    First things that come to mind:
    Black and red do not work well in a design (touching) as they have the same contrast value.
    Brush Script is VERY dated looking….maybe try something else?
    The bottom line would fit better in all caps.
    Try not to use more than 2 fonts per layout.
    Just my 2¢
    Love…..Jill

    Gotta agree with Jill. Black and red doesnt work together.
    You do have alot of “ands” in there. Signs AND Graphics Embroidery AND Printing. Doesnt seem to read well. Maybe you could narrow down what you want to emphasize. Graphics usually comes with the territory of making signs.

    Tailor Made SIGNS
    Embroidery and Printing.

    Just some thoughts.

    I’d steer clear of stencil font too, about as dated as script.

    Jill and Steve are right here.

    I’d be looking at keeping the fonts to 2 myself.

    I think you are tring to cover too much in a small logo.

    I’d drop the graphics too and printing could probably go. I don’t have printing on my sigange, but I get asked about it alot. People seem to associate signs and printing here for some reason

    Not much help I know, but the whole design looks very dated as the fonts have been around for a while now.

    Here is what I came up with,
    inspired by my dear UK pal Arthur Vanson,
    using his fonts.
    Sorry no sharing of files with this one….
    just wanted to give you an idea.
    Love…..Jill
