Banners and Business Cards in living color

"The craving for colour is a natural necessity just as for water and fire. Colour is a raw material indispensable to life. At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures." -- Frenand Leger

While working with vinyl is fun and filled with endless possibilities, the introduction of full color digital printing has opened up a whole new world of creativity.
Not to mention that working in full color is also a ton of fun.

Banners. Everybody needs em. We make em.
We make em bright and colorful and surprisingly affordable.
Like this one:
Trust me, our banners are absolutely gorgeous. The one pictured above is for an outdoor tent/booth, so it's 3 x 9 feet.

Now... to go along with the gorgeous banners that everyone needs, we offer business cards too.
Colorful business cards that match your banner or sign. They're not too spendy either.

Printed front and back with all of your pertinent information.

So when you're planning the advertising for your business... you know where to go. We specialize in banners for outdoor display booths as well as school, sports teams and business.
So give us a call, drop me an email, or "tweet" me and we'll create something dazzling for you.

*Confession: the designs you are looking at are created by MSGelter who also works here with me. He's very talented, but don't tell him I said so. He never reads this blog so he'll never know I said this.

Banners, Logos, Design and all that other stuff

Many of my online customers assume that I am cutting these cute little vinyl letter sticker thingys from the discomfort of my diningroom table.

Au contrair! (that's slaughtered French for "Nope!")

I've been in the sign making industry for many years and have owned and operated my shop here in Tremonton for going on 10 years now.
It's a full time labor of love. No kitchen or dining room tables were injured or abused during the production of your sign. During certain times of the year, full time means every waking minute.

I'm very blessed to be able to make my living doing what I do. Most of the time I LOVE what I do for a living, and the times that I don't? Well I remember that I could be sweeping floors or flipping burgers. (Not that there's anything wrong with that; I've done both and much prefer what I'm doing now, thank you very much)

While designing and producing vinyl letters for folks to decorate their homes with is very satisfying and mostly a ton o fun, it's just a portion of what happens here at Hathaway Signs and Designs.

Logo design, business cards, banners, brochures, vehicle lettering and graphics, commercial signage... all the stuff you need to promote yourself and your business happens here every day as well.

In the next few days I'll be posting some samples of the awesome stuff we've been doing and you'll see why everybody walks in to my shop and wishes they had MY job.

They don't realize it's such a lot of work being Queen of the Universe.

Dear Lord

Don't you sometimes wonder how people get themselves into the situations they get themselves into? Of course you do.
And don't you wonder how some people have managed to live as long as they have, doing the insane things they do? Uh huh.

And don't you often wonder how you're going to make it through the day without saying something that you really really REALLY shouldn't say to the people mentioned above?
Yep.

This one's for you.

Dreams, Love and Blessings

The weekend was sunny and bright and joyful and all the things I love about spring. It's a tad winterish again today, but I can deal with it because I know the sunny days will soon outnumber the gray days and then I'll be relishing the coolness of an overcast sky. That's right... long for something until you get it, then long for what you had. Ain't that the way?

Along with the springtime comes the inevitable need to clean and shine and do all that stuff commonly referred to as nesting.
I haven't quite gotten caught up in that frenzy yet, but I know it's coming. Yesterday I looked out the window into the back yard and I can now see all the socks, empty cottage cheese cartons, my missing slipper, and other weird stuff that the dog has toted outside and was covered by snow. (I keep her because she is entertaining.)

I even thought about pulling all the pans out of the bottom cupboards in the kitchen and giving the shelves a good swipe. Thank God I thought of something else before I started on that. It's still on the list though. Right below cleaning out the fridge.

Nesting... making your home all cozy and warm and a happy place to be. (That's my semi clever tie-in for the quote I'm about to upload.)

Just a brief funny...

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Pay it forward

"Just pay it forward. Three big favors for three other people. That's it."

That's a line from the movie "Pay it Forward" which I loved but can't watch again because I know how it ends.

I saw this on someone else's blog and loved the idea, so I'm gonna try it here:

The next three people who comment here will receive - instead of a big favor - something special from me. In turn, each of them must send something nice to three other people... and so on, and so on.

Don't be shy! Leave me a comment and email me your address (find my email address on my profile) and I'll send you something from my vast supply of somethings.

More fun with fonts

Another fun find for you today. Wordle.net is a word cloud generator that will produce a graphic for you like the ones above and below that I called f-words. Go there, type in a bunch of words and it will make 'em purty for ya. Just keep clicking the randomize button at the bottom, or change the font and arrangement until you have something that makes you happy.
Very fun little site!
