• Naff sign

    Posted by Martin Cole on November 4, 2010 at 8:33 pm

    Well here’s another classic,

    This is in part of Stratford Station besides the Docklands railway and next to the new Olympic stadium so not exactly hidden away as it should be.

    Shame on who ever creates such tat and worst of all convincing the customer this is good enough to put above their premises.

    it looks far worse in real life btw.

    I wonder if by any chance the sign maker that made this sign was on these boards, do you think he/her would own up to making it! 😳 🙄

    No they will defend everything about it, if anything they will post it up again in Algerian or Comic Sans.

    I’ve had new neighbours move in on either side this year, one guy came round and introduced himself and later asked me to make a new sign for him. The other side made a lot of noise drilling holes in the walls and employed a deaf painter who listened to crap music FM for a week, and since then I’ve not seen them but they did fit there own sign.
    Not sure if I should bother to go and see them

    "Its what the customer wanted" "He insisted it was done this way" So why should I bother to correct it and waste my precious time! 🙄

    Mike, I don’t know what you are complaining about, sign looks good and you should be happy. Don’t think much of the one that Steve did above it though. Signmaker should really do better. :lol1:
