Hey Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I went fishing for some striped bass (caught a bunch up to 25#s) rode my bike 40 miles, and enjoyed some time with family too. Doesn't get any better than that! Bought myself a new bike, and iPad to help me mourn the loss of my 30's.

Here's a new site we recently launched for House of Signs in Colorado. Some of you may be familiar with owner Roger Cox's work - as he's been featured in all the top sign magazines, including several covers. He does some amazing work. This is our first sign company web site design to utilize...

Thats too bad...

Aha, Jim. True. But those things you speak of are commodities, not services. I don't sell commodities. We've really hijacked this thread completely! LOL.

True Jim, to a degree - but that assumption is based on the premise that you can get the same exact thing at two different places. Our assumption is that you can't get what we deliver anywhere else, which leaves you only with the question as to whether you can afford us, or not. If they...

Jim, We ask for a budget on our request page. If the budget comes in low, we generally send them to a non-public page which contains 'starting at' pricing info, along with a general pitch that further elaborates on why we charge what we charge, etc. But, yes, you are right. I can't call every...

Depends on if you plan on selling vinyl by the pound, or if you're interested in selling design instead. We have no prices on our site, but still get 25-30 inquiries per week, so no pricing works best for us, as we can get a chance to explain what our prices DO entail, and how we're different...

Kudos on the attitude Paul.

Lugg, Any advice or help you need on making the transition, let me know. For us, it wasn't like turning a switch, but more a gradual transition. Some clients weren't on board with it, and still thought of me as a truck lettering guy only. And some came along for the ride and are still with me...

Way to rock that one Joe!

Cool stuff. May sound corny, but I love the C in CASH in the first pic. Just a really awesome C. The rest is great too, but I love the C. I'm such a dork for hand lettering....

Nice!

Yeh, the sign is coming out on final - this is still comped (we have to photograph the laundry bag hi res, etc). Regarding the kerning, they don't call me Kern Boy around here for nothing! I kern everything REAL TIGHT! :)

I think Glass Doctor is nothing at all like my design. I think it has some basic layout problems. The watermarking of their brand icon is really odd. This could have been much more effective if the type was stacked, and icon not watermarked. Optically, there's a hole back left. Now stack the...

I Google image searched Mr Rooter (we must not have them here as I've not too familiar with them) to see what you guys were talking about. I don't care for the branding and execution. In my view, the problem with it is that it really looks like it hasn't been updated since the 50's. The guys...

I think we've chatted on this before. I usually don't like a phone number at all on the sides, and would rather pump up a web addy more. Not sure there's really a right or wrong on this though. I like phone number and web on rear, but not sold on it's relevance as much on sides. As for area...

Jill- What's the Lowen ad?

This was done a bit ago, but I finally had a chance to visit client the client in Rhode Island and take some pics of actual trucks. He's starting a home delivery portion of the business. He has a fleet of trucks, all painted Ferrari red, including some larger old-style panel delivery trucks...

The other side has character flipped, and pointing to the rear as well. I'm usually OK with flipping my icons/characters.

That's why you guys are the pro's when it comes to installs. Last van I was involved in was about 5 years ago, when I discovered I was much better suited to design than install, cause I sucked so bad at it! Here's the stationery set we did for this client so you can see how we tied it all...
