It also infers that those who are not members of FATG are not professional. Not true.

Please guys, I don't want this to become a anti F.A.T.G. thread

Keep those comments for another time.

My aim is to simply to increase the numbers of the public using a professional framer.` :clap:

It's not FATG bashing, but a point to consider, that most members of the forum are not members of the Guild, so it would be pointless in having the notice produced with the Guilds /GCF logos on, you published a list of possible quotes, and we have just pointed out that it would not be a good idea to use that one

Personally I like See it. Like it. Frame it

Thanks Steve
So do I and some others also chose it :clap:

I might add in much smaller typeface...
Use a professional picture framer


Which might then make a sticker that can be used both on car back windows and frame shop windows
Sticker is the wrong word - as no adhesive - they are self cling

I like the idea, anything that gets 'picture framing' into the mind of a potential customer is a good thing if you ask me.

A visual frame image or design around the text could be a good idea, reinforce what the message is about

a couple that just came to mind while reading through the suggestions so far:

Preserve a memory... get it framed!

Everyone's got something that deserves to be framed...


I also like 'See it. Like it. Frame it.'

Keith, I assure you I had no intention of bashing the FATG simply I am not a member :D

I commend your initiative to raise the profile of all framers. Your commitment to the industry is obvious and I for one appreciate your efforts.

I wasn't 'bashing' the FATG either.... I was having a go at the idea of including their logo in a generic car sticker (car self clinger) :shock:

They have arrived :D
Anyone who would like 1, 2 or even 3 :giggle: just send me a stamped addressed envelope and write on the outside how many you would like.

I will start a new post and ask recipients to post a picture or write a few words to show/say where they have put them.
I can only think of a car's back window, and a frame shop window
I just hope they bring a few newbies into your frame shops. :clap:
