    This is something that we do a lot here. Loud, tasteless, in your face, get as much on the sign as you can.

    "I want it to be eye-catching" is all l hear.

    Waaaayyy too much going on there …. but yet it seems right! 😀
    It’s there to catch the eye of kids who’ll drag their parents over to it – job done!
    Give the customer what they want and they’ll come back for more! Good work! 😉

    I think that shows perfectly, the purpose of a sign – yes it’s loud, yes it’s busy & yes it is totally unbalanced but it will do it’s job – to advertise & attract…job done

    I think for the public it aims it’s just great.

    We got to be honest, it’s not a van, it’s not a fancy restaurant, it’s a candy shop we’re kids atracted by powerful colors, shinny pictures, etc should drag their mothers into, then they’ll leave with that sense of guilty … Mothers gaining weight … you get the picture … Job done.

    I really liked it.
    Obviously you did a great job.
    K.I.S.S. rules!!
