Now that is true innovation! Not new stuff just a smart new way to use old stuff to get a super fast and efficient job done. Yes a large vinyl cutter or inkjet printer could whip these out, but think of the committees, reviews, hands that it would need to get done. Sometimes the right person in the right spot can make a world of difference! So creative with his own typeface to work w.in the constraints of the material as well.

 

I remember someone here recently mentioning that I think it was a British rr that has a fancy new rapid print sign shop but it's crippled due to delivery issues...

 

Hope he gets a bonus!
