Looks like the font Goodyear uses, can't recall the name of it offhand but it looks like the same font.

Easiest would be a gaussian blur or vignette filter. Don't know if that's the effect you are looking for or not.

I had a thread a few days ago about non LED gas pricing signs. A few of you had ideas of what I was describing, but basically it is rotating numbers in a cabinet with clear plex protecting the numbers. They are on a canopy about 30 feet in the air. I talked to a lady at our local Wal Mart...

Hope your English is better than your marketing skills. You do know you may have to email clients proposals, etc. right? I'd brush up on my punctuation while I was at it. I'm in Georgia, I would be glad to do your wrap installs, we can figure out the trip charges later.

What's a "Tener"? Not crazy about upside down lettering and most of what they do is covered up. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

I use a guy that does these up and down the interstate. I order the prints with a pole pocket figured in, he uses conduit and ratchets, he buys them by the case. He did a 12' x 40' job for me in about 90 minutes by himself (he was able to work off extension and step ladders). That thing was...

I'm not crazy about a font that has the letter "I" with the top and bottom bars. To me it looks wrong and amateurish. I would either get a bolder font and tweak the kerning or just do two separate layouts, one for each side. If you do it right (which means don't bring it up when they come...

Let me guess, they also insisted on 6" x 6" posts probably 4' in the ground, specified the size bolt and washer and nut size to be used and how many. Also they sent you a design for the sign, using a Helvetica font and told you everything from the size of the lettering to also how much space...

Best words of wisdom I heard about 15 years ago..... Live in a rural area, 10 miles from the nearest neighbor the USPS has to deliver your mail free of charge. Live close to the Post Office, drive your vehicle and use your gas and your time to get your mail and you have to pay for a PO...

I nearly spit out my RC cola and moon pie when I read that! That's the hardest I've laughed in a while. Thanks ya'll. "Ya'll see that new show on tv last night?" "No, jew?"

I think I'll just sit in the parking lot around 7 in the morning and look and see how the employees do the price change!!!! Around here they're going up and down sometimes twice in a single day. Saw somewhere on line to be ready for $4.15 gallon gas by summer.

Thanks for the responses on the gas pricing sign. How would you design a rotating mechanical numbering system? Seems like to get 0 - 9 in a rotating system would take up tons of room in a cabinet. (But what do I know?) I'll try to get some close up pics tomorrow. Thanks again.

In my shop we used to do our own blasting on redwood, at that time we had to rent a compressor, buy our sand, etc. It was a nasty, grimy job. I crunched the numbers and found vendors that could do it cheaper than me doing it myself, they will even do a completed painted sign, you don't have...

I know all about the Gemini stuff, but what throws me is the clear plastic covering the pricing numbers. From the ground it doesn't look like that is on any kind of tracking. I may have to get a gallon of gas and look up the whole time I'm pumping. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Anyone have a source for gas pricing signs with the changeable numbers, they cannot be LED, that would be in violation of our city sign code (don't even get me started on that) We have a Wal Mart that sells gas and their pricing sign is attached to their canopy, must be 24" plastic numbers on...

My system has a font called "Beer Bust" a true type font that is close, but not an exact match. Don't know where I found the font or when I installed it though.

Not as many vendors selling brushes as there used to be. I used to order from these guys about 15 years ago, they sell flats, quills and fitches. Just depends on how much you want to spend. Keep them in transmission fluid or non detergent oil, just clean and spin dry before use, they'll...

I have done these before. Do your 4x4 posts as usual. I get 2" x 2" x 8' treated pieces and screw them to the posts (after cutting down to 4' of course). Screw your 10mm to these side pieces. Just to be on the safe side get another 2" x 2" and run horizontally the full length across top and...

This might have been missed since it was posted over the weekend, thought I 'd renew it. Let me know what you guys think.

Since we had a posting yesterday about guitarists I want you guys to watch this. He's Rick Renstrom. (I won't tell you what makes him special, you'll have to watch the video.) Plays neoclassical stuff, now if that doesn't make you want to throw your guitfiddle in the creek I don't know what...
