Just when I thought I'd seen it all...

Was driving back from the hardware store this morning and saw a small black pickup with a TON of lettering...all on the back and side windows...

"SUPER TACKY GRAPHICS"

I weep for the future.

I like my paint shaken, not stirred.

How about a sewing shope names "Sew it Seams" or a tire shop called Dunn-Wright tires?

We could fill up a few pages, Dana.

I'm seeing a good number of channel letters lately that have the "short-cut" method, where they make them out of regular acrylic, then put on translucent vinyl for the color, instead of using colored acrylic. They are all bleached out from the sunlight. Same for lighted faces.

We've got a 'sign guy' here, who insists on using all these stupid decorative fonts. He may be an "artist"...I don't know. But you've seen the font, where it's made up of silhouettes of people holding hands? He did his own business sign with that one. The letters are only about 4 inches high, and you can't read it from more than 10 feet away. I love it! In fact, I told him how nice it looked [Rolling On The Floor]

I've gotta get back to work...I'm trying to figure out how to make a lighted sign can out of luan panelling, and plastic shrink film. Hey....it could work.....

I was out near Reynoldsville, PA, (or maybe Falls Creek?) yesterday and saw a sign company:
"Avery Vinyl Graphics"
Even my friend knows what that is and asked "Isn't that the stuff that falls off?"
Love....Jill
