There was always bad sign design, but now it's computer perfect bad design, so they think it looks great.

I agree, big difference between "storefront" retail and b2b retail.

We don't have many customers in the shop. Those that do come in are usually wearing a mask since it's required at all stores. Plenty of room to keep 6' away while talking.

Depending on the framing system they are insisting on I would probably still want the horizontals anchored to a steel beam bridging the columns and well anchored.

Gerber spent a lot of time on kerning their fonts in the beginning and gave great tools for making adjustments. One of my earliest and continuous beefs with computerized sign making is the total lack of care for kerning, and spacing of all kinds. I prefer to my text in Gerber before importing to...

Like I said, sometimes it IS a discussion to have, usually it's when an existing business it having problems that signs might help with. I've had more than a few of those. "Customers can't find our service entrance even though it's marked" "Everyone thinks we're a beauty parlor but we do...

Depending on the project it's about finding out what problem they are trying to solve. But a lot of times it's just a sign don't turn it into an ordeal. Just give them your undivided attention and let them know that you care about their business.

You need to do a day/night print. I never applied on to the inside (or outside) of a pan face. Not sure how it works to wrap the edge with translucent.

"So why wont you offer open advice here for everyone? I dont get the angle of the one on one signup." Because the first consultation is free and is spent convincing you to sign up for more that aren't free.

I would build a match starting with something like Machine or City

If you're just putting in the face there shouldn't be an inspection required, but you never know. You can cut acrylic with a jigsaw or circular saw. Just use a good blade.

I agree with frame system. All those panels will make wall wrap a pain.

https://issuu.com/signbuilderillustrated/docs/sign_builder_may_2020/10 I was looking though Sign Builder and saw this story about a "wrap" job for a concrete stadium. When I see a job like this I wonder what is the best way to do it. In this case it was done with a material made for an exterior...

I would have a discussion with my lawyer and see if I had any legal recourse.

Cast vinyl and laminate. And I would revisit the color choice, the only thing anyone is going to notice is the photo montage
