  1. Your Rides

    This is my real baby though. 2010 Colnago CX1 with full Campagnolo Record. 15 pounds of pure carbon joy.
  2. Your Rides

    I had my brothers 69 Daytona, 440/4spd in my garage (with the keys!) for 6 months while he renovated his house/garage. He had two Daytonas, but just sold this green one, and has another lemon yellow one about 6 weeks from completion after a full resto. 440, 4spd. I loved driving it around the...
  3. Random thoughts for a kinder, gentler S101

    Some interesting responses, and to those who shared their name and/or photo, it's very nice to 'meet' you and put a face with a screen name, and vice versa. For those who don't know me, I'll introduce myself as well. I'm 42, and I run an 12 person ad agency in rural NJ, where we focus on the...
  4. Random thoughts for a kinder, gentler S101

    Just a thought - I wonder if there might be less hostility towards one another if everyone's avatar was their actual photo, and everyone nickname was their actual name. Somehow I think it might instill a little more kindness in our posts, as it's harder to be rude to 'Tom Jones' and his...
  5. logo idea

    No, House makes you buy the whole thing however its a good investment and the complete family is very useful. I don't know about fake fonts or bootlegs - but like everything else, I'm sure they exist. Hell, all my fonts exists for 'free' (ie. stolen) if you work hard enough to find 'em online.
  6. logo idea

    Be careful with the lowercase 'l' and 'i' right next to each other in the last example and earlier ones. You might be better served stacking the type so you don't have an issue with the lowercase l and i being next to each other. And then maybe 'impact' should be a much bolder version of the...
  7. Logo Critique

    Its being viewed from about 2.5'. I'm not too worried about it not being read from a distance. Viewed dead on, its more legible than the photo suggests.
  8. Logo Critique

    I love this guy.
  9. Logo Critique

    Chapter 7 in my next book. In fact, 50% of the book addresses this very fact. H&R Block can successfully brand a green square for one simple reason. Money. Hell, give me $50m and I'll successful brand a hexagon. The challenges for successful small business brand lay mainly in budget...
  10. Logo Critique

    I just had this sign made for my office. Its a quote I coined years ago, as I grew tired of clients trying to justify any measure of success as a rationale for perpetuating a poor brand. Point being, imagine how much greater success you might have attained with a better brand. ON a side note...
  11. Logo Design - Starting in B/W

    Very nice - all of em!
  12. The Bad Wrap update

    No insult interpreted - it's all good. Similar to Joe, we design brands first. A primary reason why most wraps fail has a lot to do with lack of brand integration. I look at all vehicle advertising as a primary way to raise brand awareness. Photographs, except perhaps for products, do...
  13. A present to you

    Thanks bud. I need staff too! I hired four in last 12 mos, and need another two I think. We're slammed, fortunately.
  14. A present to you

    Josh can you price you printing and installing on one + shipping since I don't have a printer?
  15. Need Billboard design feed back ASAP!!

    Taking up on earlier post maybe - 'TRUCK WRAPS THAT MEAN BUSINESS' - Then logo sans mountain, and no grunge on logotype, and just web addy. I'd actually prefer the headline to be more dominant than the brand. So for priority sake, its headline, call to action (web addy), then brand.
  16. Stumped

    Not sure if this is. But its one I've been beating the hell outta lately http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/prop-a-ganda/pag-revolucion/
  17. Best Wrap Certification

    For the wraps we design, if I don't know of a local shop I actually tell them them to find a few, see if they are 3m certified, and then send me their web site and I'll help them decide. If their web site sucks, they are definitely out. If they are not 3m certified, thats a strike against them...
  18. Need Billboard design feed back ASAP!!

    You are running black main copy on dark blue background and hoping your white outline is going to salvage your legibility. It won't. You will have a hard enough time reading 'Colorado', let alone 'SIGNS & WRAPS'. Try the design with no effects, outlines, or grunge. 7 words or less. Web addy...
  19. Printer turned Sign Maker?

    Here's a few that don't use such foolishness in their brand! http://www.graphicd-signs.com/hvac-logo-design-hvac-web-design Scroll down----
  20. Printer turned Sign Maker?

    Welcome. You're here because you want to learn, which is a great step. Study, and then study more. Make each design today better than yesterdays. Try and make each design worthy of being in SignCraft. It's a hard standard to live up to, but remember, we all start somewhere. One day I'll post my...
