DJ Dank Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) Ok so I figure I'd post this here as this will get read more than the other thread in the Services section. I emailed this sign shop thats down the street from me and showed them the logo... They said it no prob. They have intermediate vinyl and high performance. The difference in price is minimal so definitely the latter. But I want to know what size you guys want. Initially I said 12in by 4 in...thats 30.48cm x 10.16cm for you metric Canadians... Is that a good size? And btw, that logo was just given to get an idea of the possibility of them doing it. So of course really its still up for discussion. Throw some ideas or pics up if you want! :secret: Edited July 17, 2005 by DJ Dank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Good follow through DJD !! Personally, I think it is just fine the way you have suggested; clean, simple, and still looks nice. Count me in for a couple. Well done ! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzy Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 thats 30.48cm x 10.16cm for you metric Canadians... *gets out a ruler* hahaha... I find most of us still use inches for stuff like that, much easier... that size sounds good, and like I said, I like the design, nice & simple.

Precise1 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Um, yeah.... Imperial is brittish, Standard is amurrican.... It equals the same in linear distances but differs in other categories.... Trust me, it's my job to know the nuances, and they are lame ! If only we all used metric... It SO makes sense... Just adjust your eyeballs people ! I'm so sick of this Kings foot BS !!!

wheelmanLS1 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 No. Metric is based on the diameter of the Earth, I think. I can understand that metric makes more sense, but you know that nobody will want to learn how to use it (in the USA anyways). Even when I see the benifits, I don't want to learn how to use it.

Precise1 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yes k9sar and yes wheelman. Personally, I dont care what it based on, just that things are done logically from there... Factor 10 is easy to work with because our simple math is based on it; why not use a measurement system that is the same ? The standard (american) units are totally out dated and senseless. Take drill sizes for example. You have fractional, letter and number drills. This is because different industrys refused to cooperate or standardize their measuring units out of spite or initial cost. The result is a drill index that has gaps in it up to .03-.04". As a tool and die maker that has regularly worked in microns or ten thousandths of an inch (and lower) I can tell you that's insane ! Standard metric drills are every .1mm or aproximately .004". There is always a drill size close to what you need and if you need closer, it can be easily ordered. When I had my machine shop I ordered everything in metric... About 20-25 years ago there was a push in the US to go metric; I saw the sense in that when I was 10 !! Big industry (car manufacturers mainly) stopped it by complaining how much it would cost to switch over. Now, any company that wants to be globally competitive uses metric dimensions and fasteners. Duhhh !!! As for the people who complained that it is too hard to learn, WTF ??? You got 10 fingers and toes dont you ? Learning the names of the units is too hard, yet you can recite the Dodgers pitchers stats ?? WTF. It is simple resistance to change... American Standard is lame, problematic and out dated. Metric is far easier, makes more sense, and more cost effective in the long run in several ways. Yeah, it's a bit of a rant, but this is something I have had to deal professionally for 15 years for no good reason. I welcome any arguements; I'll squash them like a bug...

But I was following the threads. Still, my bad !! I'm human aren't I ?? (*asks the GF, no answer*) I'll create a post and transfer posts if necessary. What would you rather have, invisible eye in the sky or someone who dives into the pit and mixes it up ? You (all) decide, and I'll comply...
