Richard,
hope you don’t mind but i would rather see “shop fascia’s” instead of fronts. always makes me think that joe public will think you only paint the shop front woodwork.
Just my opinion, otherwise top one is good.L J
just a suggestion, why not put a white outline around the red text!!
-
good point never thought of the wording but your right
i will go with that and try an outline may look to busy with the outline as well ?? -
Lose the apostrophe from “Fascia’s”. Also, what does it look like with the list of services all in the same style? I think it may make the list easier to follow.
-
if this is going outside, then drop the phone number for another word?
I don’t get the point of phone numbers on signs too much, kinda “Walk in for a quote” type thing
-
Looks good mate, I would keep the phone number. If you nip out for a bag of chips at dinner at least someone can leave a message on your phone! What point is a sign without a number in this day of mobiles? Many a time i’ve taken note of a number by typing it into the phone and calling later, it is’nt always practical to pop in for a quote, just imho.
cheers, Mark.

Rich, I think that the items in the yellow border are over powering the red text like andy has said, the may be better all done the same,

thanks -

nice one andy i like the bullet points and colour… its the arrow looks too big 😀

I know it’s a bit old hat, but I always think that bullets help to make a list a bit easier on the eye. If the premises are easily identifiable, then I wouldn’t bother with the arrow.

quote Andy Gorman:but I always think that bullets help to make a list a bit easier on the eye. If the premises are easily identifiable, then I wouldn’t bother with the arrow.
coudnt agree more….but i would change the arrow…ditch the horizontal yellow bit…and just leave the pointy yellow bit a tad smaller though 😕 so your left with the phone number :lol1: customers i get INSIST on the arrow being somewhere on the a-board 😀

Rich

Cheers
Andrew
[no fonts at home!] -
I was going to suggest moving the arrow under your name, but he!! since Andrew’s post…well it doesn’t much matter!
:lol1:Nice job Andrew
