Default Revisiting the Signs to be made

I have contacted sign companies with what we came up with. I asked them to give me a bid on a one sided corrugated plastic sign 1ft by 1.5 ft. This could be stuck in the ground on a wire base. This is what I've been getting back:

Thank you for your request.
Quantity of 5 or more - $15.00 each
Quantity of 10 or more - $10.00 each

Production time is 3 - 4 days. We will need camera-ready art (vector format) for production.

I have a few questions. At this price I will make about 5-7. I will provide the wire posts. I can pass them out to those are often out there. The questions are:
1) Did we still want to pursue the band thing for identification?
2) Can anyone do this camera-ready art (vector format)? I do not know if it costs extra but I will find out.

Thumbs up

bryanleighty- Do you mind reposting the last draft of "the" Sign. Also can you do one with East Beach at the top...or better yet a non-site specific one to be used at both spots. Thank you Brother!

Vector based. That's interesting they phrased it that way. They must be anticipating graphics.
I think if it's only words, saving it as a true type font or EPS is all we have to do.
Is that right, Tom?

Seems like we've lost a lot. The wife should be back in town Tues. She has almost every graphics program known to man. Find out what file extension they want and I'll have her convert Bryan's last effort.

Wolfie,

I had a quasi sarcastic post about my debut at the skyway:

http://fksa.org/showthread.php?t=4646

It seems as much talk that goes on here when I showed up at the skyway there was much less action as far as anyone questioning me.

I was also there the other day and a guy made a pass real close to the beach and actually got dragged onto the beach by his kite.

So here is this guy running across the ground trying not to fall as his kite is pulling him and not one person said anything to him about riding that close...

As far as signs go they are pretty much useless in my opinion unless people are going to speak up.

Know quite well what they are doing and continue anyways.

So I think people have given up since obviously we are preaching to the choir

i didnt check forum all weekend..

what about PDF format?
I can save it any format needed .. i used photoshop to create the sign.. can save it as psd, eps, pdf, etc..

give me a call.. ill pm you my phone number..


Bryan

I still think the sign is the LEAST we can do for a start..
Yes.. people need to speak up..
Yes.. minor accidents are a dime a dozen, but when thing are so damn obviously a result of someone doing something very unsafe thats when we need to talk to people.

I guess you were not at LP when Scott told that instructor what he thought about his unsafe practices. Go Scott go! Exactly the kind of enforcing we need in that situation.
