    Hi Stephen,

    The only thing id suggest is making their logo smaller, this sign isnt about branding no-one will care who the company is and their logo takes up most of the sign.

    Make it clear what the service is Id have MUGS PRINTED WHILE YOU WAIT or HAVE YOUR PICTURE ON A MUG NOW! (dont use the word not in text) as large as poss with a pic of a mug.

    i would remove the tree from the background as it makes the text a little hard to read.

    Steve, too much green in it with the green grass in the mug. I can make a suggestion (I don’t do this very often). I like some of the top design. I would keep the image with all of the mugs in and replace the two images below with one larger mug in the centre, I think it’s good to see other alternatives. Hope that helps.

    It’s too busy.
    You want it to grab attention quick.
    I would decrease the words and rearrange them.
    I do not care for the black lettering with the white outline as it offers very little contrast.
    (sorry for my cruddy mug mock up, and I don’t have the right Roman font)
    The red lettering makes the other version look like Christmas.
    I always make the £ or $ a bit smaller than the number.
    You could make the tree as a watermark in the background.
    Love….Jill
