  1. Sailor's Retreat hand carved sign.

    Wow! very clean layout and execution indeed. So classy with very few simple elements. I'll give you 10/10. One for SignCraft mag I think.
  2. Need help for design

    A true airbrush artist would have nothing to do with Photoshop?? You must be reading the wrong magazines??
  3. Opinions welcomed.

    Thank you all for the replies. I did cringe when they (2 guys, but one seemed more in charge) specifically wanted orange for its brightness. I explained that it was neutral and would need either black or white outline/shade for contrast. The first design I did, the panel was higher and I used...
  4. The Billboard is up!

    I agree too that it is too old fashioned now, BUT it easily passes the squint test? I would not do it that way now but that is much more legible. Styles (not fonts) and colours at the time were brilliant.
  5. Opinions welcomed.

    With all the chat about what defines good "sign" design and what doesn't I would like some feedback on this sign. Sometimes, because I work alone and noboby here to bounce ideas off l feel, maybe I am getting out of whack a bit. A guy rang and I had to meet him onsite to discuss what he needed...
  6. The Billboard is up!

    Whatever happened to simplicity in billboard advertising? This pic is from a 3M advertising brochure from the early 60's (just after Scotchlite® was invented). It is full of pics similar to this, all on black background demonstrating how it lit up at night. The advertising value to the customer...
  7. The Billboard is up!

    Sorry, But I think you missed the turnoff totally with it.. Modern day signage without the advertising appeal.
  8. Newbie Need help with EASYSIGN software

    Wow!!! how I love reading 5 year old threads???
  9. Critque?

    You can go to the supermarket with your wife and look at the labels on the goods. I have had inspiration for signwork just by looking at the breakfast cereal box on the table whilst eating breakfast??
  10. logo idea

    How can you call your business "visual IMPACT" and not be able to make your own "IMPACT"??? Anyway if you are looking for an image you may just have to fake it and PAY a designer. Good luck!!
  11. Armed Forces night at my house - both wanting my daughter!

    Dave, you and melissa will be the best "in-laws" any guy could ever have. KR will be very proud of you both and you son in law will have you as the best parents (beside his own) that he could ever have.
  12. Why does coffee in cafes taste 100x better than at home?

    Becoz it costs 10x times more!! lol!
  13. Has this happened to anyone?

    Welcome from Down-Under!!:Australia
  14. Funny neon oopsies

    LMAO, I often see similar ones here.. but never have a camera handy!
  15. Vacation Time - Getting Married, then off to Cabo!

    Congratulations! I don't think I have to say "Have fun" as I am sure that will just happen. good luck for the future!
  16. new logo idea

    It looks very generic to me. I think John Deaton or Neato could do you a good cartoon of a wild hog with big tusks dribbling, nose snorting etc., breaking through some kind of shattered panel, (maybe diamond plate!!! lol!) with a font of a cartoon nature, (maybe A&S Fonts, "Cartoon".
  17. Why a day.. Vent

    I'd say walk away while you are still ahead! Some people are a wast of space so forget it and make room for the REAL customers.
  18. Father teaches daughter a lesson about Facebook

    I don't have kids, but i think it is hard love, and will be the best lesson Hannah will ever learn.
  19. Slowly Disappearing...

    All the best Arlo. You deserve your "me time" after what you have been through. Get in your RV with Melissa and your guitar and go wherever the wind blows you.. I'll PM you later on.
  20. Graphic design V sign design???

    Nope, they are not the big company now, (Coates) and I could not see the "reflection" just anothwer keyboard button. It still loks billious to me and it is the 3rd time in 3 years they have attempted to get a new look. If you look at one of the pictures you will see the last attemp that was 100%...
