He called me for help with his sign

That sign is so horrible I am surprised it is in ingles/english.
I look forward to seeing what you replace with it - you should have no fear of it doing any worse than what they approved last time.

 

When someone chooses the default Arial sign design look there's nothing like taking the theme all the way by squeezing and stretching the ugly default type. Extra points for doing additional squeezing and stretching after the multiple outline effects are added. That way nothing is uniform in appearance. I guess that bullet list of services is sort of left justified. Sort of. Red type on a blue background with white outlines around the lettering? That's a master example on how to make some lettering not legible -especially when the color combination is back-lit at night.

 

argh, it hurts my eyes. Please make him a better sign

 

My predecessor always used the default Myriad Pro that is auto for adobe and refused or didn't know how to eliminate hyphenating.

I regularly fluxing the **** our of kerning and type width when I have to deal with the font, due to a Dunning -Kruger marking manger I try to give respect, though I don't work for her.

 

When you redo it, change it from "30 minute repairs" to " fixed by the time you finish 3 darts"

 

Your COVID plan and advice to our current US President has been u helpful.

I would like my money back.

 

? Wtf are you on about?

 

What?!

 

8 posts to go from a joke post about sign design to a political thread, I wish I could say I thought that was a new record but I know it's not.

In the words of Donald Trump SAD!

 

With a product /service range from 30-minute repairs to snuffs this should be an easy one for you to hit out of the park Tex.

 

A retrofitted flex face. Cool.

 

The light is blocking their "Semen Repairs" service.

And I don't care what anybody says...there's still not going to be enough room to list the free rectal / pelvic exams....

Thats no problem, tex doesnt like working for free

 

Dang...you caught me during an edit to my post. I also added the fact that there's a problem with the first line of text!

Well, I couldn't let someone beat me to it!

 

No matter how ya look at it, this is gonna end with a happy ending.

 

I can only hope when the sign co that originaly did this fought tooth and nail and tried to explain to this ingrate that saying everything you offer is not a good thing. Also since customer said "it has lights" also means ballast and wiring is shot to hell and most bulb sockets dont work, lol....just get ready to install another banner on it

 

What does he need you to do besides fix that piece bent out of place in the top right corner? Other than that I don't see anything wrong with that sign!

Kudos to the sign company that said, "Yes, I can do all of these things for you." Followed by, "Permits? We don't need no stinking permits!!!"
