  1. Pricing Help for a Hand Painted Sign

    That's not my sketch, that's the original sign that they don't like.
  2. Need Tarbell Realtors Logo in Vector Format

    See if this works for you - tried to upload a CS4 AI file but wouldn't let me. It's slightly rough but could be tweaked a tad to look official.
  3. Need Tarbell Realtors Logo in Vector Format

    That looks high res enough that you may be able to bump up the size a tad in Photoshop and live trace in Illustrator. Sorry I'm not providing the logo, I just think that may work in a pinch. Or pen tool it in Illustrator.
  4. Pricing Help for a Hand Painted Sign

    From what I've gathered (and I have to drive over an hour out to get the sign, assuming I can take it with me) I should be charging in the neighborhood of around $450 + travel, design and install/take down. He wants something hand-done, not a pre-made font, and wants to see several options...
  5. Pricing Help for a Hand Painted Sign

    I appreciate the input, but not sure how you could pull off the "15 to 20 minutes of design time" and a half hour for the painting unless it's subpar work. I haven't measured the sign, but the guy tells me it's about 10 feet long and 2 feet high. He's looking for quality and something that will...
  6. Pricing Help for a Hand Painted Sign

    Thanks, the copy will remain the same, "Old Sugarlands Store" - but in a more vintage lettering and will have a drop shadow. Basically they want something more unique and interesting to fit the time period.
  7. Pricing Help for a Hand Painted Sign

    I appreciate the response. The point is to make the sign much better though. It won't be a simple black on white, should have mentioned that. Would likely be a solid colored, non-white background with a two-color lettering job. They hate how it looks now and want something more unique and...
  8. Pricing Help for a Hand Painted Sign

    Hey guys, tomorrow I'm heading out to give a quote on a hand painted sign job. The sign is roughly 10' x 2', wooden, and currently has lettering that will need to be covered prior to painting on new lettering in an early 1900s style. I've been in graphic design for years but not in tune to...
  9. Where to buy Ronan Lettering Enamel?

    I'm looking to buy some Ronan Lettering Enamel - I can't seem to find any online retailers. They all sell either the Aquacote or the Bulletin Enamels. Does anyone have any ideas?
  10. Sign Painting Over Finished Wood

    Just so I know, would there be any issues with using a product like Sherwin Williams All Surface Enamel Latex Base and then applying lettering on top of that?
  11. Sign Painting Over Finished Wood

    Thanks, yes they're meant to be interior signs. As for the base coat - what's the typical choice? Should I just go with a gloss latex acrylic paint and letter right over that?
  12. Sign Painting Over Finished Wood

    Hey everyone, new to the forum and new to the world of sign painting. Really glad to be here. I have a ton of questions but this is the topic that's been eating at me for a while and I can't seem to find much online about it - and yet it's an incredibly novice question. I'm interested in...
