Birch Grove Cattery
Posted by Steve Broughton on November 20, 2003 at 3:21 pmJust got the go for this sign, 4′ x 3′ ish on 2 posts supply only. Before anyone asks I found the cat in a Corel clipart book and designed the rest of it around him. Painted exterior grade MDF board and the rest vinyl.

Very nice I like it the only thing that bugs me is the dash lines between the sub text i think small diamonds or dots would do the trick maybe a different colour – maybe the colour used in the heading immitation gold

Hi Steve!
I’m with Adrian on the dashes. But I would use little cat paw prints instead of dots. And the kitty needs a corresponding grey shadow under him like on the main copy to make him “pop”.
Cute! I like the main copy font too. Can you soften the areas between the 2 colors on it to blend it?
I was laughing when I saw the title of your post…as far as I know, we do not have catteries here!
Love- JILL

Great idea about the paw prints Jill thanks and yes there should be a shadow under him, between Signlab and making a JPG in Corel its vanished (?)

Great Looking Sign, but just one thing, I hope you haven’t completed it yet, as accommodation has 2 ‘c’s. ๐

Its that Scotsman’s influence, just cos he can’t spell he’s put a bug in to jinx everyone else ๐ well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it, honest it was right before I uploaded it ๐ ๐

That looks GREAT!!! The only thing that’s got me thinking is that the black outline on the cat is thicker than the sign border, and the pussy is not jumping as maybe the lazy bugger should.
I can’t wait to see this one made Steve.

Fantastic sign Steve, should get the customer noticed ๐

Who said freedom… ๐ ๐ ๐Steve I love the sign.. Really, cracking work and comical at the same time. I bet many comment on it to your customer..
I greed with Jill and Adrian about the dash-paws..
Looks better now you amended it. One thing though.. (No im not mentioning kerning) the paws maybe better in the same brown as the top half of the title letter.. Breaks it up a little
