    Here’s a simple job that was done a wee while ago. The customer had a very limited budget, the fascias were all painted in gloss black paint and graphics all done in Metamark metallic gold vinyl and Metafrost for the small window logos.
    thankfully I talked them out of using their ‘artwork’ for their name …. it was all uppercase brush script!!!! 😮

    Nice, smart looking job Marcella.

    I’m just a big concerned about the woman in black and white who seems to be hanging about touting for business!

    Roll up, roll up – get your coffins here

    Not really the kind of job you want freebies from, is it?

    Nice Job. Well done with persuading the customer out of his font. Can sometimes be a bit hard when you know full well he’s designed it.

    Nice and simple. Elegant.
    Brush Script for a funeral parlor? hahahaha
    All caps no less.
    I think I was near Renfrew on Monday.
    And we have a Renfrew about 3 miles up the road from me.
    It was great to meet you in person too, Marcella.
    Love…..Jill

    Speaking of which, there’s a Co-Op funeral directors near me. They’ve just changed their sign from some nice gold leaf and black window lettering to a grotesque purple folded tray sign with moulded acrylic lettering. Mental! Some design agency tosser really must’ve put some thought into that one.

    Maybe they were trying to make the place look more ‘user-friendly’!? 😮
