tow signage

[sdwnymph]

Hi all, been doing alot of research and having trouble finding basic no parking, custom parking and such signs. Can find plenty of very small .jpg's but NO vectors what so ever. I figured out that the font is Interstate.. but cant find a copy of that ANYWHERE to make the signs... getting kinda stumped. Anyone know where can find vectors of these signs and/or the font? And yes.. I have all the basic street signs.. but no real "no parking" signs (not the circle slash P).

Get a piece of software called Corel. It has just about everything in it.

Are you serious?

This is a sign forum for signwriters and signmakers.

So make them yourself. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[sdwnymph]

these are the signs that I'm looking for... size isnt a problem if have a vector template..
I have Corel on the work comp -never use it, I use Photoshop & Illustrator as my primary progs. I'm trying to find the templates and/or the fonts...

Please observe Signs 101 rules on posting pictures found here

Okay, you have it..... and never use it. So, that means we're supposed to go out and look for something you already have but are too lazy to open the frickin' book and download what you already have ??

C'mon ...... how do you expect to get along in anything if you refuse to help yourself ??

Here's a link to the Interstate font family.

You can't vectorize your own simple parking signs = epic fail.

I too find this question alittle odd, but hears a bone if it helps. I use grimco for all this kinda stuff, they have the signs premade and can also customize them, they are available in all the right reflective form. If you dont want to buy them from a supplier like this, then recreate, dont know how? better learn, and fast.

Not to hijack this thread, but can somebody help me find a template for making those 18"x24" rectangle shapes that the parking signs are made on? I get calls for them all the time and it takes me an hour or more to make one from scratch.

I bet if somebody made a rectangle clip art collection, they would sell really well.

Geno told me he makes the round ones.

 

[SignManiac]

Do the ones that Gino makes, come in more than one size? You know what they say, time is money and I'm all about saving time and money.

Blue Highway is a free font clone of Interstate

You can also find a pdf online with loads of street signs. One of the files contains blank templates for road signs. Seriously! Rectangles, Circles, Diamonds, etc... they are all there!

amazing.........the caliber of new people in this once intelligent venture. not being mean, but........most of us old timers, could look at a font, and recreate it IN PAINT!!!!

Be fair OP, in your day how many "fonts" could there have been in the world?
5 -10 -maybe an even dozen at the most?
Those Egyptian hieroglyphs for the most part seem to be set in a single style....

I think this is what Dan Striker was talking about in the Mellissa thread yesterday.

Actually Wayne they were called "styles". It was how you knew who undercut you because you could recognize his style.

Just buy them from the supplier whose pictures you posted.
Come on man, making signs is so easy a caveman could do it.
