If anyone knows how to easily turn my logo into a less detailed monochrome one for the sign feel free to PM me.

I converted yours into a line drawing and it has some possibilities, but the dog ends up looking like a tribble. There are some automatic ways to do this, like setting a threshold, only tracing around certain colors, or edge detection. These are availalbe in GIMP and photoshop, but to do a good job does take some time. I'm working on these harder ones in my spare time (which has been a little shorter of late).

Thanks! I do have the original 12mb EPS file if that is any help. As I said I am waiting to hear what Josh from BrewBrandCreative says too (he did original work). I understand you are busy, and I am in no big rush as I will be on vacation for a couple weeks soon anyway.

I probably should have had a monochrome one a long time ago, as when I did my pint glasses I got it to 4 colors, and it cost me an arm and a leg.

I didn't even imagine it would look this awesome. I never want to turn it off. I want to move it from the bar to the bedroom every night for mood lighting. Or better yet, just move the bed to the bar.

Great work John!! A little Windex and it cleaned right up. The cuts are very smooth and precise with no weird edges or anything.

Can't wait for the next party or brew day to make all my brewing friends jealous.

Also, it still stands out when the room is full of light, but also looks great unplugged. The wood is finished well nicely as well.

Again, helluva job. If someone was in the fence for some reason, get your @$$ off it and place an order!!!

Cheers,
Aaron

Thanks Aaron for the wonderful review. I clean these before I send them, but as I'm packaging them, invariably they get fingerprints no matter how careful I am. My wife is looking into "packing gloves" for me to wear.

Can I use this photo on our website?

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about fingerprints while packaging. It naturally gets some of the packing on it during shipping and I got fingerprints on it while putting it into the base, so either way it needs to be wiped down real quick.

Yes, absolutely. Most of the bar is a mess, I can take better pictures in the future if needed.

Can't wait to send payment as soon as my logo is approved. That one is very nice!

How much did it cost?

7.5"x11.5" standard size are $67 + $11 shipping (introductory price)
11.5x11.5" super size are $82 + $11 shipping (introductory price)

We were a little worried that the light wouldn't carry accross a full 11.5" height. Its a little less bright up at the very top, but from the "Big nut" picture, it still looks great.

Just wanted to update with a pic of mine. Just got it today, and couldn't be happier! John was great to work with and got mine done and shipped lightening fast!

Ok, can't remember how to post a pic...little help?
