CNC Carved Sign

[GC3]

I want to cnc carve this sign for our cabinet shop. The colors of the actual wood sign will probally be different. I just want some feedback on the design.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

The "Y" looks like it is floating in space all alone.

What Mosh said..............looks like it's 2 words and the first word is missing a letter.

That is the name of our corporation here in Mexico ...Plantas y Maderas SA de CV. "plants and woods"

Thanks for the comments. I have a blank ready to go on the machine just want to get some scathing feedback

You mean there are other languages on the planet besides "American"?

I think the sign looks pretty good although I wouldn't stretch "cnc routing services". The colours work for me.
Unless there is some really important reason for it to be there I would also drop the little hanging sign at the bottom.... it looks like an afterthought.

That is Spanish, the "Y" is a word. It means "and".

I wish I was able to explain why, but I can't. Something isn't feeling right to me. I'm sure your concept can be made to work, but I can't put my finger on what it is. It seems over worked? And there is something about the proportions that is making my eyes twitch.

Try moving Plantas even with Maderas. Then in the space between the to words place a small cursive y letting it overlap both words. Make the y a brown like your oval with a tan or white outline.

for me, it just seems that there is a lot going on.... a little to busy.....to much stuff...

just my thoughts......

I think it's the 3 horizontal panels at the bottom, two too many. Plus I don't like designing a hanging panel into a sign they always look like an after thought.

Gene,
If it's anything like your posts over at SB, it'll look great.
Doing it in one pass or using Joe's Dibond inset panel technique for the letters? Would look great with Gold & Abalone touches also.

I actually like a hanging panel and I was thinking about doing that for my first one since I just recently got a CNC as well.

I think the hanging panel can add a nice touch to it, but then again I am weird like that.

Hanging panels tend to beat themselves to death too. If you make it part of the main sign it could be nice. You would have 3 panels at he bottom decending in size. Might be sharp!

BTW... what's "SB"?

 

[Ron Helliar]

SB is the Shopbot cnc forum.

Now that I look at it with fresh eyes, it does look just a bit unbalanced. The bottom panels are carrying too much weight and the main text is too close to the top.

Here's a few tweaks to your design Gene...

Here is the design we have decided on. It will be stained, painted similar to the original concept.

Thanks for looking
