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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
