    the ending part is Bickham.
  2. You thought you got ripped off?

    There were 4 winners. We won 3 out of the 4, or 4 out of the 4 if you include the stolen one. The other 'winning' entry has since been removed and now ours are officially the only three winning entries. Anyway, Chris thanks for the info on the DMCA. We've just signed up as well - and found...
  3. You thought you got ripped off?

    Yes its the wild, wild west out there unfortunately. Our latest theft was the copywriting from our own site copied nearly in its entirety, onto another 'advertising agency' (sorry, have to put quotes on that). My lawyer did the usual C&D and DMCA stuff. Guy claimed the usual 'didn't know' and...
  4. Desire by Charles Borges

    I don't want to comment on Charles' specific reason, but for most font designers it becomes an issue of distribution. The greater your distribution outlets, the greater chance for residuals. Same for my book. I make more money selling the book on my site, but instead of keeping it exclusive on...
  5. Desire by Charles Borges

    It's awesome. Charles spent an amazing amount of time crafting a killer font family. We're already beating it to death. Here's a wrap and brand we just designed that integrates it.
  6. The USSC show, the day after.

    Thanks for picking up the book! Hope you enjoy it. The bullpen was fun, and saw a lot of old friends. Even picked up a lettering a quill and did some work on one of the charity signs. Man it was nice to mix some 1-Shot and thinner. Been sooo long! For me, the show is a bit sad to see how...
  7. New Truck Lettering

    So awesome. Love it!
  8. Is it too early to talk about the USSC show yet?

    Cool - look forward to meeting you hopefully!
  9. Something I wanted to share. Dan Antonelli and ProWraps project.

    I wasn't sure when on a white background, what color the star is. I didn't have the file accessible here, and besides me, there's 4 other designers involved in the project, so I wasn't certain. I checked and on a white background, it is also a red star. I don't agree that most people think...

  11. Something I wanted to share. Dan Antonelli and ProWraps project.

    Gino- I'm pretty sure on a white background the star is blue. I'll have to check. It could have gone process blue here I suppose - I didn't specifically consider a red star to be unpatriotic, but point taken!
  12. Something I wanted to share. Dan Antonelli and ProWraps project.

    Great feedback, and thanks for sharing that perspective! The client definitely wanted to veer away from their old logo (viewable on their site), and didn't want to appear to be 'wrapped in the flag' so to speak as their prior brand was. We researched a lot of some of the branding from the 50s...
  13. Something I wanted to share. Dan Antonelli and ProWraps project.

    The owner, his father, and his sons have all served in the armed forces. The company name has been in existence for a while. I think the name, and brand image speak to a higher level of service a homeowner would expect to get should they choose to do business with them. And the tagline helps...
  14. pulling my hair out

    Virtual Tours are more high tech technology, so I don't quite get the use of Piedmont in kind of a dated face, Papyrus or not. Something like this I would tend to go modern san-serif for all type, and look for a graphic or image that connotes motion, or something circular in nature, maybe...
  15. Sci Fi Logo

    I like where it's going, and I'm sure with the graphics it will look even better. It's hard to judge it without the proper context and it's intended application. I might say to darken your outlining a touch so it wasn't being brought forward as much. Like others have said - its a cool style it's...
  16. Is it too early to talk about the USSC show yet?

    I'll be down on Friday, signing copies of my new book at the Beacon Graphics booth 10-30-12, and 2-3:30. Hope to see some of you there!
  17. Building a BIG small business BRAND

    Glad you're enjoying it Craig! I feel like I've been saying on this site that I've been writing it for so long, you guys were probably starting to think I was lying! It's literally 1000 days since I boarded a flight to San Diego and drafted the outline during that flight. This is a bit of how...
  18. Something I wanted to share. Dan Antonelli and ProWraps project.

    I gotta say I have mad respect for you installers, and especially someone of Chris' capabilities. It's so easy to mock this stuff in Photoshop and hit 'multiply' and bam, my 'wrap' work is done. And granted, some of our designs aren't the easiest to execute in 'real life' so to speak. But guy's...
  19. Suggestions and critiques welcome

    As Craig suggested the panel shape is becoming the dominant element, not the name itself. Try and build the panel around the typography in a way that it's more a design component rather than the central component. I think you may be trying to integrate too many automotive elements into the panel...
