We create three-dimensional signs, sandblasted, routed, and carved, where the background is removed to create raised or carved letters and graphics, just like many other sign companies. This gives you a more interesting sign with two levels which creates shadows and makes it much more interesting than a flat two-dimensional sign.

The Old Dominion Boat Club routed sign has 7 levels. Click on any photo here to see the large version and look at how much more interesting they are. The Kids Zone is not a large sign but it still has 6 levels. It is our job to create a sign that is different enough that people see and more importantly notice and remember it. 

Many subconscious assumptions are made in the first few seconds when your sign is viewed for the first time. And whether it's right or wrong, people do judge books by their covers.

Consider how many signs you actually read when you are driving. If you were to read every sign as you drove down the road you would never get over 10MPH and yet somehow you have a knowledge of most of them.

It is our job to grab the attention of the viewers' subconscious and convince it that whatever your perception and image of your home, business, or organization is; we portray it in such a way that the viewer is left in no doubt that this is the place they want.

Choice of font:

The choice of a sign font can be important.

Each of these signs projects a different image, think about the feeling you get when you look at each sign.

You don't always look at signs like this and study them, it's more than your subconscious absorbs any content that grabs its attention

.

Other very important visual clues are taken from materials, shapes, and colors. 

 

Some of the factors that govern letter size are:

  • How far away the sign will be viewed from.
  • At what speed is the viewer traveling?
  • What are the colors and contrast ratios in the design?
  • Are the letters 3 dimensional, sandblasted, carved, or routed? Extra shadows can enhance some signs while making others harder to read. This is also affected by the depth of the letters.

There are dozens of other things to be taken into account when designing a sign and in thirty years we have found that not every "designer" is very well trained in sign design. Just because it looks good on a printed piece of paper when held under your nose and it has your undivided attention will it be even the tiniest bit noticeable at 60 mph. then add in other distractions and many signs become invisible. 

So how come you do know what many of those signs say? It's your subconscious. Our job is to make your subconscious go "ooh, what was that?" If we do that, then it's a good sign. However, we strive to make your subconscious go "WOW! hey, conscious mind - get a look at that!"

If we do that then we have a great sign! And that's what we try to do every day.
