suggestions for Lot sign layout, sort of...

Hi. The developers are a client I've worked with quite a bit. I work primarily with the marketing gal and she talked them into a low budget revamp of the development to help sell some more homes. (Yay for me!)

This is the lot sign I sold them on as a general idea. Each model will have a different rendering on the sign out front when they start building. I plan to figure out how to do the cool faded or swish-y edges (yes, those are the technical terms) on the rendering, so it's not a box. I've hacked up the logo for anonymity but wanted you to have the general shape for the cut out at the top. I tried an oval but the fit wasn't right. Neither of us is crazy about her line at the bottom... I tried "Custom Homes Designed by YOU!" but we weren't feelin' it.

They want it simple, which I've certainly given them LOL but I'm looking for a little cheap "punch" out of a one dimensional, digital print sign. Any suggestions?

 

I'll certainly take 'em LOL I'll take any suggestions... I know the restrictions make it difficult to be imaginative. But your consideration is appreciated

 

i like that, maniac (not surprising). no need to do the fancy footwork on the edge of the rendering... and i always like a reversed box.... nice. I'm gonna work on this and i know what you mean Chris but they are actually doing the install to save money and getting their own posts and lattice. when done right it does look a notch above a standard sign

 

since the lattice work's upsetting everyone LOL I went with pale mustard instead of grey because that's their color scheme. Better?

 

@ Gino... you're right. That was my fear in the beginning when I mentioned about working on the edges but RJ has a great solution.

really, really like this! the sign was actually 2' x 3' (not big) so i think the single post will be less cumbersome and as you say, save the client money. i was looking for something different and this fits the bill... colors are wrong, so I'll get to work on it.

Thanks for all the input!

 

a few variations on RJ's fab design...

I'm trying to incorporate the white because I know they will be using white posts. Also, they won't want their logo reversed. Let me know if you think any of these is a winner. :U Rock:

 

Thanks for the tagline help, Gino! That was a big concern for me from the OP but no one jumped on it. the fear of the buyer wondering that very thing made me scrap my tagline right away too. more input on the tagline would be welcome.

I love your asymmetrical idea. Not sure I can pull it off with this job. I'm already pushing it with these vanilla-right angle clients as it is LOL
