  1. Logo critique and advise please.

    hehe... and then you also have to make the customer promise not to tell anyone where they got it done! :)
  2. Need help poring small text on styrene

    in a spray can. Most signage and printer suppliers will have an anti-static spray in their catalogues. Likely not the same as something like consumer Static-Guard for clothes. Does it affect print? Possibly. I've used AS spray on vinyl as its being cut and I know press operators will spray the...
  3. Need help poring small text on styrene

    Styrene is notoriously static-y. Something that could help might be to raise the humidity in the printer's environment. Another thing I might try would be spraying the back of the sheet with Anti-Static spray, though one would have to be careful not to affect the grip of the transport rollers...
  4. 3D Visual

    yup, Sketchup... build a model as a template and then overlay textures on the surfaces to show different graphics. It isn't that hard once you've done it a couple times. There are plenty of YouTube tutorials for this...
  5. Sign cabinet frame question

    There's been a few mentions of measuring the cabinet. The only time I'd measure a cabinet would be if I was manufacturing a new frame. Otherwise, stick to measuring the frame. Make sure you know what kind of frame it is for the purposes of sizing the plastic (as mentioned above) and -Important-...
  6. Copy Writing / Trade Mark Logos

    Yep... I've heard that Harley-Davidson makes more from licensing their brand for merchandise than they do from manufacturing bikes, so they tend to keep a tight reign on that stuff... I've wondered just what FoMoCo had to pay to license the HD logo for their pickups. Same with International...
  7. Logo critique and advise please.

    Couple things: first, Slow Cooked should be hyphenated --> Slow-Cooked Second, The word EDERS kinda looks like it's trying to belong to the M in MEAT... Same with the S in EDERS and the T... --> try increasing the space between those two pairs of letters by 50% or so, such that the space...
  8. Anyone know the font?

    At first blush, 'Restaurant' looks like a knock-off of Highway Gothic, but the numerals aren't as close...
  9. Joke

    So Freddie, who was a bit thick, got a new job that required him to have his own transportation. Freddie had never owned a car before, and went directly to the used car lot on Main Street, just down the block from his favourite diner. Freddie, who was a bit thick, didn't have much money but...
  10. Software for scanning to Bitmaps

    Same for me exporting from Corel X6 as EPS and importing into Signlab 9.x... Solved that problem by publishing to PDF from Corel and importing the PDF to Signlab. I'm just mentioning this in case it might help you.

  16. Need Help Help-Can I use this logo?

    Trademark law does NOT forbid re-creation (what you are calling copying). What Trademark law actually does is forbid unauthorized use and provide a legal structure for a trademark owner to recover damages from unauthorized use. The OP was concerned about re-creation (COPYING) and was wondering...
  17. Need Help Help-Can I use this logo?

    And how is that relevant to the OP's question, Gino? The OP's customer wants to put a Husqy logo on a Husqy bike that he owns. There should be no problem with that, whatsover, as long long as Husqy isn't selling a similar graphic. Think of it like the owner of a McDonalds franchise wants a...

    US, UK and Canadian copyright laws are pretty much aligned and harmonized. What is applicable in one country is almost certainly going to be the same in the other two on major points like this.
  19. Need Help Help-Can I use this logo?

    A trademark is primarily a name, and secondary, a graphic. Just because something is a trademark, doesn't mean you can't use it. -- If you contacted Husqvarna, they probably wouldn't have a problem with a signshop recreating a logo for a customer's bike (unless they have an actual replacement...
