Before/After planning stages

[CentralSigns]

Any church sign with a cross looks good to me. Most just don't want to be associated with a cross up around here. The arrows are a hard one to figure out whats best. What you've done looks pretty good so far.

 

[S'N'S]

Nice one Tiki.

Jill, wouldn't Education Hour 9.50 be before Contemporary 11.00.

Now my gears are turning again!
Thanks for the great suggestions.
Tiki's really has a "churchy" feel.
And I do have some Celtic knots in my PC from an old sign so I can try implementing those too.
Drove past the church again, the windows are definitely different than the ones I was using so I might try another option.

 

[Craig Sjoquist]

oh you can use dark colors on this ..cool yes Tiki and Gypsy G with the Celtic look are really looking nice
but I still like putting the all the right arrows on one side and the misc arrows on other,
the point is when looking at arrows is not to be confused.

 

[Deaton Design]

I really liked the first one you put up Jill, except I would change the preschool font to what the others are, and put the arrows all to the left of the wording.
Tikis looks great also!

 

[Jillbeans]

OK this is the latest attempt.
I have taken suggestions from everyone and tried to combine everything.
How's this one?

 

[Gino]

There are quite a few layouts here which are totally acceptable. [Totally !!/I]

My only observation at this point is.... like with money in columns being correctly lined up, I think the times should also be justified right and not center. Also, why does one have pm and the others don't ?? I prefer uniformity within groups.

 

[Jillbeans]

I added the AM on the first one to try to let people know they are all morning services.
Will make adjustments, I need to get this sent along.
I'll use the others as back ups.

I didn't have time over the weekend to play, but tomorrow I might throw something out there even if they don't want to look at any more options. I'm just doing it for the fun and continuing education. Beats going to a shrink!

 

[GypsyGraphics]

ah very pretty!!! i hope they like it!

i really like that font, what is it?

 

[SignManiac]

Jill yours is very nice! It inspired me to try this variation. Ok so why wait until tomorrow that I can get done today! I'd hate to be the one who has to make the final decision

 

[Craig Sjoquist]

Very nice Jill likes alot #46 post you gave enough space on list with arrows to be readable and less confusing

wow, i think i'm officially a signgal. All I can see is the colossal waste of space that could have information in it. LOL

Wow maniac, that is really nice!

 

[SignManiac]

Thank you John. Coming from you, that means a lot! If anyone has a knack for church signs, it's you!

I'm just curious as to why no one thinks it's an issue not to have that directional list in alphabetical order. I think people intuitively look at lists in that way and I always do them that way.

 

[SignManiac]

To me, designing graphically is more important than designing alphabetically. I see no particular advantage to it.

 

[GB2]

Graphically for the rest of the sign perhaps, but for a directional list I think that needs to be instantly identifiable and an alphabetical order is important for that. Every wayfinding gateway municipal signage I ever did was alphabetical, even all my landscapers laundry lists are alphabetical. I dunno...maybe it's just me.

It's called OCD. You'll be fine. Deep breaths.....
