Gypsy - We just say, if you pay us several thousand dollars for your web site, brochure, stationery- whatever - we also will burn a CD with all the files we used to execute your job. We just consider that to be the right thing to do, and they are free to go elsewhere for reprints, or go to...

My lawyer sent out three cease and desist letters this week to the owners of some other sign companies, and start-up dot com's that stole our artwork. The C&D was also sent to the hosting companies as well, which bear responsibility for showing copyright-infringed artwork on their servers. I...

I didn't rate myself earlier - but I'd say I'm a six. Still looooooong way to go....

First, I'm been humbled to have been mentioned in this thread. Rick is right, I made the decision to change the focus and direction of the business. That decision, roughly, coincided with the birth of my twins, and a wife who wasn't working. All the sudden - the whole 'As long as I'm lettering...

Looks great.... can't imagine how hard that install was - kudos! Is that Avant Garde for the web addy? Quick! Where's Doug from iSigns! He loves that font!

Steve has great stuff!

Get paid the proper amount up front for your design work. State in your contracts the industry standard programs you use, and if the client needs to them converted to other formats, state the fee in order to accomplish that. We ALWAYS relinquish rights to ALL art we create and provide native...

Pretty good Joe. You should do this professionally. :) Killer pal....

Cmon, support the cause dude. Lori's my wife :)

They are only available to purchase through SignDna.com as far as I know. I only sell my books on my site.

I have to fly out to the west coast to San Diego the second week of February - I'm meeting with two large clients there, and also have meetings with 3 other sign companies who's site's we're designing. Coincidentally, one of the sign companies mentioned to me about the sign show here, and more...

It's all about keeping your name in front of people in a way thats educational and useful to the 'fans', as well as promoting your best work and services. Out of sight - out of mind. Just have to mindful about being annoying, or not posting things relevant. I'm a fan too, of your new page :)

Also - if you want some other resources, you can download about 40 or so of my design-related articles here: http://graphicd-signs.com/html/articles.htm

True. I recently banged out a quick logo for a friend. Took me about two hours or so for this quickie, but my friend said 'Wow, you did that in two hours?' To which I replied - "Yeh it only took me two hours and 15 years!" I liked that quote so much I used it our facebook fan page. As...

The client was happy, so what's the problem?

Joe's is definitely cool. I might have slightly scaled the icon in proportion to the lettering so the lettering was perhaps the more dominant of the two design elements, but that's probably more of my personal opinion. And instead of having depth on signs, I might just make it flat, reversed...

Thanks for the info on personal FB pages Dan. You probably don't want to use your business setup as a personal page. FB eventually catches on to that, and plus it makes it so people have to 'friend' you instead of 'fan' you -

Welcome. Congrats on going after what you believe in. Sounds like you are taking the right steps to build a better life, rather than laying down, and giving up, or worse, settling. You might be interested in downloading some of my articles in SC also, as they may also give you some insight on...

On the bottom left of our site we feed our twitter and FB fan pages. You can get the code to insert into your HTML from Facebook on your fan page (to the best of my knowledge, you can't feed a personal page - but I could be wrong).

Page rank and Alexa rankings are fine, but what are you ranking for the terms you want to drive traffic back to your site with?
