difficult Hanging sign advice
I have to supply a hanging sign to replace a very nice hand painted one, unfortunately done on mdf which has blown,
The client is on a budget, and I have had a quote to replicate, from a respected brushy, and I do appreciate the work that is involved,
but out of the range the customer wants to spend.
will this do as an alternative?I will use the oak frame from jag signs, varnished, and composite for the panel.
any advice welcomePeter

Like you say Peter the customer is on a budget and the cost to replicate is out of their price range. As an alternative I think your visual is OK, colours are good and it’s well laid out. How you going to mount it though if it’s a hanging sign ??
-
The post and cross bar is already in place, so using Jag corner brackets,
and shacklesPeter

why not just replicate the sign in 10mm foamex if you have any off-cuts.
its hanging so wont expand and distort and if you cover face in vinyl you should get the life out of it. -
Peter, I’ve not used the jag framing but I take it it is double sided. Not quite sure how the corner brackets work either so I will have to do a bit of research 😉

I like the colours – nice and traditional looking. All you can do is put forward your proposal and let the customer decide.
Personally I can’t see much difference between the two examples, and if yours is much closer to the customers budget then why not? It’s probably going to be longer lasting too.

This is how it looks up to now

Peter yours looks like it would be much more stable than the original.
Any time you get pieces like that on a hanging sign it’s almost asking for failure.
I think it should be just fine.
And now I am homesick for your house.

just my view on layout.
move the no to the middle.
i like the triangular shape of the main text but think that it should be a bit wider. or pale green swirls to take the large space away.:peek:
