Acoustic guitar... calms the nerves and gets the creative juices going... works every time.

Banners are short term and should not be up for any longer than say 3 months. A banner is a short term promotional avenue, NOT a sign, and as such I am with council on this one. Believe it or not, if banners were used for the purpose they were intended, it would actually generate more...

Looks like a "personalised" version of the good ol' Copperplate Heavy.

I just hate anything that is sign related and appliies the word "discount, discounters, cheap, cheaper, cheapest" etc etc. There are enough guys around that their work promotes this, let alone having it publically promoted in the company name. It sells the craft short. That aside, both...

@ Kottwitz - post #68 I think you have me mixed up with FAYT - I did not post any portfolio pics. Now I am laughing out loud

Style wise - post #6 has it. Now play with fonts. just make sure the kerning is right..... or Jilly will rouse on you

Just because you're hearing... doesn't mean you are listening. I guess all you "Old Guys" know jack chit. Experience.... wisdom.... knowledge... Nahhhhhhhh Just let portfolios speak for themselves.... that is the mark of one who is positioned to speak the loudest and be heard by...

"Like I said, I will keep getting the jobs, and you all can close up for lack of business." Well... there goes the sign industry and Signs 101. Looks like Fayt will be the only "go to guy" for signs. Oh well... the sign game was fun while it lasted. Gots ta go get me a positions...

Double post... sorry... gots me excited

OMG. I hope that's the early stuff. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE everyone and I mean EVERYONE... lay off Fayt. He needs our help.!!!!!!!!!

"I own a commercial vinyl sign company in Charlottesville Virginia. If anyone is over this way, stop by and check out the place. I've been making signs for 3 years (between this business and my last shop)" Just because you can play a guitar doesn't make you a musician.

"So again when an insurance company wants $500 worth of signage, you actually turn it down? I wonder why you are still in business." I am still in business because I know what the phuck I am doing and talking about , and I would be charging $ 5000 for the Insurance Company business. That's...

I understand that the US economy is bad at the moment but I won't even turn the plotter on for less than $60. Get me on a "bad day" or good week when I don't need it and it's $100. If we take absolutes and you are doing the right thing (choosing good fonts, cast vinyl etc), chances are it...

"and suddenly us old dog print guys are having to layer again.... after already forgetting to cut reg marks" You just gettin' old and lazy Doug

Signmeup has nailed it.

Welcome from sunny Sydney

Oh... and by the way.... I am damn good at my profession because I work hard at it. YES - surprise surprise I can often do a job in one hour (that's the tips and tricks you learn after 16 years) that takes others 3 hrs to do. Do you think I am going to charge what I do it in - or others do...

"I am not out to do multi color/cut stuff..yet? I don't want to ruin reflective, or thicker vinyl." Man you really are in the wrong place right now. I would "play" free of charge or at least just materials cost - doing only friends / community work. I have to be honest and say that you...

Whats wrong with being drunk? Not only that - you can rely on me being drunk. How much more reliable do you want???
