  1. City of Amarillo logo ripoff

    Caught this article on a logo design FB page I subscribe to.. http://www.logodesignlove.com/city-of-amarillo-logo Basically the city "designs" a logo inhouse, instead of using an actual graphic designer. http://amarillo.com/news/2013-11-11/city-defends-controversial-new-logo
  2. Font help, sticker from the 70s

    I'm trying to recreate this sticker that the Norwegian VW distributor put on VW Golfs in the late 70s, but however familiar the font on the text is, I can't find it.. But I bet some of you can! :)
  3. Font for Volvo heavy machinery?

    Looking to recreate some decals for Volvo heavy machinery, pic enclosed. For the other ones I have used DIN mittelschrift, but its just close, not a match.
  4. Summa S class 2 plotters, the new ones

    My little Roland is getting ready for replacement, rather sooner than later, and I'm very curious about the new 2nd generation S class cutters. Only having used a D series Summe before, I have no experience with any S class cutter. But Summa in general looks to be highly regarded when it comes...
  5. Font help please

    I need to find the font used on the words "ground zero" in this pic. But I'm not so familiar with this style of lettering. Any takers?
  6. Geek Wraps - great service!

    I just wanted to share my experiences with the great people at Geek Wraps for their (yet again) great products and speedy delivery! I have ordered from them twice before, and since 2010 when a member here made me aware of them by recommending their squeegees, I have used their installation tools...
  7. Different monitor setups, what do you have?

    I'm in the process of designing my new office layout, and that includes monitor setup for my design computer. The screen card is capable of running triple screens if I want, and I need to decide what configuration I want to settle on. I've been running a mid-level single 27" 1920x1080 monitor...
  8. This font is named?

    Not too familiar with these kinds of fonts, the one used on "Racing Team" The top one looks to be Serpentine, and the numbers are Impact(?), but the middle one has me stumped.. Owner of said racing team ordered this banner on ebay, the seller designed and printed it. Now they want a traller...
  9. Font help - almost there I think

    I am thinking this is some variant in the Serpentine family? It's the only pic I have... Am I on the right track? Edit: the letters seem to have smoother edges than Serpentine, that have beginnings of tiny serifs if that is the right way to describe it.
  10. You had ONE job! (funny signage mistakes)

    I see a lot of monday mornings and friday afternoons here :) http://leenks.com/gallery2019.htm
  11. Redesign of motorsport club logo

    Just wanted to swing this design-in-progress by you for some feedback maybe? This is a redesign of a logo for a local motorsport club that have a 50/50 split between motocross and circuit car racing, so the design brief was to include a reference to both groups if a symbol were a part of the...
  12. SP(i) vs VS print+cut machines, real world differences?

    This is a question for you Roland dealers, techs or users. If you look away from the added colours setups/choices on the VS range, what are the advantages/disadvantages of each range for day to day use? I have read all the spec sheets, and the few reviews I have found, but some real world...
  13. My homemade vinyl racks

    Keeping up with the others. I thought I'd show my basic but functional vinyl racks for my 24" rolls. Used some particle board sheets and some 2x4" found in the garage, and bought a load of (insert fancy word for broomhandle) material. Set about marking and drilling holes, 2 sheets at a time so...
  14. But we did JUST what the customer ordered??

    Found this gem on a local online newspaper, in an article about bad cake designs. So the customer calls in an order, somebody writes it down and hands the note to the decorator. Seems easy enough right? They need proofing in the cake business it seems :)
  15. Some old design work from school :)

    I was categorizing some old hard drives, and I found this old pdf that shows some of my old design work, mostly from school. Also some actual projects that have been set to life, like the logo designs for the bowling alley, freelance writer (Meyers) and car forum (evo.no). All of these are from...
  16. My first proper shop! (moving out of the basement)

    I just signed a deal for a new shop, and I'm really looking forward to moving out of the home basement in the middle of a residential area to a brand new locale right in the busiest and most expanding commercial area in the island I live in! I started my own business about a year and a half...
  17. Oracal vinyl for pvc/banner substrate?

    A client of mine has recently purchased a mobile concert stage (7x10meters) and he wants some text and his logo on the sides. They are made from PVC (like banner material), but are stretched up like a permanent canvas, so they will stay in place like that, not folded when the stage is set up...
  18. How would YOU wrap this?

    Porsche rear wing that is. I wrapping a Porsche 996 GT3 mkI now, pretty much done with it apart from the bumpers and rear wing. Bumpers are a breeze but the shape of the rear wing is a bit of a challenge. I have plenty of time since the owner just left for a two week RV holiday driving through...
  19. Some signs from other places (well, at least they tried!)

    Found these beauties on a website.. Lost for words... unlike these signmakers :D
  20. Upgrading from Flexistarter 8.6v2 to Flexistarter 10, worthwhile?

    Quick question, since the SAi homepage was not helpful at all (does not even mention Flexistarter as part of the Flexi family). I currently use Flexistarter 8.6v2 on my Roland GX-24 (I do all my design work/file setups in Illustrator, so Flexistarter does all I need it to do, setting up files...
