  1. A wrap that makes people call 911

    A two dimensional image of what appears to be a female of the species that, upon inspection, seems to have her hands tied. From this you deduce horrific crime? Brutalization? Kidnap? Sexual assault? Mopery with intent to gawk? Get a grip. All of these things you think you see are only in your...
  2. A wrap that makes people call 911

    What line is that? some line there in your village? What, exactly, do you find wrong with this particular tailgate wrap? Be specific and objective. Any use of any form of the word 'offend' will negate your response. As for myself I think it's brilliant. I've tried for some years to dream...
  3. Opinions and Advice,Window Decal

    If my aunt were otherwise equipped she would be my uncle. Your dearth of knowledge of typography seems only exceeded by your lack of understanding of the syllogistic form 'Material Implication'. For those of you that when to public schools, that would be a statement in the form 'If ... Then ...'.
  4. Opinions and Advice,Window Decal

    What you don't seem to be aware of are the fundamental rules of typography. Break them at your peril and because you do understand them, not. as is your case, because you don't. When you say "every single one of us" you attempt to include yourself in a group of which, if this monstrosity is...
  5. Opinions and Advice,Window Decal

    Perhaps people push but you seem to resist. This is a typographical disaster. About a 10 on the typesetting Richter scale. Total devastation. One does not arc italics, one does not arc script, and one does not arc upper and lower case. Generally. You have incorporated this trifecta of taboos...
  6. Vinyl Wrinkling At Beginning of Application

    No, I'm talking about the excess vinyl that lies outside the rectangle you cut around the images. Unless, of course, in the photos you posted the image is white vinyl on a gray backing paper. I assumed it was gray vinyl on a white backer. Silly me.
  7. Vinyl Wrinkling At Beginning of Application

    I never said it wasn't completely weeded, I said that there's a border of excess vinyl. It looks very much like a bounding rectangle was cut around the text and the final product will be trimmed to this rectangle. What's outside this rectangle is excess vinyl. Regardless of the presence of...
  8. Vinyl Wrinkling At Beginning of Application

    Trim the excess vinyl down to 1/2" or so or, more better, get rid of it completely, before you mask. What's happening here is the relatively massive amount of waste vinyl is grabbing onto the mask far more aggressively than the neighboring areas where there is no vinyl. Which is exactly what it...
  9. As an Adobe user, I'm in shock!

    Standard? As pronounced by what authority? The reason, the ONLY reason, that Adobe products [and Apple as well] see widespread use is that both companies pretty much give their stuff to academia. From these institutions young heads full of mush go forth to make their way thinking that the...
  10. My Big Squeegee workcenter.

    The first time you nail your shins on the roll holder when it's in the down position you'll figure out another way.
  11. Shovelhead

    Peace my friend. You come in alone and you go out alone but as long as a single person remembers, you live on. I will remember. Pax vobiscum.
  12. FC5100-75 - Registration Frustration!

    From where did the registration marks come? Did you add them or are they the result of specifying a contour cut line? If the former then do the latter. If the latter then...shrug.
  13. Need some help

    In my collection it's called 'Staccato555'. A hideous type face, especially in all caps.
  14. GX-24 - Strange issues with cutting

    For the umpteenth time... While it might be a dying motor or perhaps a malfeasant belt, try simply blowing the dust and crud out of the tool carriage, especially the blade up/down mechanism. More often than not, but not always, this sort of crappy cutting is caused by a build-up of...
  15. Old Car Script

    Nice? Badly spaced brush script's vicious cousin and Yet Another misuse of Copperplate aren't nice. They're a typographical mid-air collision.
  16. Vinyl on a curve.

    If the curve isn't compound, in other words it's flat up and down and only curved left to right [or vice versa], intermediate will work just as well as if it were on a flat surface. Even at that, a 10' diameter silo would have a circumference of 31.4159265...feet. A 4' arc on a 31' circle...
  17. uh oh, another husband , wife golf joke

    Not husband and wife but golf nonetheless... It was a slow day in heaven so god told his kid, Jesus, they were going to shoot a round of golf. They both metaphysically appeared at the first tee of the country club, appropriately attired, and god, being god, had the honors, teed up and...
  18. sad day as handmade sign is about to be lost

    Really? The layout, typography, and lettering are aggressively mediocre and that airbrush cartoon work is rather amateur. The sort of work you'd expect from car show airbrush wranglers whipping out t shirts.
  19. Logo Critique

    The original post and the twenty-odd replies are, all of them and especially those attempting alternatives, confirming instances of why sign people should generally refrain from attempting to do logos. Sign people do signs and a logo is supposed to be a symbol, an icon, preferably one that's...
  20. A little rebranding.... Thoughts

    Why? Bad is bad and the worth or lack thereof of anyone else's ensign does not make it a damn bit better.
