I just finished this sign design today. The layout is a little busy but I am kind of happy with how it turned out. This would be a fun sign to make. [Smile]

Beautiful!
How many hours do you spend on a design like that?

Thanks Kelly and Stevo. I probably spent around 8 hours on this design. Some go faster than others.

Charles, your mind thinks signs and layouts in a very inspirational way. Thanks for posting them.

I've yet to be able to imagine something so terrific.

Very very nice.

It's perfect, wouldn't change a thing.
Love the pictorial.
I was just looking at our Farm Show logo in the paper this morning.
It has Brush Script in it.
I think I am gonna tell them to give you a call!
Love....Jill

Beautiful...great design...if you think it's too busy perhaps you could eliminate the small shapes between the letters created by the outlining...if I blur my eyes so as to put them out of focus I believe the design may even become stronger...love it.

Whenever I feel a little burned out all I need to do is look at some of Charles' work and I'm all charged up again.

Nicely done, Charles!

Charles, you don't know the word 'ugly' do you? Your stuff is always so clean, and fun and outstanding. I am consistently a fan of your work!

I am a fan of your work also. [Smile]

Can I say 'Just Right', except that sounds cliche-ed - it's very good, Charles!

Thanks Ian!!!

Slick work Charles!I think I'll pick up Shocard Rodeo for the next job I can use it on.
 
Posted by Charles Borges de Oliveir (Member # 3770) on :
 
Thanks Darcy! Very much appreciated! I hope you like it.
 
Posted by John Deaton (Member # 925) on :
 
What an outstanding design Charles. You rank very high in my book as a designer. You need to put out a book on font and logo design.
 
Posted by Glenn Taylor (Member # 162) on :
 
I second that.
 
Posted by Charles Borges de Oliveir (Member # 3770) on :
 
Thanks John and Glenn very much. I plan on making a book someday on lettering brush casual and script with the pointed brush. I am 38 now so I figure when I am 50 I will write it. I should have enough experience by then. I still have a lot of practicing to do.

Have a great one!
 
Posted by Glenn Taylor (Member # 162) on :
 
Yeah, but I'll an old man by then.
