Not needy when identifying fonts BUT when customer wants ONE OFF of a cool font that I do not have - I appreciate the help. Anyone name or tell me where I can get this font.
[gonna make one for my wifey vehicle, too...lol]
VinylMasterPro...nothing to hate. Hate yours. It's all in your mind.
Ever listen to Zig Ziglar? W. Clement Stone. Robert Schuller? Dale Carnegie? et al. I have never used software that sucks, I will probably never understand why people complain...but for now...thanks for the positive...
world changing to post this on a sign users website. thanks. I can go to bed knowing that today...I got to see this...I cannot thank-you enough. No really. Thanks.
I kern heads [headlines and subheads] expecially type as logo.
Here are some area code adjustments. The first is unaltered and BAD! Never display area code unaltered on sign or vehicle IMHO.
I didn't spend time kerning this quick example but a phone number should be kerned!
[A lame...
vectored from scratch - downloaded Lowes® logo in vector free from web.
Approximately 20 minutes. Not perfect. Doesn't have to be. Less time than asking for help.
I searched for TOOLBOX FOR EDUCATION LOWES images and saved their bitmap logo. Locked image in Corel and went to town...
Amen. Sick and tired of untrained and unskilled artistically bereft dorks owning sign shops just because the have enough capital or credit to buy a PC, software and a cutter or printer.
Once art is created by THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT it cannot be copyrighted by a private individual. It is owned by ALL taxpayers. [old statutes].
Exceptions seem to be the recent AIR FORCE stylized star and wings and other military branch logos and campaign art and materials...
If this were a college project the prof. might ask:
Why did you use the same typeface for all the text, headlines and subheads?

Quality designers use quality fonts with names that are well recognized from quality font collections.
Crap fonts are bastardized from quality professional type...
Lets say it is a 45.3" banner - finished size to fit a set space in a church.
54" material is not wasted because the customer PAID FOR the 54" width because they determined the finish size...not me.
The billing price fits the job. That is not waste.
Hand drawn? WHAAAAAT? Just kidding. IMHO to attain top quality outputs from images drawn by human hand, there will exist a computer operator who vectors it in Illustrator® from a scanned image. Streamline! Nostagia! It worked when Corel 8 CorelTrace DID NOT!
Hand drawn on acetate with...
Get the original [replacement] from the manufacturer...then charge double...for your trouble. THIS IS NOT A REPEAT CUSTOMER?! Are you concerned with making more money from him in the future or whether he can influence the market in your favor to earn income from people he will or won't refer...
It is sad when THE BOSS is not educated in their chosen endeavor. It is even sadder when the employees know more that the BOSS or have to solicit help online because THE BOSS does not know how to research a solution to problem or refuses to!
My deepest sympathies.
It is always annoying to get feedback with font names like ACIDCITYBOY which might be a font hack from the original - like SERPENTINE.
