Golden Era Studios designs

[Anthony Welch]

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

I just ordered 2 of them, Americana and the Centennial collections for making signs.

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.

Nice signs. Hope to be able to use that art someday...Just gotta build a cnc first.

[Kurt Rosenzweig]

Count me in Keith. A group buy sounds great!

[Keith Outten]

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.

What are these files? Bitmap, Vector, or Reliefs? And compatible with what programs?

[Gary Malone]

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.

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.
