[olug] Looking for an OLUG banner - can anyone help?

[Jay Swackhamer]

I agree. I try to use local small business's whenever possible, since
I am in the same category.

I had the lettering on my store done by 'Signs by Tomorrow'. They are a
local, family-owned business. They can do the same type banners, and with
the same graphics requirements.

Vector graphics in .EPS format are usually preferred by the companies that
I've talked to, with some taking the scaled .PSD files. You just need to
be sure that your graphics are rendered for the size of banner that you
are creating.

Here's the store that I worked with....
