    Golden Era Studios designs

    Does anyone use any of these sets of sign designs. If so, which particular set
    would you recommend if you had to start with one.

    Thanks,

    Anthony

    Anthony,

    I own both the Americana and the Centennial collections, I purchased them about eighteen months ago.
    Great Stuff, the quality of the artwork is second to none.

    Anyone interested in a bulk buy, if enough people speak up I would be glad to contact them about a discount for SawMill Creek Members.

    I'd be interested. There are elements to all that I like personally.

    Thanks Keith.

    After looking back at their site, they have bundled prices.

    I will give them a call this afternoon and let everyone know if we can get a special price for our Members and I will ask about a bulk buy price.

    Jim I just bought one of the bundled packages and they are installed as a font. On their website there is a free download you can demo to make sure it is compatible with your software. I use Coreldraw and Aspire and they work fine. They can be converted to curves and altered like any other vector graphic.

    Here is the list of file types that are on the Centennial Collection vector files.
    There are also fonts on the disk.

    Note that I high-lighted the eps and cdr file types.

    PC Formats and Applications
    Folder Format Applications
    CE_AI3 Illustrator 3.0 Illustrator 3.0 & Higher / Most other programs
    CE_AI8 Illustrator 8.0 Illustrator 6.0 & Higher / Most other programs
    CE_Corel6 CorelDraw! 6.0 Corel apps 6.0 & Higher
    CE_Eps3 Encap. Post Script Most graphics programs
    CE_GA35 Graphix Advantage Graphics Advantage 3.5 & Higher - Omega
    CE_Omega Omega 2 Omega 2.0 or later


    MAC Formats and Applications
    Folder Format Applications
    CE_3 Illustrator 3.0 Illustrator 3.0 & Higher / Most other apps
    CE_8 Illustrator 8.0 Illustrator 8.0 & Higher / Most other apps
    Mac Users: Files are stored In Adobe Illustrator 3 and also Version 8. Due to the large number of files (over 1100), we broke the files into three folders (1-500, 501-1000, and 1000-1472). Some Mac operating systems cannot display over a certain number of files in a single folder.

    I called and inquired about discounts and the possibility of a bulk buy, I was told that the collections are available with discounts if you purchase multiple collections and there isn't any further price reduction available

    I appreciate you taking your time to try anyway Keith. I do like the designs and hope they
    help me in selling nostalgic type signs.

    Anthony,

    You will enjoy using their vector files. They are modular in that you can take parts from one design and integrate them into another. There are lots of design elements that you can use to build new designs or use to enhance a design you like. The creator of these files took a lot of time and provides true vector art, they aren't bitmaps that have been converted.
