jeff g 0 Posted December 23, 2007 I had some time today (haven't been called out for work yet) so I decided to play around with the Pcut and some various software that I have and design a nice sticker. I still have some fine details to work out and I don't have the "right" color vinyl yet, but here is the basic sticker in rough draft form. It doesn't work license plate size (I can't weed the small letters) so I made it a 10 inch diameter sticker for the back window of a truck (or a trailer sticker). They'll be giveaways at vintage Japanese bike meets. The "K" will be green, I have to center the Yamaha logo a little better, and I will capitalize the S and F in "2 strokes forever". I may change that text though...I haven't decided yet. The graphic was created using MS Powerpoint 2007 for the lettered ring and I used Inkscape to put the graphics in place and scale it all. Then I used Vector Magic to convert it to a .eps file to import into Signblazer. The whole thing took about 20 minutes to create once I figured out how to create the curved text in Powerpoint. I cut out the whole thing in blue vinyl (doesn't show up very well in the pic) and then took a piece of red and told Signblazer to cut out just the "S" and did the same with the Yamaha logo in black. I peeled the S off and stuck it in place of the blue S and cut and taped the black Yamaha logo in place of the blue one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerry Bonham 1 Posted December 24, 2007 Well Done However i am sure that i would have been even faster if you only used SignBlazer. Jerry from SignBlazer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff g 0 Posted December 24, 2007 I had some time today (haven't been called out for work yet) so I decided to play around with the Pcut Should have kept my mouth shut about that. I got called out, spent 7 hours working in the rain and some idiot almost hit my truck while I was in the bucket 25 feet in the air...He/she ran over my safety cones. I mean, seriously, how do you not see a big white truck with yellow strobe lights, red 4 way flashers, and 3 safety cones behind it. They got all 3 of my cones with their car, missed the truck by less than a foot, and didn't even slow down > Well Done However i am sure that i would have been even faster if you only used SignBlazer. Jerry from SignBlazer. I just looked in Sign Blazer and saw the warp text option. Looks to be a lot easier than Powerpoint. I still have to get a mouse for my laptop though, to make it easier to use. :-[ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry Bonham 1 Posted December 28, 2007 Some drivers are crazy and i am happy that you are OK. For the text in the circle you use Text>text on an arc. Jerry from SignBlazer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bk2design 1 Posted December 28, 2007 Looks good! I can't tell you how many times that I ended up throwing a Stop/Slow paddle at cars to get them to stop in my early days of doing construction... They weren't very happy but when you have a crew of guys to look out for you do what you have too! Especially when you have huge signs, flashing lighs, cones, etc. I was taken to court for damages to their vehicles and each time the judge was on my side. You should have heard him go off on these people!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
