kirkybob Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 makes me almost wish I did engraving, just to get that warm feeling. Good on you Andy for vectoring and the other guys for running, swimming and riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 You could also mention that every logo you engrave, a donation is made to a trade related competitor in the Ironman competition. Then let them know they are free to do the same if they chose Double Bubble, Luvvly Jubbly \:D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I thought it had always been £5 per logo, is your valuable time & skill discounted just because its for bulk Andy? Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Anything less than £5 per logo devalues Andy's skills. He might get peed off and not do them any more. I would gladly pay £55 for 11 logos. £1.8181818 per logo is an insult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I detect an air of distain proporting to the amount I have donated to charity for the work Andy carried out. So, for those that have an issue with it, please read below. I asked Andy to convert some jpeg images to an EPS format for embroidery. Unlike most of you engravers, the work I asked Andy to carry out was for a non profit making excercise. You guy's can pass on the cost of that fee/donation as the cost of the engraved item. Invariably, the customer makes the donation from the profit on the job, not you. The work carried out was completed in 10 minutes, I balanced what I thought was a reasonable fee for a reasonable period of time, against a donation for charity, £20 was my choice for 10 minutes work. That equates to £120 per hour, reasonable surely for Andy's skills whether done in bulk or not? I have made many donations to the Forum and Planets charity and will continue to do so when I see fit and for whatever amount I choose, my choice. If my donation is not rich enough for your services, then decline to do what's asked, your choice If Andy or anyone else has any further issues with this topic, then feel free to PM or call me.

Gray Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Does it really matter if the work was for a non profit making excersise. Fact of the matter is you employed Andys skills and the going rate is £5 per logo to charity. I dare say you won't get anything done again.

keithm Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Had I known the rate was £5 per logo, therefore £55, I would have paid the £25 fee offered by the embroidery company. They would have accepted the jpegs and converted them themselves, I thought the better spend was on Charity I have not and will not discredit anything that Andy has done, he is now a timeserved member of this Forum and offers a great service to all. Obviously, there are certain expectations with regards to his services and we are all much clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 i know i'm fast but 10 mins is a total piss take, i mean really .....60 seconds per logo. The work carried out took 1 hour for the first batch of logo's some were re-drawn by hand some were straight forward then it took a further 45 mins to re-do all the logo's again in colour i don't give a shit any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
