Guest Terry Posted January 12, 2008 I would agree with KNEAL, maybe bring the think green over a bit more centered? But looks great I like it... Nice and simple the way it belongs, you don't want to read much for that type of logo, gets right to the point. Nice job. :well done: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twice 0 Posted January 13, 2008 e-waste collection site?? whats that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmallSigns 23 Posted January 13, 2008 e-waste collection site?? whats that? E-waste is electronic waste -- old TV's, computers, phones -- all that electronic stuff that people are throwing into our landfills that doesn't belong there. All of these items contain chemicals that poison our water and soil. In reality this is just a marketing gimmick for our storage facility to get our name out there and get some free publicity in the paper. It's also a great tax wright off. On top of all that it helps our environment. :xmas tree: :xmas tree: :xmas tree: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmallSigns 23 Posted January 13, 2008 if ya ever get any old hard drives. Ill take them off your hands. I just got rid of a bunch of hard drives -- I have flash drives that are larger then the ones I got rid of!! Heck I got programs larger then the drives I got rid of!!! I still have my very first 1Gb drive! got it out of an old IBM server back in like 89 -- damn thing still works -- and it's been dropped more times then I can count!!

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted January 14, 2008 I keep a bunch of older Hard Dives around for one purpose. If one of my windows machines chrashes and I can't do a repair, I stick in an old drive and install XP onto it, install the drive that crashed as a slave, so I can continue using the old drive and access all of my stuff. In theory,it is better to have the operating system on a separate drive or partition anyway. I haven't lost a single bit of music,video,etc since I started doing this. If you only have one computer this can save you ass. BTW, XP will install on a 2gb HD in a pinch, if you don't install a lot of crap along with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmallSigns 23 Posted January 15, 2008 Well, I felt really stupid yesterday. I was working on this banner -- worked out all the measurements and it all looked great - on paper. Started cutting (using sample vinyl ) everything was working great -- till I started laying it out on the banner. That's when I discovered that my original design was based on 36" x 120" not the 144" it should have been *!&*#@!!!! :bang: Good thing it was free vinyl :clap: I guess tomorrow I will start cutting again with the correct sizes! This time I will be using vinyl I actually had to PAY for - better make sure I do it right this time ;-) All in all I had fun, even though I did screw it up.

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted January 16, 2008 I've never done that but have realized after cutting that the actual banner was a few inches short.Say 34",not 36". Which brings to mind this..when buying banners, a LOT of suppliers will say 36 inch but it actually finishes 34". My supplier gives me the correct measurements but a lot don't because they cut a 3 foot banner from 3 foot stock and the hem takes 2 inches. So read the fine print.

SmallSigns 23 Posted January 16, 2008 Caught that part -- just screwed up the length in design. :bang: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
