A little better, but still way way too much information.

Look at your thumbnail. That is how the sign will appear from a distance. Can you read it? Now imagine trying to read it while driving.

In addition: Once you understand the fact that signs do NOT function the same as any other media (like business cards, brochures etc) you will develop a distaste for the inclusion of too much information in your sign designs. Less is More!

So true and a lesson I continually need to remind myself of. Thanks for the help everyone.

Unfortunately, the customer had to have his pictures. I managed to arrange it so it didn't look like a sports ad, but the 'less is more' was another good reminder.
