4.) Logo Design for Small Business 2, by Dan Antonelli!
Perhaps no business relies so heavily on its logo to create an effective image as a small or micro business. And there are millions of them, like contractors, florists and coffee shops. In this second book, Dan Antonelli explores the thinking behind over 175 logo designs for such businesses, helping you improve your design skills and reducing the time you spend on them. You’ll see why the corporate logo design approach may not be the best approach for a small business, when to use a horizontal or vertical format, how to educate your clients about the power of their logo and more.

Rene Giroux of Perfexion Signs from Gatineau, QC ----------------------------- 6.) Alphabets of Atkinson Volume #1 by The Fontry!
One dozen of the finest examples of Art Nouveau lettering anywhere! The Alphabets of Atkinson, Volume One, represents the best-of-the-best by sign-industry legend Frank H. Atkinson. His book, Sign Painting was published almost 100 years ago and has become the artistic standard for generations of signpainters and computer-aided signmakers.
The dozen Alphabets of Atkinson cover the gamut of historical styles, from ornate tuscans to flowing scripts, all of which expertly complement a secondary range of Atkinson's less-elaborate workhorse styles that are still classics in their own right. There's something here for every signmaker, from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
All 12 alphabets have complete character ranges and are published on CD. Thanks to Mike Atkins at The Fontry for supplying this prize. Check out his entire font collection at

Woo-Hoo, two freinds of mine win in the same night, right here in East TN. I guess (KNOW) that Karen is really busy over there at the theme park, but I've got to say: She's a really nice person, and great to work with.

Thanks Barb & Steve and Thanks to Hartco and Dan Hanson. Dan, do you have a tap on my shop phone? I was just discussing the need for some prefab signblanks for an upcoming project! Good mojo going on there - I'll be calling. As you can tell by the delayed response time, I've been so busy, Jake had to email me to tell me I won something! Jim - your compliment humbles me as I value not only your friendship, but your superb sign skills... Jake - you on the other hand, know me too well so I won't even go there, but that's a great idea for use of the signblank. Will you have time to do it for me???? k
