  1. Name that font from one numeral?

    Awesome, that looks like it..and I have it! Thanks (I still think there is a font out there that has those characteristics on it's own)
  2. Name that font from one numeral?

    I know I've used it, it was one of those "70s" modern fonts, like Peignot (or pignuts as we fondly called it)
  3. Screws for outdoor use: coated vs stainless?

    We use both depending on the project. The only thing about deck screws is they are usually flat head and for some installs we want a round head, so those get stainless.
  4. Name that font from one numeral?

    No clues?
  5. Installing banners on Stucco-foam

    and to add to what Gino said, obviously you will be punching holes in a wall that isn't supposed to have holes in it, and there is a good chance the damage could be significant. We have done everything from screws into the sheathing behind it, toggle bolts when the subsurface is too deep for...
  6. Name that font from one numeral?

    This looks familiar but I can't find it in my library anyone have an idea? Thanks
  7. Need Help Big time newbie starting business making magnetic signs

    As much as people want to consider magnets "temporary" my customers who use them do not. I have some guys that have bought magnets every 5 years or so from me for 25 years. I always give the standard spiel about "no guarantee" etc and have a hand out for their use ...but I still make them to...
  8. Legal to sell logos which were not paid for?

    Depends on your paperwork trail, if you have ironclad proof take it to an IP attorney to get the real story.
  9. best place to go for vectoring??

    yep, the Vector Doctor.
  10. Need Help Big time newbie starting business making magnetic signs

    yep, you sure stepped into here :ROFLMAO: Magnets are not a big profit item for most shops since on line and hack merchants have killed the market. Plus you don't have the right machine. So if you want to do something with that machine, poster printing is your best bet. Otherwise you need a new...
  11. How do you handle clients ideas vs logo design?

    It depends, I'm not usually designing a logo, more often a "sign design" that sometimes get turned into a logo. If you read any of Dan Antonellis books it has a lot to do with how you are presenting yourself to the client. He turned himself into a branding company as opposed to a sign shop that...
  12. Got old cracking Vinyl to remove? BUY THIS YESTERDAY!

    For that price I'll try it, going to buy it as a Christmas present for the shop
  13. Banner fixation idea 48'x4'

    The only solution I know (if the poles are strong enough) is a steel cable turnbuckled taut, preferably top & bottom and then grommets w/ hvy duty zip ties every 2 feet or so and heavy bungees to the pole at the four corners. Would cost more than the banner though.
  14. Need Help Using sign/installation skills and moving to new industry???

    If that major city is NYC, how about something in tech theater/TV? Lot's of different types of materials, projects etc.
  15. Carved Black & Silver

    The thing I liked about this carved sign was no gold leaf, as much as I love gold leaf it's nice to take a break from it on a carved sign. This is 1.5" HDU with the company name carved. Two products panels from ACM that can be changed. Finished with black acrylic enamel & silver metallic acrylic...
  16. Plumber sells truck but leaves the decals. ISIS uses his truck with decals still on..

    Yep that's a while ago, but a good lesson. I knew someone who's trucks I did have everything go bad, divorce, bankruptcy, foreclosure etc. That was years ago, there are still a few of his trucks around with his graphics on them, must kill him every time he sees one.
  17. HP Z6100 error code 8:11

    Try looking online for the z6100 manual/error codes. I think it has something to do with the font panel communicating with the PCA. You could try checking/reseating the connections, the jam could have shook something loose. But get the manual first to get the error code and see here the...
  18. Legal Mess. Who's to blame?

    Boy, that sucks. No matter what it's going to cost the local sign company. Unless the franchise owned the signs or had a right of removal (including the can) which doesn't sound like the case there is trouble coming. They may have had the right to remove the branding but not the the actual sign...
  19. Discussion Welcome thread- Tell us about yourself or just say hello.

    Started part time with a local sign guy after high school. Went to Butera Sign School in Boston '74. Been at it one way or another ever since. Current shop started in 1990, bought out my partner in'99. We are a 4 person shop doing a large variety of commercial sign work.
