I think it's interesting that this whole thread deals with the mechanics and equipment necessary to print and install a wrap, yet no one mentions the most important key to success, and that learning how to design. That's actually what's wrong with this business. Too much emphasis on mechanics...

Just my opinion, but therein lies the opportunity to actually stand out among a sea of mediocrity. Contrary to popular belief, there still are a lot of clients willing to pay good money for good design. It's not hard to see why some can get it and some can't. Regarding SignCraft - if you want...

We have a policies page on our site: http://www.graphicd-signs.com/client-policies . The sidebar also explains our policies. It takes pressure off of us; we direct people to it if they have any questions about it. Regarding printing, we bill in full before sending a job out; logos are 2/3...

When I was an apprentice at a sign shop learning to swing a brush and sweep the floors, the owner gave me a piece of advice that has served me well over the years. He said to treat every job as if it was SignCraft worthy. I always remembered that and when I got out on my own, that's what I did...

I used to be back in college. Was pretty obsessed with bench pressing actually. At my best, I pressed 270 while weighing 135#. After college stopped lifting and have been racing bicycles competitively for last 10 years or so. Today I weigh 152. After college and not doing anything I was up to...

Using QB Pro for MAC - upgraded recently to get the server version so employees could access the database simultaneously (6 people trying to share one file sucked). Anyway, since purchasing it in December, and installing in January - Inuit has released approx (no joke) 10 - 15 updates to it...

Was thinking the same thing, otherwise its very well executed. Nicely done. :U Rock:

Awesome news!

Yes the bottom one is going on right track. I forgot about this other golf logo I designed - on this site - http://golfinteract.com/ - showing a golfer swinging club. That might be another idea to consider. You may consider a tagline or something else to accompany the main company name. In the...

Here's a few we've done in this sector: http://www.graphicd-signs.com/portfolio-logo-health#6 http://www.graphicd-signs.com/portfolio-logo-health#2 The last one, we did a pretty big branding campaign for with trade show booths, collateral, web and the package design for a neat flat...

Thank you----- I just wanted to thank and acknowledge those that posted positive comments on my behalf. I really appreciated your support and kind words. I've since spoken to Zibby to just ensure that there was no misunderstanding on my intentions or my critique. As it relates the term...

Is their logo in a circle usually? The balance is really odd here as there isnt one dominant element, except for the circle. But the company name is so small within the circle, that it doesnt work as well as it could. I could see the script M as a dominant supergraphic close in contrast to...

Can you make primary copy closer in contrast the background?

Love my iPad. Been using it to sketch logos and such while in bed if I can't sleep, using either my finger or a stylus. Am writing a lot of my next book on it as well. And I use it for Netflix, etc to occupy myself while training indoors on my bike. The Flash issue is basically a non issue. We...

So true LOL. Guess it goes for any industry.

Darn- to think I've spent 15 years honing the craft, hiring half a dozen of designers, interface designers, content managers, copywriters and an SEO guy - and I could have done it an evening! What a waste of time!:banghead: OK, that was only minor sarcasm.... Just find it a little tough to...

I don't take offense to this, but it is actually my way of life. The last thing I touch at night is either my iphone or Macbook Pro. When I wake up, its my iPhone. Then I ride my trainer with iPad for an hour. The I get in my car, and listen to music on my old iPhone 3G. The I get in my office...

I thought thats what I said....? If not thats what I meant :)

The primary difference between corporate branding and small business branding is that corporate branding has what a small business doesn't have - and that's a ton of dough TO brand themselves. Small businesses do not have the same luxury, that's why I am generally always against building a...

This has been a great year thus far for logo design - almost too good, in that it has quickly overwhelmed me and my own staff to get all the work coming in done. Since January, we sold over 15 small business brand identity packages. I've admired and respected Rick Chavez work, and his...
