Yup Jim no computer graphics back

in the early 70s (at least not us)

I had a terrific scenic artist who

was also a sign painter with all

the best abilities in both fields

Bill Trautwig was responsible for

much of our best scenic artwork

Over the years both Tommy Cooper

and Harvey Copeland also painted

a good portion of our work

3 or 4 of my earlier vans & trucks

were lettered by Roger Boyd who

also had a sign shop in Valdosta

Nowadays Joe Eddie Fairchild has

the talent & equipment to do very

nice computer generated stuff

The Sunshine logos on my curent

van are from him (a good friend)

Gary,
It depends on what years as Roger Boyd did it and then Bob Rawls later on.
And who did it before Roger I will leave that to the experts.
Harry in Texas

If it was in the early years & he

had a Pabst Blue Ribbon in hand

that would have been Tommy Cooper

He always did better before lunch

Later on a really nice fellow that

had trained under Copey (Harvey

Copeland) can't remember his name

I thought Gary was asking about

Venice but you are correct about

DeLand Harry & Joe Galasso did

some show painting before Roger

& they also brought in a local

sign painter from time to time
