Questions & Answers

How should I go about selecting features for my design or plaque? There are so many choices!!

Choosing your sign's design features is straightforward if you know what you want it to look like when you enter the site. Perhaps you have seen an attractive sign you like. Send us a photo, a sketch, or just write down the size, shape, color scheme, font style and art-we will create a unique custom design for you based on our standard shapes, colors, font and art.

However, most clients don't know what they want their sign to look like- they want to look through all possibilities until they find an example they like.You can do this by visiting our Product and Application Galleries. Look in the Application Galleries menu for the use of the sign, then click on that link to review many designs for that application. However, we only have a small sample there of all possible sign designs. You can mix and match design features from several signs, e.g., shape of A10111, colors of A10130, art of A10161, and font of A10162 (middle text). Just reference the photo numbers of signs that you want your sign to look like, and we will do the rest. We will send you proofs putting all this together in an integrated design.

Another approach is to first decide on your top-level requirements, and this will lead you to certain design features. These include size, shape, and mounting method. Where will it be located (on a door, a wall, overhead on an projecting bracket, freestanding with posts, on a large concrete base?) What is he text (copy) you want on it.? How large should it be, and how large should the lettering be so people can clearly read it? How far away will people be when they view it? Will a single-faced sign meet your needs, or do you need both sides finished? Do you need art on the sign, and if so, will 2D Silhouette Art suffice, or do you want 3D CarvedArt in Product Line 2? You can then go to the appropriate Product Line and browse through its Catalog-you are sure to get some ideas on sign shape, color, and art that may meet your requirements. The Catalogs give valuable suggestions on how to select shape, color, font type, and artwork.
