  1. Can a city, town etc... bar you from using your trademarked logo or logotype?

    Serious question, and I need sources if you have info. Now I know color changes are common, so this question does not concern that aspect. What I am referring to here is the core design of your logo. Does any municipality have the right to bar you from utilizing your logo? Can they really...
  2. Need to find the non-distressed version of this font

    Wow, thanks. I drew the smooth vector around the text manually earlier, but this will still come in handy. The clients designer claimed there was no font for their logotype and that they created it from scratch...LOL...yeah, right.
  3. Need to find the non-distressed version of this font

    Not it, already looked at it....the C, T and R don't match at all
  4. Need to find the non-distressed version of this font

    The client supplied the logo, but it was distressed from and existing font which they do not have. I need to help create a smooth outline for some letters we are CNCing for them. Any ideas?
  5. I canna find it!

    Odd little font I have to match. Any ideas?
  6. Early Christmas present!

    Challenge accepted. We used our two guys in the video, but I know either Alex or I alone can probably mount a 4x8 in about 3 minutes. Next time we mount a 4x8 we'll take a go at it. Running back and fourth only constitutes about an 8 foot distance anyway...no big deal. Watson, we aren't...
  7. Why would you do that?

    Keith, We credited him for the reuse of the HDU. We made the previous sign and wanted to hang it in the shop. Someone else came along and did it cheaper, as well, they did not approach the fabrication properly either.
  8. Client requires a "sign agreement" to send to corporate for capital expenditures.

    First time I have run into this. Anyone have any idea what they may require? Sources for boiler plate documents?
  9. Material Failure or Damaged by customer?

    Tell him point blank that you can tell from experience it didn't just "pop". Ask firmly if he knows what did the damage...get him to cop to it. Tell him next time not to lie about it, that you are always willing to help out with an unforeseen instance like this so soon after it was a fresh...
  10. The Dangers of handling vinyl (PVC)??

    Eh, vinyl won't hurt you. I have worked with it for over twenty years and never had any monkey ham danger rolodex snap hot dog platypus dinosaur.
  11. Snap Weeding Vinyl

    This is why I like cutting vinyl with split lines & easy-weed on. Just yank the end of the vinyl and VOILA!...done. Those of you that have never tried it....play around with the split lines and easy-weed options. A bit longer to cut...but less stress later.
  12. Some recent work

    This was one of those projects that was great to see come together in the end. Don't get me wrong, it all looked good along the way, but that moment where the tire was mounted on the pylons and we started adding the tread....it just REALLY made the whole thing look legit. The company has a...
  13. Why would you do that?

    Everyone, this is not about comparing designs. This is about a client going with the lowest bidder. We told him we could not reuse the board, but would still credit him for the substrate because we wanted the old sign in the shop as a prismatic sample. When whoever made the sign blasted it...
  14. Close to Avant Garde but not quite?

    Yes, EXACTLY! That Damn R!!!
  15. Oceans?

    Check WTF and WFI and search through my whole library...I have nothing...anyone know?
  16. Bulk Ink Suppliers?

    I have the printer (Xerox 8265 aka Mutoh Rockhopper III), the bulk ink system, now I just need ink. Looks like Triangle Inks are fairly popular...looking at Jetbest too. Can anyone reccomend a few southeast suppliers to source from. Also open to other ink brand recommendations too. Thanks:)
  17. Sign remake

    Your not talented enough to push a few nodes around in AI, but your designing signs? Take a break from "designing" play around with illustrator for a few days and learn the raw basics. Drawing out a basic shape for a sign like that should take about 3 minutes and it's REALLY something you...
  18. Graphtec FC7000 Speed up manual feed of media?
