So I just bought some storage units and am working on a new sign to put up. The storage facility is called Outback Storage. I would like some rolling hills over the name but wondering about copyright issues with Outback steakhouse. What are your thoughts with the windmill, sun and rolling hills? Is this too close to some other logo or do you have any suggestions or you think this is fine for a 4'x8' sign on a storage unit building? Looking for any input, thanks!!!

haha ya its a huge windmill....i know the windmill needs to be small and so does the sun but just getting some thought about the overall copyright thing. Thanks for your input!!!!

Did this on a pickup awhile back, its green with the white reflective outline. Its on a white pickup so during the day you barely see the white reflective vinyl but at night it stands out a lot. Good, bad, what do you think???

Awhile back a saw a car with the paisley design someone put on it and looking for that again. I'm sure it was in the show your work section but I have searched and can't find it anywhere. I would appreciate it if anyone knows where that post is!

So for the last 4 years I have exclusively used 651 and 951 but recently had some lettering to do for a insurance office on the inside and ordered some 631, I had nothing but problems with it and ended up using 651. I couldn't do anything to make it stick to the walls. I know it was maybe just a bad first experience with it but maybe I did something wrong with it.....just looking for input on it. Also I have been using RTape until just recently I ordered some greenstar layflat tape and I love it. Its cheaper that RTape and from what I have used it for I don't have any problems with it. What do you use for app tape and whats so good or bad about it???

I was using the R Tape HT-55 with the 631 and the walls had a very minimal texture and I used a tennis ball on everything, maybe was a stain resistant but client insisted wasn't, customers always right haha, ya right!!! I haven't tried the GS clear but so far love the GS paper and don't plan on using anything else for general 651, 751 or 951. Thanks for the input on the GS clear, I will plan to stay away from that, I have R tape clear and it works ok for me. I might have 3 rolls of 631, king blue, red and white, 15" x 10yd rolls all with maybe 2-3 yds used max for sale if somebody would need them.

Here are the first 3 layered things I have done. Also what would you have charged for these, both just making them and install? Both are approx. 48"x8" and this dealership is a normal customer of mine that spends several thousand a year with me.

Other decal

Any help would be appreciated with this. I am trying to install some lettering done in Oracal 631 but having issues with it staying stuck to the wall. The walls were painted 5-6 weeks ago and it is an eggshell paint. Is there something different I need to do to prep it??? Will 651 stick if 631 doesn't?

Does anyone have this tree in a vector??? Thanks in advance!

So when someone that has a shop or out of their house says straight up they will make and sell you a copyright decal do you worry about it??? I asked them about a few including HD, Fox, Monster and a couple others because all the other sign shops around wouldn't because of copyright issues and they said "ya, no problem". Do you care about these guys or not???

I'm looking for this quad, I used to have it but somehow lost it....

I have a customer wanting a tree in a room with it starting on one wall and going into a corner and ending on the other wall. My question is do you cut it in the corner or can you use your squeegee and get it to stick fine in the corner? I will be using 651, it's going to be permanent. Or do you think I should use something different? I would appreciate any advice!!!

ya I found that jpeg of it but i'm looking for the vector. It took a lot of cleaning up and wanted to see if someone had it by chance. rlvied, I do have that one but it might be an option for me, thanks!

yep that was the one. Thanks!!!

Easy name and phone # on a dump trailer today....

Not my sign and not my design but on my office wall now. I would be surprised if anyone here knows what this sign was for......a sort of landmark for central NE for many years. Have you been here and does your wife know??? haha

Haha I like your thinking!

slice&dice you win and even backing it up with a picture haha. I had a bid in for the lighted yellow sign in your picture but when my boss bought the Backlot that sign sold for $15,000, a little outta my budget for it just to hang on my garage wall. All the other places you listed are great places and I frequent the Loft and Playpen a lot lol.

Also where have you found the best place to get the grid wall display racks like that? Local or online???

Looks great and hope you have a great show! I wish my day job would allow me time to do something like this but not yet. On another note, I'm not trying to complain or whine about any of your work but asking everyone reading this, when you do a show will you take decals/logos of any copyrighted things and sell just like the next guy is on the next isle over??? Once again, I'm not complaining about any of your work for anyone reading this but just curious? I'm pretty new to doing any vinyl besides for a company that I work for and just want to start doing more on my own but the copyright thing makes me wonder all the time when someone asks my for something like that.

Here is the cleaned up file of the tool set. Pick Construction Tool Set.EPS

So if a company has closed, gone under, etc is their logo still protected by copyright? Can I legally reproduce their logo for a piece of equipment, boat or so on if they no longer are in business or don't offer that original decal? Any knowledge of this would be appreciated!!!

Here is logo that is going to be used on the front of a business card and the owners pickup. Just wanted a clean and easy logo to read. Any thoughts good or bad???

It will be done in vinyl. I'm hoping since all the rope pieces to be weeded are the same I just get in a rhythm and hopefully it will go fast, its gunna be 18 or 20 inches tall so I can crack open a cool one and go to town lol.
