Not flowing for me.
Your angles are not inviting - they feel a little harsh - and not in a good way. I don't like the distortion of the letters on the same line (look at the width of your R in both words) I understand it's perspective? But I don't think it's working.
I don't think the fonts are working together well either...

A fat black contour around the star would be a start.

I agree on the black contour around the star, to bring it in line with the boldness of the font. Try something italic on "SPORTS & CLOTHING" with no outline.

Thanks all. Stacy, I like what you've done there....but....I don't, as yet, have any A&S fonts (I am going to get some though). I was using Variat Display SSI and Eurostile (after trying just about every combination of fonts I have). Are Variat or Eurostile knockoffs of A&S fonts?
I'll do some revising over the next couple of days. This job is two months away before the store is opening. There's a strong possibility that the letters alone will also be cut out and applied to the store front as well as the sandblasted one for a pylon at the mall entrance so I was shying away from anything to delicate for the "sports & clothing" part.

I was thinking of blasting around that shape then adding a cnc cut alupanel or sintra compass rose on top which would either be painted or have vinyl applied to it. The east/west points would lap over/lay on top of the letters either side.

I like the First one

I like the first one. With the addition of what shovel said and "Sports & Clothing" skewed a little more upright. Can't wait to see the end result.

I like that idea and I'm sure it would be satisfying to do and look excellent. I would like that part to overlap the letters so I' could build that part up from the wood surface....perhaps some easily carveable sign foam ... got lots of scraps of that around. I should mention that this sandblasted sign is only 15" tall x 42" long and the closest you could get to it would be about 16 feet away from the road (with a ditch between).

I would make it a little more traditional looking, not too much skews or proportions being that it is a permanent redwood sandblasted sign.
