I've made a few of these now for friends as gifts. This one was for a home office with an industrial theme. Made with wood. Letters cut on scroll saw. Painted and distressed.

For 18 x 24 4mm Coroplast signs that will hang on a light pole, would you have the flutes run vertically or horizontally?

...If you were to start a new sign business tomorrow, what would be your plan of attack for marketing? Let's say you already have a steady source of income to pay the bills and want to avoid being a 'FastSigns' type shop and instead focus on the higher end work and good design. Is there...

I stumbled across this guys work yesterday. Fantastic stuff! Some great letterheadish type fonts. https://creativemarket.com/gilangpurnamajaya

Does anyone recognize this font? (not the uppercase P) I know I should know it, but it's not coming to me...

I'm trying to find a driver for my new (to me) Graphtec CE2000 to run from my windows 7 64 bit computer. I've tried downloading the drivers from the Graphtec site, but when I go to install, the CE2000 isn't on the drop down list of plotter choices in the setup. Is anyone still running one...

I just picked up a Graphtec CE2000-5-60 24" cutter. It did not come with a parallel cable, which is fine, since I'm using a newer computer with no parallel port. What would be the best way to connect to the cutter? Parallel to USB conversion cord? If so, any recommendations on brand or type...

Anyone know the bottom font on this for the word METALS? I know the top font is Trajan Bold... Why on earth they used two serif fonts is beyond me...

Hey Guys. I'm looking to buy an older, used plotter so I can start doing some signs again. In the past, I've owned Rolands and have always been happy with them. I'd like to find an older PNC 1100, but from what I understand, it won't run on a Windows 7 system. Is this going to be...

This is a logo I'm working on for a carpet cleaning company. What they had before needed help, it might have attracted racecar drivers, but not housewives, who are his target audience. I'm thinking of making the u into a subtle flower idea, without going overboard, to give the idea of...

This is a beer brand logo I did recently for a friend using some of the great LostType fonts. I really love these fonts, but now I see them EVERYWHERE!

Lately, it seems like I've been getting a lot of work for clients who just don't get it. Those clients that come to you for a professional logo or design. Then when you submit something, they come back at you with their own idea, or a multitude of ideas from friends or family that are frankly...

Here's a restaurant logo I'm working on for a friend. He wanted to keep the same basic letter style, but put it within a pepper. The top is what he has now.

I'm doing a home show here in my community in a couple weeks for my other business and need to get some banners made up on the cheap. (I know, I'm the customer we all hate) Is anyone familiar with these style stands? Are they worth it or should I get something sturdier...

...That a phone number, address and the business owners name don't need to be on a storefront sign? I understand a phone number works for CERTAIN businesses, but the rest is unnecessary. It's amazing how many sign companies think these elements are necessary too. End of speech...

I may be needing to replace my laptop I use for design work. The one I'm on now is 32 bit. Will I be able to run my programs on the newer 64 bit laptops? Mostly concerned about being able to use Corel Draw X4

Hey, what do you guys do with your HDU scraps? I bought a scroll saw to try my hand at some dimensional signs and I'd like to work with some HDU, but buying a $400 sheet at this point just for practice doesn't make too much sense. Plus my scroll skills need some fine tuning. :) Anyone want to...

I posted a version of this logo here a while back, but it was a project that was put on the back burner. I decided to revisit it a bit the last couple days between other projects. Not sure where I'm going to go with the back yet. Little by little.

Can this plotter be used with the newer versions of Windows? Also, can it be setup to cut directly from CorelDraw?

...I know we come on forums like this sometimes to vent about bad suppliers and pain in the neck customers, but I've had a streak lately of awesome customers. Easy to work with, patient and friendly. The kind of clients we all want. Just a few designs as of late...
