Yes... Cost WAY TOO much to do 4 feet and bigger... material
is crazy!
The tallest is this one it 37" after that they have to go to bigger material size.
So we stick with these.... and any more.... people freak
on people trying to pass stuff off as original... so we use heavy aluminum (won't rust), go slightly smaller in size,
and emboss differnet than an original.
I don't draw much anymore so this is my medium...
I enjoy it... I want to do more and maybe get into
decals... just don't know what is needed. I've helped a few out here on this site and it's nice knowing I can help some way to bring a piece back. Love this stuff!

it's self framed like the old ones were... I think the last
few we've done have been the best.
Call my brother 1.866.910.3000
Repros are ok if they're done right and made well.
You can hang these up and if you kid scratches it
doesn't hurt as bad as if it was a NOS original.:)

Man I like these, I have a birthday coming up. Maybe a little hint with the phone number would be a good idea. I dont care if they are repop's as long as they are good quality and look good. Just going to hang them on the wall...Eric you are a true artist.

Great Stuff Man... and I think you know my stand on Repops as well, this is why I love the fact that you purposely resize them and add some other embossing other than the original... simply great looking stuff and who what a talent! Awesome... I may just have to break down and get one of these... are the other all sold out now?

I'm OK with repos., as long as one does not try and sell them off as vintage originials. I have seen people try and do that 
. Eric-nice signs, you can tell you have put a lot of hard work in them. They look great!

I know Eric does great work when it comes to design and layout, etc. now we just need to find someone who can do full color printing on vinyl or cheap as most of the stuff we need is in small quantity. Or If anyone wants to float me the 5k for a vinyl Printer/cutter, I'd be glad to print them off.
I'm sure we can come up with something if we put our collective head together. as far as one color vinyl stuff or even two colored (layer) stuff. I can get that done for you.

Ken
That tall tacker sign is $38 also... this latest and that one is about all we have left...
The tall tacker we only have a couple boxes left of...
Here are two I'm thinking of doing next...
We had already done a fountain service and it went fast... I like this fountain sign... but we'd have to emboss
it to give it a little more character as the originals are
flat porcelain.

I think the "Take Home" with the sixpack would be great! Also the signs with the people on them would be cool. there are a couple versions. One is just with the gal, and there is another with a guy and gal on it...
NOW GET TO WORK!!!!!

Hmmm.. would need a original with people on it to scan...
That would be cool.... Talked with Coke about the one with 2 people
...they sent me a small scanned image from what looks like a book... no original art in their archeives
....
Also does anyone have or can take a close up of the 6 pack if they
have one in their collection....

Eric, do you pay royalties to Coca Cola for using their trademarks?
Title: Our Latest Sign
Post by: Eric on February 09, 2007, 04:29:22 pm
Yes we pay Coke and the company we're licensed through...
It's just me and my brother that does this.
All the art I do is sent to Coke for the ok.... then have them made...
then samples are sent again to make sure they're ok.
Believe me... it's fun seeing your work made and seeing these
brought back the best that I can do... But it is just a hobby...
I won't be quiting my job anytime soon. A lot of work...
But it's spending money.... And I'm saving for a Quikold

Well I just hung two of the three signs I bought. Eric I bet you never thought your signs would be hanging in an apartment in Thailand. They really look great. I ended up hanging them with double sided tape. All of my walls are concrete so I didn't want to drill a ton of holes in the walls. The Tv is also a rather new toy. They are really cheep here in Thailand. I used the money I made when I sold my truck. Not a bad trade.

I expect that I will be here for about 5 or 6 years. The company is really taking off. We have already spread from Singapore into Thailand and Malaysia and now we are talking about opening an office in India and Hong Kong. When you finish more signs you have to let me know. I will be home in July so I will order more.
