Vols Memorabilia/"I will give my all.." sign

First pic is the sign from Al Hammond. Second sign is from Slap Signs. Both signs are of great solid quality so there's no fear of accidentally dropping one and having it break. The one from Al Hammond has a white edge (not visible in the pic) and kudos to Mr. Hammond for underlining "all'. I'm not a geometry major, but the Al Hammond one appears to be more accurate to what our wonderful state of Tennessee looks like although I don't think the little blip in the top left corner is that prominent. The one from Slap Signs is a little bit thicker and a tad bit larger. Slap Signs decided to do everything in orange minus the lettering and the "all" is not underlined. I don't rate one over the other. They're both worth the money and you can't go wrong with either. Great job to both!

OK, OK. . . .Here's my technique.

I designed the sign on MS Publisher. The font is actually Times New Roman, bold and italicised, adjusted in size and spacing to match the "real deal." Without dimensions of the sign in Neyland, I estimated using pictures that included football players' hands in close proximity. Background color is Pantone Orange 151.

I then had the text box sign printed on gloss sign material at Kinkos and mounted on foam core. Here's where it gets a little tricky: I hand trimmed the sides and top using an Exacto blade, which sounds harder than it really was. You can scetch the shape using a felt-tipped pen, then trim just inside, making use of a straight-edged ruler or T-square for the long pass at the top.

I mounted it with little circular "eye" tabs and tiny nails, resting the bottom on my door frame for stability. Finally, two parts ice, one part Jack Daniels for the introductory smack on the way downstairs, and prepare for some "oooohing" and "aaahing" when your friends first witness your creation.

Here's the finished product, as well as the one at Neyland. If you like it, I might be convinced to shoot you my Publisher file. . . .

I know this post is really old, but if you still have the Publisher file, I would love to get it from you.
