Thanks for asking Gino. I am hoping/planning to do this myself (fingers crossed the "tuition fee" aka. screw up factor isn't too high) as I'd really like to add this type of sign to my skill set. I read several tutorials online and the whole process sounds relatively simple, but then it always...

More Revisions Wow, lot's of interesting discussion happened while I was gone. Finally heard back from my client and she's going with the oval design, so I'm looking for some more feedback, please. Sign is going to be sandblasted cedar. My first sign of this type, so any pointers on this...

Hopefully you're not all fed up with me yet :rolleyes: I'm so grateful for your time and advice. I want to show her two options to choose from, so trying to get the rectangle/tree one looking better now, but it's feeling more like a biz card than a sign and I don't know how to fix that. Any advice?

Sorry 'bout that. Is this better? I almost just want to leave her name off, but highly doubt that'll fly. Or should I just lay out the name, phone # and appt. bit like Jillbeans (but that feels like stealing?)

Another try on the oval. (I know you advised against it but I really like the shape, and it works really nicely the way Jillbeans did so I'm trying to follow her example) Is the curved text on the bottom still a bad idea? (I swiped the "massage" to get the font in there for now and will buy it...

Nope, I'm fairly clueless (sorry) I thought it had to do with symmetry. But then again I totally haven't been paying attention to that at all on the oval one. I'm here to learn, and trying to do it as quickly as possible, so thanks for any and all tips

More tweaking, how are these? (keeping the phone # off as Gino advised, but I'm afraid she'll take issue with that) Any advise how to make the "appointment only" bit look better on the oval one? Without the flourishes I feel like it's just floating randomly but I'm not sure how to fix that...

Tried fixing up the oval one. Am I on the right track?

Thanks for sharing. I didn't even think of the A-frame option. Will chat with her about that too.

Mutant seal ?!?!?! thanks for the laugh Bob :) I must be really missing an important concept, was thinking people buy because of how something makes them feel and the sign should at least hint at that feeling. Thanks to you and Gino I'm learning a lot today. You are absolutely correct, I'm...

Is this any better? Can the tree idea work as a faint background like this or is it still too busy?

Point taken, thanks again. Am I wrong in thinking that the point of advertising is to create a feeling? That's how I understand it so for massage therapy I'm looking for a font that feels relaxing and professional which to me is a bolder scripty/elegant font, paired with a simple, super easy to...

Exactly what I was expecting to hear, thanks Gino for taking the time to spell it out. What fonts would you reccomend?

Forgot to add, she wants it ~ 1.5' x 2' as it will be hanging from the cedar trellis work above their garage door

Here's a few versions of a sign for an RMT who works out of her house and wants to be sure her clients know they're at the right home. She is in a busy neighborhood, so I figured it is worth having her phone # so potential clients have a way of contacting her. My preference would be to do the...

I'm a nearly total newbie (been stumbling around for a few months) from Chilliwack, British Columbia. I'm sure you'll all laugh at my choice of equipment (a 24" BlackCat Cougar) but it was only supposed to be a toy. Long story short I was just gonna cut some vinyl letters for my husband's work...
