which font and colour should i go for?
Hi all just need to pick a few brains. Don’t forget I’m only a vinyl jockey .
I have a lady client who is doing it tuff and she would like a sign to go on a chainwire fence (probably signwhite she only wants the phone number address & scrapbooking on the sign She doesn’t have a large budget & we can’t afford to do it for nothing. the sign will be about 40meters from the road Speed limit 80kph which means most are doing 85kph.
Now the question is what font and what colour scheme will get the best result for the dollar.
If this shouldn’t be asked here or I am out of line please accept my apology & ignore.
Many thanks

I would go with black text on yellow at a text height of 12" to 15" high for max impact mate.

Mike, Black/yellow combination is recognised as the best (see how long it takes to see a D!ck Smith store from a distance). The next best is black/white, then red/white.
I agree with nick on heights, but if you stick to something like helv bold, you’ll have the best option when it comes to reading it. Stay away from condensing the font tho.
