    Hiya

    Am not sure if this looks right for some reason any advice please!?

    The playgroup owns the building on the left hand side and has just bought the one on the right so wants a sign in the middle. i think am going to put it behind the drain pipe and then wrap the drain pipe in white vinyl. but its restricting me with the layout. because the drain pipe is not in the middle of the building!!

    And if there’s anything else all advice is welcome.

    Thank you

    Martin

    Hi Martin I think your shadow on the text is too big, and the sign looks unbalanced as the wording on the left over powers the graphic on the right.

    If it was me I would make two signs – one to fit either side of the drainpipe rather than try and disguise the drainpipe itself.

    I have removed the old sign and put the new sign in the middle of the wall

    Ive reduce the shading and moved playgroup over. what do you think? not sure about the bee @ the other side!

    Are you meaning identical signs? i dont think the customer will want that. she will think am trying to sell her two signs when one will do the job.

    I agree with Phil, the drain pipe will make the sign look amateurish. Make 2 signs with different text on them – one could be a logo, strap line and what the company do, the other a very small logo and contact details.

    Or one sign with the details, then print the bee same depth as the sign and contour cut with a jigsaw and mount with spacers behind?

    I would put the sign on a painted timber sub-frame so it can go over the drainpipe
