    funny you should start this topic, i was sitting in the van the other day with andrew when i said there are some names and slogans used so much i just hate them…

    Any company with the word "direct" in it cracks me up… i.e. "Signs Direct"
    "your one stop shop" is a slogan that ooes the same… the list goes on. 🙄

    Only when I’m happy
    Funny though I can’t stop singing when I’m working
    I suppose its a mix up with the brain – should be signing not singing

    People have written my name as John Sign lots of times (in fact I’ve done it!!!!!)

    I have used this one for the last 15 years.

    A rival sign company tried to use it but twisted it to read……….

    A good sign of a business is a business with a good sign.

    Not only was it a pathetic attempt to nick my saying but his advert was right next to mine in the Yellow pages 🙄 🙄 🙄 (:) (chat.) 😳

    Interesting link dave. Enjoyed that.

    My slogan "signs and designs by mouse…. not brush" is very well known now after only 3 years or so. Equally, my mouse symbol is also well known.

    Unfortunately it has been copied by a sign shop in the UK who obviously lacks any imagination at all. I can only imagine he is a cowboy that has no ability to think for him or herself.

    ….. I feel better now :lol1:

    Living in west London years ago, I remember an Indian glazing firm who had the slogan: ‘You’ve tried the cowboys, now try the Indians!’

    Don’t know if they’re still going, but it certainly made them stand out.

    I did a sign on the back of a Holland blind installer the other day "Caution – Blind Man Driving" He just about gets run off the road everyday by people checking him out. He wears dark glasses an all.

    funny you should mention that, a pal of mine, a bit of a prankster, occasionally asks me to make him little signs, i made him a big yellow sticker with a £ sign on it, i wouldnt like to gues what type of apperatus that might be going on !

    but…. i made one that says ‘this is a rubbish lorry’ which he later put on the rear local refuse truck, and another which says "this is a sucking brilliant lorry" which aparently is gonna end up on another of the same firms lorries !!! (i think its ok cos he knows the boss !), must get him to take some photos !

    There was a guy who did excavating, for whom I’ve done a lot of work.
    He wanted something catchy on the big trailer he parks at job sites.
    We came up with "Excavating Rocks!"

    strange, we are known as The Sign Shop, but we do not have a till with ready made signs to buy off the shelf, but it says exactly what we do in a simple and effective way. We are also known as Signs of Success! which is a slogan in a way.
