Thank you all for your suggestions. Here are some of the revisions you all recommended. I changed the bouquet to one with more colors. I also think the "lean" of the bouquet helps draw the eye to the "logo" (I use that term loosely) which I moved to the back door window. Do you think it will...

I would like your input on a wrap design I'm working on. Here's an overview. Client: Local florist been in business since '72. No logo but has the tag line: "Show your love with a blossom" on his ads (yellow pages, etc) Vehicle: Brand new Ford Transit Connect Artwork: For flowers...

No problem. I didn't get in on this one but I like the idea of doing these "challenges". It is really nice to see how one idea (i.e. information from a customer) can get taken in so many different directions. Whether good or bad, you can learn something from each entry. With 27 entries, I...

Gotcha. I didn't follow the original post long enough. For anyone who missed it so the below link. The "design challenge" began near the bottom of Page 1. Original Design Challenge Thread Allen

Thanks for sharing and very interesting. Is there any way to identify the designer, what software was used, and approximate amount of time on the design? Thanks again maniac. Allen

When I did video design/editing, I watched and studied commercials, movies, TV shows, and all other types of video to try to better my craft. Now that do graphic design I look at menus, magazines, magazine ads, and everything I can, especially from national brands to get ideas and better my...

Thanks for the replies. I probably should've worded my original post differently to say something like: since vectors are scalable and size is irrelevant, what size do you start with when you designing a vector logo. I was just curious. Allen

I knew it didn't matter with a vector (didn't realize about the filesize) but I figured when designing a vector logo, you start with a size (i.e. artboard size in Illustrator). I've been on S101 enough to know that most everyone has a preference or method of doing things. I guess since size...

I tried searching but didn't find any information. Tonight I traced a logo (from JPEG) in Illustrator. This logo is for vehicle graphics so it will probably end up being printed pretty large. That made me wonder, is there a good, standard size for a vector logo? I know enlarging a vector is...

I recently worked on some business cards and a brochure for a local contracting company. They had no logo, no mission statement....nothing. As I was looking over their information and playing around with the company name, I realized the acronym of their name is: S.U.C. Needless to say, I...

Andy McKee is an amazing talent. Check out his version of Toto's "Africa". You should also search YouTube or just Google, Doyle Dykes. He's a well-known finger picker and Chet Atkins once labeled him the best finger picker of all-time. I used to work at a music retail store where he did...

I got it. Thanks. It's been a long day and I was forgetting to switch to the Direct Selection Tool before clicking "Add to Shape Area." No matter what I do, I still get the previously mentioned error when trying Fred's suggestion (outline, select w/ direct selection, click merge). Thanks...

Thanks for the replies but I can't get any of these to work. I converted to outlines, selected the text (all of the text & tried regular selection and direct selection), tried merge and got an error (see pic below). I tried Rick's suggestion and everything looks the same. At work I was using...

Sorry for the elementary question but I spend more time in Photoshop than Illustrator. I'm trying to print/cut a race car driver's name to go above the windows, on top of the car. They requested it look like they're last car (I didn't do the graphics) hence the Brush Script for the font. I'm...

The second logo is a nice design but it looks more like Dippin' Dots meets Gigi's Cupcakes. Allen

Great job on the cakes. I'm a huge, lifelong Cardinals fan so anything that is recognizable as St. Louis Cardinals will get my vote. Allen

It looks like Calibri, a font that comes with Microsoft Office 2007.

I'm pretty sure any company will make you a dealer, or at least give you great deals, if you order huge quantities of their product. Call 3M and tell them you want to purchase $25,000 per month of IJ180C-v3, plus other items and I'll bet you can be a dealer. I've been told that I can get...

I completely understand "Buy American" but please instruct us on how you strictly buy American (USA). Let's say you buy Grimco's Key Banner material. Grimco is a USA company but that banner material wasn't any more made in the USA than any of the clothing your wearing. Do you think that yard...

Wayne, I decided to put your pic in Photoshop and mess around some. It's late and I could only do so much with the clone tool, so it looks rough but it's just some ideas. I agree with CPTCorn in that there are a lot of focal points. I think it might help to tone the flag down a tad. Maybe...
