Which layout do you guys think i should use?

[Phill Fenton]

Top right does it for me. 😀 Nice one (as are the others – but this one is the best)

[John Singh]

Yeah!
Top right for me
The cream, towards beige, blends well with the rest

The script in the first one has lost a little definition

Yellow’s fine but the cream more subtle

I agree with Lorraine – top right but with cream infills all rounf on the title…

Top right…

But whould it look better if you “filled” the W and S like in top left?

[Rod Gray]

Thanks guys,

I also preferred the top right as i felt the yellow detracted from the “older” feel.

i`m curious of one other thing though, did the weaved background pattern seem apparent to you guys when looking at the sign?. Or did anyone actually notice it?…..and if i hadn`t just mentioned it, do you think you`d have noticed?.

/edit oh and i almost forgot, does anyone think i`ll get away with NOT having an apostrophe beteen r and s on Weaver’s?

Thanks again

Rod

[Mike Brown]

Can I be honest Rod and say – I thought they represented flagstones or tiles…I know, I know, the title is ‘Weavers’ but I’m gettin’ old!…?

Maybe it’s because so much is obscured or maybe you need to use two subtly different shades to give an over-under feel to it?

If you need any help – shout!

Thanks for the feedback Mike, its like gold-dust.

Looking at the jpg and looking at the cdl file i can see a huge difference which appears to be caused by screen calibration etc. I don`t really think the jpg does the signs any justice.

On the cdl cut file, the colours are much clearer and more vibrant and perhaps show the weave pattern a little clearer. My frustration is that the machine and software i designed this on is not my own and althought the owner is a friend, i hate to think i`m imposing on anyone.

I`m gonna need to save hard for Signlab so i can spend as much time as i like to tweak these little things. 😀

I`ll post up a photo once the sign is complete.

Thanks again for the feedback mate.

Yep, Mike said the same as I felt, I thought the background was tiles… I also go with top right, …. nice one,

Steve

[John Singh]

I’d put the apostrosphe there ONLY if the customer insisted
otherwise it would upset the balance.

Text in signs don’t have to follow convention

We see in your own layout a Capital W and then at the end what appears to be a capital S. Yet it appears aesthetically pleasing

Another example: In a sentence we may initial cap every word.

quote Gray:

Rod, you’ll hate me for saying so,

Exactly the opposite mate. Constructive criticism is like gold dust. Without sounding melodramatic, i crave it. It wakens me to things i don`t see.

I was unable to make the sign today due to some delivery hitches with Europoint but they colours of vinyl i`m using are very subtley different and in reality there isn`t quite the same dramatic change in colour tone and it looks quite effective.

I`ll post the picture when i get it finished.

Cheers

Rod
