I am opening a sign shop in July. I am just getting all my ducks in a line. This is a sign I made for my shop. Could use some advise, on how it looks. Number is not mine, just a filler. Ok, well the blues did match.. anyway if the blues match, what do you all think...
Thanks,
Susie

Define "Digital Signs"..?


After you do that, ask yourself if the general public is going to know what you mean...

Just Digital? Digital imaging?

somewhere between industrial and circus.

Sorry, a random slashing of various oddball elements and special effects. Keep the fonts, flashes and diamond plate to a minimum and work on the layout.

 

[ocean502]

I'll start over...lol

 

[slappy]

too busy

 

[ocean502]

I'll wait for my layout & color books to come in the mail.. Thanks for your advice!

 

[WhiskeyDreamer]

ditto to flame...too many effects...tone it down, focus on the name, keep it to two to three colors at the most...and use colors that compliment each other

Designing for yourself is the hardest thing. You may have been putting too much into it.

I find it's handy to have a significant other (especially none artistic) to give common sense into it.

Good luck... keep at it and you'll get there

 

[ocean502]

Thanks for the + words... less is more... Ü got it!

Dont like the thin letters, with the big outline...not ez to read at all

Valley Springs Signs

Does this look any better?

 

[ocean502]

I could not bring the last thumbnail up.. Try this...

 

[cdiesel]

This is better, but try to design a logo before designing a sign.

oww my eyes... my eyes. to bright

 

[Shovelhead]

Do you know anything about crafting signs??

 

[Creative_Lance]

No offense but you really need to hang around here a while.
Another thing, the average customer doesn't recognize the rolls of vinyl on the design.

how will you be making the signs in your new sign shop? will you be doing just vinyl lettering? It's looking kind of set up a tent at a fair and sell vinyl letters by the pound. What is your background? Have you worked in a sign shop or just getting into it cold turkey?
