    I have gotten an incredible amount of help from Charlie with Rouge Roller in the last two or three days- I have been looking for a new niche to go with my sign business because stickers aren't cutting it for me.

    I can pick this apart in my mind and exactly how it's made... but how the heck am I going to justify charging the customer nearly $2,000 for this???? Any tips on that part? Or do these things just plain sell themselves? I also realize that shipping costs are going to get anyone who'll think...

  8. Rough logo ideas for catering company.

    Gemper Gourmet.... any of the ideas look good but I would def. incorporate a large G into the design in reverse somewhere like the 2nd one. That way he can just use the large G anywhere he wants to and it'll be reflected in the logo... think the pie lids, anything like that, and everybody that...

  12. Some days I love my job....

    Congratulations... sometimes free design work pays off... do it on nights and weekends... I love to play around on the computer, gives me something more constructive to do than sit on my *** reading the news. :) You can always make the suggestions and then make the moola if they like it!
  13. Opinions welcomed.

    increasing your outline on the refreshing change of life would be in order and then as they have said, switch to white for the bottom letters and make them bigger. I would also increase the outline around the light blue, it would be more readable and help the sign to "pop" better. You may...

    Just go get a Wagner steamer and try it out. They are less than $50. I had one for a long time sold it because I never used it now I wish I still have it. If it'll boil water (212 degrees) at 70 degrees in 5 minutes it'll work just fine below freezing, might take 10 mins to come to temp.
