my area. That being said, the sign ordinances here are nothing less than communistic. I am dealing with a government entity that is anti-free enterprise to the point of absurdity. Bottom line: you can not fight city...
  18. Time for Payroll

    We use ADP. Headache-free.
  19. Totally Free Trailer Template Anyone?

    Thank you! I can actually use this for a customer right now!
  20. How bad did I do!! Shop van wrap design.

    The multiple sandwiches comment is facetious, but it should be "your sign shop super heroes".
