  1. 20 typeface treatments

    A little 24" x 36" poster I put together to frame and hang in the shop. What do you guys think? We need more eye candy and displays in our shop but it takes most of my free time on the weekends to create a lot of it when we get really busy.
  2. What adhesive to use?

    I'm looking for an adhesive, most likely a spray adhesive, to apply poly-styrene signs to plastic seed hoppers like the one pictured on the link. http://www.bulkcontainerexpress.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/DGH_angle_up_main.jpg Any body have any idea what might be the ideal adhesive for this...
  3. Screen printing flyer

    I'm working up a layout for a flyer we can pass out and post around the area. I like the layout I have, but what's bothering me is the copy. There is really nothing attention grabbing about it. I'm looking to see if anyone has any ideas about ways that I could word the ad that would have a bit...
  4. Cutting 6mm (1/4") ACM question

    I have my first opportunity to work with 6mm Max-Metal ACM panels. We usually do a lot of 3mm panels but the 6mm is new to us. Our usual practice for cutting down 3mm sheets is a straight edge and utility knife. We score one side, bring it to the edge of the table and snap it right off clean...
  5. Dry erase

    I have a customer wanting a very large map printed on paper/card stock with a vinyl over-laminate. They also need the vinyl to work with dry erase markers. So my question I have is would any clear calendered gloss over-laminate work with dry erase markers? I've used dry erase markers before...
  6. Vinyl post and panel question.

    I've never worked with these contraptions before now, so I have a simple question, really. We have a client who has a 4' x 8' (with a 89" x 45" opening)vinyl post and panel setup that I am showing in the pics below. It looks like the last installer just ran a couple of screws into it where the...
  7. Font id please

    Okay, so this post has nothing to do with signs or design. I have a friend who found a font he likes and wants incorporated into a tattoo somehow. Can anyone help me to identify the font? He found it on a tattoo website and no indication was given as to what the name of this ugly atrocity of a...
  8. Need font help please

    Closest match I've come up with is Hiroshige. Anyone know this one? Thanks in advance.
  9. RTape AT-75

    We got some of this RTape as a sample at the Grimco trade show this summer. This stuff is clear plastic with air egress channels for bubble free application of the transfer tape to the vinyl and the vinyl to the substrate. Not only does this stuff work wonderfully, but a 24" x 100 yd. roll is...
  10. Just playin' around.

    For something fun I decided to design an exotic super car last night in Corel X5. I referenced a few car photos to get ideas for the reflections on the paint, otherwise I just designed it off the top of my head. What do you guys think? Vroom, vroooom!
  11. Soccer font

    I'm having a heck of a time with this one. I thought it was the Porsche font, but it's not. I tried font matching sites and got close but no cigar. Anybody here have an idea? Thanks for the help.
  12. Day/night back lit sign

    We recently got a great deal on some interior back lit quick change cabinets that were double sided. We decided to make a nice window sign with one of them and try 3M's 3635 series black/white blockout film with 1/8" laser cut acrylic letters from Gemini. Check it out. We are really happy...
  13. 40' x 13' banner suggestions

    We have a customer (flooring company) located off of a busy interstate. They have a nice building with large visible signage but they also have a semi trailer that they use as a storage container, I believe for remnants. They are asking me for a quote on a 13' x 40' banner to be attached to...
  14. Please help. Pantone to CMYK conversion needed.

    I have a customer who wants a particular green from the new Pantone Plus 336 color formula guide and I've tried to find a suitable conversion chart online and also tried to convert it using Corel, but alas we can't seem to find anything that will give us a close conversion as these are the...
  15. Help identifying this font, please.

    I could use some help on this one. I'm pretty sure I just downloaded it the other day, as I recognize the lower case g but I'm drawing a blank. Thank you, font gods.
  16. The most overused font in 2013 is.....

    Lobster. Is it just me or do you not see this font used everywhere lately? It's sad really. It's something fresh and beautifully styled and it's becoming rapidly overused. Next thing you know you'll see Lobster DOT numbers, Lobster movie titles, and Lobster logos. Talking about all this...
  17. Who makes this banner frame?

    I'm looking for the manufacturer of this particular banner frame. We have a banner to replace and i'll need to get some information from the manufacturer as to how it opens up and how the clips work on this particular style. Thanks for any info.
  18. Recent font I just finished

    I spent a few hours here and there over the last couple of months creating this font. I think it's pretty cool and original. What do you guys think? I call it "Maxx Voltage" because I couldn't think of anything better at the time. Perhaps a better name is in order? I decided to kill a few...
  19. Calling all makers of dimensional cnc routed signs...

    I'm going to be in need of two identical dimensional signs measuring 78" x 54" (Most likely 2" thick). We would prefer to have the CNC carving and painting all outsourced. If you are a wholesaler who can do this please respond or private message me. Thanks.
  20. Not sure what to do with these...

    We have a friend who acquired some indoor backlit sign cabinets from a company auction. He owed us a favor and since he got them incredibly cheap, he gave them to us to do with as we see fit. So we decided to use one to hang in our shop window. These cabinets seem to be pretty high end and...
