Sign Ideas

LOOKING TO GET
SOME GREAT IDEAS
FOR YOUR SIGN?

PICK A SHAPE (Hint: Unusual Shapes can be a key ingredient to your image)

PICK A FONT (Hint: There are thousands...pick a dominant Main line and let the subcopy
be neutral. Also be careful about legibility or viewing from a distance)

PICK A STYLE (Hint: There are endless variations available, some are subtle and some
not so)

PICK A SYMBOL (Hint: The sky's the limit on just the right piece of art or symbol that
you can use. Generally a bold symbol in "silhouette" is both striking, memorable and costs
less to duplicate)

PICK A COLOR(S)
ON A LIGHT BACKGROUND (Hint: dark colors usually lasts longer outdoors)

Or A DARK BACKGROUND ( To maintain legibility use lights on darks and vice versa)

Remember you are making a "sign", not writing a book. Keep it simple. One strong message is best,
like "Who are you...and what do you Do." And if appropriate... "How do I get a hold of you!" Leave
some space in your sign. A smaller well made sign is always better than a poorly thought out big
ugly sign. Think about continuity. Your sign should reflect your image. Don't send mixed messages.
One color here, one color there, different typestyles here, different look there. How and where you
mount your sign is important too. If you have a new business we encourage you to make the most out
of your sign design. Turn it into letterheads, business cards, envelopes, checks, decals, ads, vehicle
signs, websites and everything else you do in business when you present your image to the public. If
you have an existing business, is it time to update your image? A fresh new look can help you keep
that competitive edge.
