How do I access my previously saved design so that I can edit it or buy a duplicate?

Enter your email address and password. Select the design that you would like to load from the list
and click on the 'load design' button. When you are done editing your sign you can save it again.
The Software will automatically create a new saved file to prevent your old design from being over written.
How do I change the information in my profile?
In the final stage of checkout you can click on 'edit profile' to change your address, email, password etc.
Do I own the copyright to the signs that I design?
Yes! Blue Sky Signs will not reuse, sell or display your design without your direct permission. Additionally,
you retain the copyright to any of your own images that you upload. We do store these images in your
account so that you can access your designs at a later date but they are only accessible to you. Keep in mind
though that due to technical limitations we are not at this time able to send you a digital version of your saved
design to keep. Your files must reside on our servers in order to function. You can, however, always save your
design to your BlueSky account so that you can access it later.
How do I save my design so that I can access it later?
When you purchase a sign the design for that sign is automatically saved to your BlueSky account so
that you can access it later. To save a design before buying it simply click on the 'Save' button at
the top of the software. You will be asked to choose a name for your design so that you can identify it
later. After naming your design and clicking 'Save' in the 'Save Design' box you will be asked to sign
in to your account. If you do not have an account with BlueSky simply fill in your address and information
and click 'Create Account'. Your design is only saved once you are logged in or have made a new account.
What are Banner Tabs and why are they better than regular grommets?
We suggest using Banner Tabs instead of grommets because of their superior strength and quality. Banner Tabs
are tough plastic pieces with loops that are installed to the corners and edges of banners. Unlike regular
metal grommets, Banner Tabs will never rust or tear out and are far stronger under load than grommets. Banner
tabs are also clear so they will not obstruct any of your beautiful design! Although Banner Tabs cost us a bit
more, we feel they are the best option, and therefore offer them to you at no extra charge.
I know grommets are not as strong but I like the way they look. Can I get them anyway?
We have found that most of our customers are using their banners either indoors or seasonally outdoors. These
customers don’t need the little bit of extra tear protection that hemming adds to their sign (they would rather
have the savings!). We recommend that customers spend the money on hemming only when they are going to be hanging
their banner year round outdoors or in very high winds. Remember that the strength of a banner is also dependant
on how and where it is hung. See our installation guide for more info.
What types of images can I add to my sign? What size and format is best?
All of the following file formats can be uploaded to the software: .GIF, .JPG, .JPEG, and .PNG. Images
must be smaller than 3000 pixels in both width and height. Pictures from digital cameras with a resolution
greater than three mega pixels should be fine for almost any sign. If you are not sure if your image is
the right size or in the right format please feel free to contact us so that we can help.
